STATE OF ARIZONA
I have a horse, I board him. When I moved in I didnt sign any paper that said they could take him for back board money/as in sieze the horse. i owe them back board and told them I would pay it all by feb 15. They now want me to sign a paper saying I will which I have no problem with BUT the paper also says that they can without taking me to court seize and sell my horse. I dont want to sign it. They are also holding my horse as hostage. They moved my horse to another stall at the barn and will not allow me normal access to the horse (I am not allowed to walk him, brush him etc.) They are also not supposed to turn him out etc but they are and will not allow me to. So question 1 is - without taking me to small claims court do they have the right to keep my horse. Question 2 - can I just go there and move my horse or is it against the law question 3 - if i sign my horse over to someone and have them go pick him up is there a lean on the horse (I have not gone to small claims court, have no judgement against me, I never signed a paper with them saying they could keep my horse if i didnt pay board ontime) If I sign it over to them can they go after the person I sign the horse over to. Thank you!!!!
