What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
My now 19 year old daughter had worked at a local farm where she was at the birth of a pony, she named the pony, and raised this pony to show at 4-H every year for the past 4 years. She put every cent to pay for everything she needed to show this pony, and about 3 months ago, the owner told her she would sell the pony to her for 1000.00. My daughter was ecstatic. She was to pay $100/month, no board, that was the agreement. There was nothing in writing, but there were witnesses to this agreement. Myself, the husband of the woman, my daughter, another woman and her daughter were there at the time, and another boarder heard this said. My daughter also was boarding another horse at this farm and going to college full time. As college got closer to starting this year, she found out she could not afford the board on the horse, paying for her college and the $100 for the pony, so the place where she works allowed her to board the horse free.
The woman who owns the pony doesn't like the man my daughter works for. She found out where my daughter moved the horse too and immediately called up her cell phone and informed her today that she was no longer selling her the pony, even though my daughter has already paid her $100 on the pony. She was returning her money and no longer selling her the pony.
I know for a fact she is planning on selling this pony to someone, just not my daughter.
My question is, if my daughter refuses to take the money back, will she still have to sell the pony to her because money has exchanged hands? If not, can my daughter do anything, because she had worked for this place training 8 horses and ponys for them for 4 years. She normally gets a rate of $20/hour for the training of horses and ponys, however she was never paid for training these animals for this farm.
She loves this pony, she named her and showed her, and she is the only one who has ever showed her.
In my opinion this woman is only being spiteful because my daughter had to move the horse in order to afford to pay for the pony. My daughter is heartbroken over this.
Can anyone help?
