I live in Maryland and I could not continue to pay board for my horse as I’ve accumulated around $6,000 in back board debt and have been paying extra on top of monthly board to get caught up but became too much to pay them back AND keep her there so I moved her to a cheaper barn. I have written permission for me to move my horse from the barn owners she was on if I gave them my address so they could send me an IOU. When I moved her this morning, they became angry saying I stole from them and didn’t sign a payment agreement before I left. I was not made aware of this I was only told they’d be sending an IOU via mail. They are threatening to take me to civil court over it when all I did was move her. I have NO contract with them during the time I had my horse boarded there and they have added more charges against me without contacting me first such as vaccinations, farrier services, and other shots and dewormer. What are my rights? They now want me to sign an agreement in 5 days or they will show up on my doorstep with a lawyer.
