Marie MacCormack Marie Elaine MacCormack entered into a purchase contract to buy 3 horses from me. defaulted on the contract, then neglected the animals and they were confiscated by the animal welfare department of the state of Maine Washington Maine

REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER WAS DONE OR NOT DONE, SAID OR NOT SAID, THE ISSUE IS THAT I WANT TO PAID FOR MY HORSES AND LISA LAYTON WANTS TO BE PAID FOR HER HORSES. THE HORSES WERE SOLD TO MARIE MACCORMACK AND SHE DID NOT PAY FOR THEM. THE CONTRACT FOR THE SALE OF MY HORSES WAS ISSUED IN JUNE OF 2012. LISA'S HORSES WERE DELIVERED TO MARIE IN OCTOBER OF 2013.

I would like to dispute the entie rebuttal report. The stallion in question had a 100%  conception rate here on my farm. He has 16 foals on the ground. I instructed Marie to HAND BREED him, however, her idea of a breeding program is to turn the stallion out with the mares and hope for the best. This stallion was NEVER pasture bred. As to the NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE, the horse was boarded @ a friend's for several months, and was STARVED, he was 100% sound when he left here, so, wahtever happened after that, I could not say.

I ALSO SPOKE TO THE VET WHOSE EMPLOYEE EXAMINED MY HORSE, AND SHE AGREED THAT THE YOUNG VET, WHO HAD SINCE BEEN LET GO, HAD PROBABLY MISDIAGNOSED HIM D/T HIS STARVED CONDITION @ THE TIME. I PAID FOR THE COGGINS AND THE TOTAL PAID ON THE $4500 CONTRACT WAS $1421, I HAVE WRITTEN RECORDS OF THIS. I ALSO HAVE COPIES OF THE E-MAILS FROM MARIE MACCORMACK, 75 PAGES WORTH, I WAS AS KIND AND PATIENT AS ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY BE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, AND IN RETURN, RECEIVED NOTHING BUT PROMISES AND EXCUSES. 

I DO NOT ABUSE ALCHOHOL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO RETRIEVE MY ANIMALS AS SPECIFIED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT. IF THAT HAD OCCURRED, THEY WOULD NOT CURRENTLY BE UNDER THE CARE OF THE ANIMAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT IN THE STATE OF MAINE, WHERE THEY ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE OR USEFUL TO ANYONE @ THE PRESENT TIME. I HAVE RAISED AND SOLD HORSES FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, SUCH AS THIS, A VERY DISAPPOINTING END TO MY BREEDING CAREER.

 Janet Lewis, Owner of Sunbridge Sadderly in Nunda NY sold me a Stallion that was not viable, and who was diagnosed with a nerological disease by my vet in Jan 2013 after extensive treatment he seemed to pull through although his ability to sire foals was still in question.  The 2 Mares had been paid for and 800.00 on the Stallion, I paid for the coggins and transportation costs. Janet Lewis listed the horses separately on the Arabian Horse Association web site, I never signed a second contract after she violated her own contract.  Janet Lewis continuously sent me threatening emails, degrading emails to which I responded cordually and respectfully. She appeared to be drunk and biligerant in all of them!  All 3 Horses I purchased with the intent to add them to a breeding program.  I was willing to give Janet back the Stallion but not the Mares so then she contacted Annebessecook Clinic and got Dr. Fey involved and contacted Animal Welfare with outrages complaints.  I can not say more than this as there is a Federal Lawsuit pending.  I did take care of my horses and provided them with nessesary shelter, food, water and vet care.
