Good lord! I thought barn drama was over the top. Add divorce drama and police get involved!
Got a call to move 2 horses off a farm. Lady running the farm is divorcing the guy trainer. Manure hit the air circulation device yesterday and she bans him from the property, get them off by end of business Sunday. HE scrambles to get stall space somewhere they will let him teach, and calls me to move em.
She tosses a fit and says the horse belonging to him cant leave the property because it is community property. He had the foresight to have PD escort come with us.
Finally agree that the one horse can leave but the other was staying pending return calls.from both lawyers.
We load 1 and go.
I'm half way to the new barn and get a call come get #2 . Apparently her lawyer called back and said the horse was bought after the separation and therefore not community property.
In the meantime other horse owners are gathering to watch the double drama. A couple even pulled out lawn chairs!
What should have been 30 minutes from load to unload has taken most of the day. I asked for an extra $20 to cover the yoyo miles. The owner of the first horse decided I went above and beyond and added a $60 tip!
