IME rich people sue each other because they can. Most lawsuits are settled before trial. There were probably plenty of discussions prior to going to the lawyers about fees and salary. It should be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

Well I’m not sure this is the motivation for most lawsuits but I do agree that we may never know the truth. It will likely get settled out of court and the dirt swept back under the stall mat.

The guy’s whole life reads like a TV reality show. He is the son of a wealthy property developer, who is on his second (blonde trophy type) wife. Daddy lives in a home on 160 acres that he bulldozed and rebuilt which sells for many millions with 10 acres, because Ben boy has the rest for his stud operation. Ben boy dates his groom. Ben boy then meets glamorous, blonde, bimbo model. Ben boy and bimbo get married. Ben boy moves blondie in to his 3 bedroom cottage. Ex groom girlfriend accuses them of assault in the local pub. Bimbo meets rich scrap yard proprietor, owner of Big Star (Skelton’s horse). Bimbo legs it after the money and marries the totter.
Is it any real surprise ??[/QUOTE]
I’m sitting here by myself and laughing at this description… So funny for such a sordid situation. Great show potential (Dallas style), just change the names and a few minor details.

Good question. How would one find that out if not from the previous owner? Gossip?[/QUOTE]
Welll…there’s the case of an expensive dressage horse who was imported from Europe by an upper level rider. The horse didn’t work out, so the owner sent him back to Europe to be sold. Time goes on, and the agent in Europe says he’s trying to find a buyer.
Then one day the American owner is reading a very well-known European dressage news website, and oh-my-land, there’s an article about a young rider and her lovely horse that her parents bought a few months ago, and they’re going to their first show.
Guess who’s horse it was ?
