Re: strange telephone call

["DeSoto Saddle" <desotosaddle@voyager.net>]

I recieved a call from the Lawyer in California about buying my horse. I did
sell him because I needed to reduce the number of horses I own especially
because of moving. I was not happy in the end as they never paid the
remainder of their pre purchase vet bills and of course the vet is billing
me now.

I recieved another phone call 3 months after I sold the horse to them saying
he was lame. They threatened me with a lawsuit! The pre purchase exam
complete with X-rays was done by a well renown endurance vet.
