Most boarding agreements that I've had (as a boarder) include a stableman's lien.  Do you have a written agreement with her?  I would call her back and tell her that the horse isn't going anywhere unless she shows up with a  BANK CHECK for the $2,800.  I don't know if a stableman's lien is a state law that doesn't require that it be written into your boarding agreement.  Maybe there are some lawyers here that can chime in on the subject.

I board a few horses at my farm, more of a hobby than a business, nothing fancy just making a little extra horse money and using the extra space that I have.  Well, I have one boarder that has not paid her board in 8 months, she never comes to see the horse, just calls with "How's she doing?",  and I've had to pay the horse's vet bill, farrier etc.,  Well, how do I go about putting a lein on this horse ?  Is it a legal thing I need a lawyer for or do I just send a certified letter to the owner ?  She called saying she is moving her horse to another barn, but didn't say anything about paying her huge bill. ($ 2800)  What do I do in this situation?    Thanks.
