<< I'd also say that what the seller did would legally constitute fraud,
but taking him to court over it would cost more than the $400 you've
spent. I would take the horse back to him immediately, get a contract
cancellation, and request a refund. If he refuses, tell him that on
your way back to town you're filing a small claims court claim against
him for the $400 and see if he budges. Small claims are filed in
District Court and usually cost about $15, lawyers are NOT allowed, so
at worst you'll be out the time away from work.
However, if he really doesn't have any money, just walk away from it.
You'll start sleeping at night again.

Mike...out here (ohio) lawyers ARE allowed in small claims. Makes it hard
for the little guy to win..it is NO people's court!!! I bought a load of hay
(PAID guys to help haul) and after I got it all in the barn and started using
it a few months later, EVERY bale was MOLDY!!! I called the man who sold it
to me (he had told me he guaranteed his hay). He told me to bring it back..
Try hauling 500 bales of hay BACK!!! No way I could do it. I threw it in
the pastures for my horses to "play" with.. they nibbled a little, but mostly
used it for bedding. I saved enought to bring to the small claims court..HE
brought a lawyer..The judge wouldn't even LOOK at the hay..dismissed the
case..said I should have brought it back... Live and learn. We all get
burned now and then...
