Horsing Around

The plaintiff leased her horse to the defendant for free in exchange for feeding and taking care of the horse. The plaintiff claims the defendant took terrible care of the horse and left him malnourished, so she rescued him. She’s suing for vet bills. The defendant argues she and her husband split up, so she wasn’t able to contact the plaintiff. She thinks her ex is behind the whole thing.

Doug was savage! He usually makes some smart comments to the losing side, but he went full on scorched earth with the defendant… and I loved every minute. 😂

Someone should be in jail over the condition of that horse

[lolamaude]

I agree the denfendant needed to be charged with animal cruelty! It says so much about who she is, to be able to treat an animal like this. The woman's husband is equally to blame!

[wooonthebeat]

Doug never misses an opportunity to shame you 😂

[BeKindAllKinds]

Imagine walking by a starving horse every day and doing nothing. The defendant is a sociopath.

I don't like the attitude of the defendant. I don't give a hoot who signed the contract. She had the horse in her care and she could have at least gone out and given it something to eat. And it was their daughter who was riding. That is plain cruelty. The judge should have made her paid the whole $1500.00.

For the first time ever I'm thankful for Doug's sassy mouth

[SmilingSynic]

Doug's pointed and brutal questions to the defendant may be seen as a perfectly legal and well deserved form of animal cruelty.

[VonDonald]

Even if you were doing everything your husband told you, anyone with eyes could see that horse was not being properly cared for

[LiveLikeAlex]

The defendant wanted a little more to say? What could she say? She never fed that horse and I freaking love that Doug let her have it! She’s a terrible person for starving an animal like that.

[Terrafire]

The defendant is clearly someone who has never had to take responsibility for anything she has ever done. It will always be someone else’s fault.

[jenniferbart]

Even if she was following how her husband told her to feed the horse ect.She has eyeballs and one would think she would notice the horse loosing 400 lbs.She just didn’t care because it wasn’t her horse.And it was a free rental.That’s evil.

[GW-outu]

This woman is pure evil. You didn’t feed the How do you need advice on how to feed a living being?!? 🙄🙄🙄

[saramichele]

As someone who owned and competed horses most of my life, I'm absolutely horrified at the sight of that poor, neglected horse. It doesn't take an animal expert to see how emaciated that horse was! The defendant is awful. I'm also an animal control officer, and she should have gotten a summons for that neglect. Disgusting. I don't blame the husband for fighting for custody! If she treats animals like that, she shouldn't care for children! What an evil piece of garbage! 🤬

[kathyclaudiochandler]

Doug has no chill and let her have it. He is a gem and the real MVP of the show.

[alwayswfpb]

Evil woman! Too bad she can’t be starved and neglected the way she did to that poor horse!

[eg]

The defendant illogical reasoning is so ridiculous. Doesnt take responsibility for anything. Kudos to JM for her closing remarks. Yet she still didnt feel remorseful.

[diesel_enduro]

Doug is an absolute savage with his passive verbal beatings at the end..

[eastcane]

Acting like the staving horse in the pictures wasn't the same horse, the defendant is evil.

[redgurl]

The husband stopped by the end of August to tell her they didn't want the horse anymore (AND asked if she can come get him), left the wife in September, and the plaintiff didn't go get the horse until mid January? The Plaintiff shares some blame in this. If someone has my animal, and they tell me they don't want it anymore, I'M GOING TO GET IT, and not 5 months later. Also, the defendant's husband shares just as much blame, as the defendent, in the condition of the horse, 1 because he knew he was the sole care taker of the horse, 2 he saw the deterration of the horse when he came to get his kid, and 3 he sent pictures to the Plaintiff to show the horse's condition, but didn't get a trailer to send the horse back, or even assist with feeding the horse. He was more concerned about winning a custody battle than keeping the horse alive. And there's alot to be said about that. If her divorce attorney is half decent they can spin that shit in her favor. Every last one of them failed that horse.
