Petitioner did not enter Temptation in any dressage
competitions after the 1983 Groton House Spring Show because he
was lame. Petitioner removed Temptation from Poulin's farm and
boarded him at the Groton House Farm in Hamilton, Massachusetts,
about 10 miles from her home. Petitioner agreed to give the
owner of the farm breedings to Temptation in exchange for
boarding.
3. Petitioner's Second Trip to Europe To Buy Horses
In 1983, petitioner returned to Sweden to buy mares to breed
to Temptation. Petitioner bought Labrette, a 1-1/2-year-old
filly. Petitioner was not required to quarantine Labrette
because she was less than 2 years old, thereby avoiding the need
to pay quarantine fees.
Petitioner also bought a 6-month old colt, Zenit, that she
boarded for 4 years at the Swedish national stud facility. Zenit
stayed at the Swedish national stud facility for 4 years so he
could be raised like Temptation. After Zenit trained for 4
years, petitioner was asked if he could be trained to compete for
the Swedish Olympic team. Petitioner declined and instead sold
Zenit to Gunnar Ostergard, a Danish trainer and his wife, a
Danish Olympic rider team member. Petitioner kept all breeding
rights to Zenit.
