Petitioner sold Temptress for $4,000 on November 14, 1990,
Mandarin for $6,500 on December 1, 1990, and another horse for
$4,000 in 1990.
2. Raneshausen
Raneshausen used petitioner's facility and stayed for free
at petitioners' home at Lake Worth during the 1989-90 show
season. Petitioner did not have enough room to board
Raneshausen's horses and found a rental stable for them.
Raneshausen trained Labrette at no cost. Petitioner believed
that it was very prestigious to have Raneshausen at petitioners'
residence and that petitioner would be more likely to succeed in
competitions and breeding of dressage horses if she associated
with people who are prominent in the dressage horse field.
3. Darren Chiacchia
Darren Chiacchia (Chiacchia), a 3-day event rider, also
stayed at petitioners' home at Lake Worth during the 1989-90 show
season. In 1989, Chiacchia was 26 years old and had won many
competitions. Chiacchia came to petitioners' home a month before
the 1989-90 competitions began and discussed riding and
competitions with petitioner. Chiacchia asked petitioner if he
could ride Labrette.
Chiacchia and petitioner visited two Olympic trainers who
had won gold medals, Joe Farges (Farges) and Conrad Holmfeld
(Holmfeld). Farges and Holmfeld evaluated Labrette. Based on
that evaluation, petitioner decided that Chiacchia would campaign
Labrette with Raneshausen. They did so the entire season.
