California Father Sues Dutch Horse Trader Over Sale of Lame $475K Horse
Gary Kamins, a California resident, has filed a lawsuit against Dutch horse trader Alan Waldman, alleging that Waldman knowingly sold him a lame horse for $475,000. Kamins purchased the horse, named Grodino, for his daughter Gabby to compete in equestrian events. However, upon arrival in the U.S., the horse exhibited signs of distress and was diagnosed with a spinal condition. Kamins claims Waldman refused to refund the purchase price and that the horse never recovered despite intensive veterinary care. The lawsuit also mentions undisclosed commissions paid to Gabby's trainer, Charmaine Levinson.
