Legal advice on business dealing?

A few months ago I posted asking a question about dealing with a business. I am now having another problem with the same business.





For background, this horse breeding farm was running a sale and offering 2 breedings for $750 when the regular price for one was $650. I bought the 2 and paid $375 as a booking fee. There were issues that came up later on for me and I was going to sell the breedings. I found out that they don't allow that so I kept them and was working on coming up with the other 1/2 of the money for the breedings so I could bring my mare (other breeding to be used next spring). I said I thought I could do June. That didn't happen since we had more financial troubles that month. So today I get an email from the business owner saying this:





We are going to assume this is null and void. We have not heard from you nor did you contact us about bringing your mare last month as promised.





So I emailed back saying that I was still planning on bringing my mare but had had more money issues and was still working on getting the stud fee together. He had told me before that they breed until September first so I was planning on bringing her next month. I told him this. I haven't heard back but I am wondering if he can just cancel this and not refund my money? I am really worried because we really can't afford to be out this money and my husband is already beyond furious at me for this whole mess. So can he just decide not to breed my mares and then keep my money? There was never a contract signed on this. If he decides to try, do I have any recourse in court?

small claims court..contact your local municipality. You may need to consider having someone to advise you before taking that step.
