Case No. 5D2024-0904 LT Case No. 2023-SC-001148

MAKAR, J., dissenting.

In this non-jury action, the record evidence establishes an enforceable written contract involving two horses that Moniqua Barger gave to Melissa Candow-Yost conditioned on their return if the latter no longer wanted them. Candow-Yost euthanized one of the horses without Barger’s consent, precipitating a breach of contract action. The trial court concluded that the contract was unenforceable, which was error. As such, reversal is warranted so that Barger can seek to enforce the agreement with Candow-Yost.
