Facts

An owner of land discovered that those parties who owned a nearby stable next to his land that he was going to develop might, in fact, own an easement across the land. Shortly after discovering this, the owners, Kruvant (P) demanded that the stable either pay rent or stop using their lot. The stable refused both demands. P then sued D. D operated a boarding stable for approximately 100 horses. P sued to terminate D’s usage of the bridle trail which extended 800 feet diagonally across P’s lot to an oversized culvert construct by the County to permit horses to pass from the bridle trail and into a reservation where there were several miles of bridle trails and to collect money damages. D counter-claimed and looked for the court to declare that it has either title to the trail and certain other areas under the doctrine of adverse possession or a prescriptive easement for those same areas.
