A Fired Horse Barn Employee Sues His Former Employer for Discrimination
A former employee of a North County equestrian center has filed a lawsuit alleging he was terminated after he was hospitalized for chest pains.
In the lawsuit filed on June 25 in Clark County Superior Court, Serafin Larios Mendoza alleges he lost his job from FarmHill Equestrian Center in a manner against state law. He is seeking general damages for an unspecified amount, as well as front and back pay consistent with the alleged offenses.
According to the complaint, Larios Mendoza was hired in March 2019 to care for horses at FarmHill. Between late 2020 or early 2021, FarmHill’s previous owner, Barbara Hort, negotiated a sale of the business to Kuiper Equestrian and its owner, Mikaela Kuiper, according to the filing.
