Valitar horse show promoter arrested for solicitation of murder

2012 Del Mar production never got off the ground

The co-producer of a failed $10 million horse show that left performers high and dry over a decade ago was arrested last week in Solana Beach for solicitation of murder.

Tatyana Remley, 42, was out on bail or "own recognizance" for a July felony - carrying a loaded and prohibited firearm - when she was arrested Wednesday at a Starbucks on Lomas Santa Fe Dr.

The former model and equestrienne stirred controversy in Del Mar in 2012 when she and her husband Mark Remley promoted a dazzling but doomed horse and human acrobatics show. Valitar, known for its special effects and pulsating, rock-style musical score, kicked off a national tour with a promised 50-show run at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Only the $200 tickets didn't fly. After just four performances, the Remleys cancelled the show, leaving behind a 45,000-square-foot Big Top tent in the fairgrounds parking lot that would later be auctioned. Vendors went unpaid. Performers from all over the globe were stranded with their horses.

Soon after, Mark Remley's company Equustria Development filed for bankruptcy, and was sued for millions by unpaid vendors and former employees. The scandal, however, didn't involve jail time.

And the cast of players wasn't a mystery.

According to the arrest report, Tatyana Remley is now incarcerated at the Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility in Santee, awaiting a court date. Though eligible for release, court approval is required.

In California, soliciting someone to commit a murder is a felony that carries a sentence of 3, 6, or 9 years in a California state prison, and fine up to $10,000. The crime includes "the intent to have someone else commit a crime and an act committed in furtherance of convincing another person to commit a crime."

The other charge – committing a felony while on bail or O.R. release – adds two more years to the sentence.

Solicitation to commit a crime is normally proven from testimony of at least two witnesses, or one witness and corroborating evidence, according to a legal website.

"These witnesses are typically the individuals who were solicited to commit the crime."
