You've read about the seven key characteristics in order for a contract to be enforceable.

"West purchased a horse from Strauss. When West discovered that the horse had a leg injury, he got a driver to return the horse to Strauss, but Strauss refused to accept delivery. Not knowing what to do with the injured animal, the driver took the horse to Bailey. Bailey sent bills for the horse's care to West, who returned them with a note saying he did not own the horse. Bailey sued West for the expenses incurred in boarding the horse. West argued that when Bailey accepted the horse, he was aware of the controversy regarding the horse's ownership, so he could not reasonably expect to be compensated. Who wins, and why?

State your reasons why by going through the checklist of characteristics for a contract to be enforceable and why you chose one party over another that would win this lawsuit. Would Bailey win, or would it be West and why?
