California equestrian admits to placing $2 million hit on husband, receives less than 4 years in prison

A high-maintenance equestrian previously known for being involved in a multimillion-dollar horse show in San Diego recently admitted to putting a $2 million hit on her husband. She has been sentenced to less than four years in prison for the crime, according to KNSD.

Tatyana Remley, 43, pleaded guilty to solicitation to commit murder in connection with an attempt to get a mutual friend to murder her husband, Mark Remley. The verdict was determined in Vista Superior Court on Thursday.

Tatyana also pleaded guilty to being in possession of a firearm that was not registered to her. While she was charged with a second gun-related crime, it was eventually dismissed as part of a plea deal, according to the report.

As a result, she was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison.

Tatyana was arrested in August as part of a sting operation at a Solana Beach Starbucks, per the New York Post. The arrest occurred just one month after her husband, Mark, discovered that she had tried to get a mutual friend to murder him for $2 million.

Mark soon went to the authorities to report what he had learned from the same friend his wife had tried to bribe. He went on to say that she had burned his house down just days before arranging the hit.

The debacle played out following the couple's 12-year marriage, during which they built a multimillion-dollar equestrian acrobatics show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego named Valitar.

However, the show was soon canceled, leaving the performers and crew members with nothing. The couple filed for divorce, and reports have suggested that the two enacted violence against one another. The Post noted that the couple tried to rekindle their relationship a number of times over the years.

In May, Tatyana accused her husband of three separate acts of violence: putting a gun to her head; chasing her around the house with a knife; and firing a gun in their home during an argument.

She also claimed she was sexually assaulted at gunpoint while her husband watched. But it is unclear who the alleged perpetrators are in the incident.

Leading up to Tatyana's imprisonment, the couple enjoyed a lavish life, driving sports cars, owning numerous homes, and even taking care of exotic pets.
