If statements error

SoccerMomJanet (1)
I continue to get the C2181 error from VS. The message is "illegal else without if" My stepfather, a software engineer, and I cannot seem to find the issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

My compiler gives no errors and just one warning - 
[Warning] unused variable 'weight'


Are you sure the error message comes from this code? If so, at which line number?

Works fine for me except the warning for unused variable 'weight'. But I think there are a few issues:

probably line 28 is incorrect, should be
cin >> (typeHorse);

line 51, 69 and 87 have similar problems. For example, line 51 should be
if (weightHorse >= 840 && weightHorse <= 1200)
Now it would check if the variable is in the range 840 and 1200 (including both).
