By the way, there is a reason I don't want the horse to go back to her. She does not have the money to care for him properly--she has less money than I do. When I got him, he had not had certain important maintenance care done in way too long. Her family had been urging her to get rid of him for a year before she finally did. I've been in contact with her daughter, who is backing me up. It is best for the horse AND the old owner, as well as for me, if I sell him to someone who can afford him. In addition to the lien for the bills owed, that is a major factor in my not wanting to honor this clause. I know that has nothing to do with legalities, but I don't want you to think I'm just being selfish.
She doesn't need money to care for him properly for very long. She'll simply re-sell the horse after you fulfill the terms of the contract.
