AM  Own the horse, but not the training???! This actually
happened awhile back,but I am still curious about it.  I bought
a horse from a lady that had been professionally trained from a
big time trainer. She was a nice horse,but long story short we
didnt click and i decided to sell her.  In her ad on a few horse
selling websites I listed what she had trained in and by whom.
The original owner wrote me stating I had no right to say
what/where she was trained and that "i had bought the horse,but
not the training" and that she had spent several thousand
dollars on it and it wasnt "my right" to claim it.  I disagreed
and did not change my ads.  A little while later I recieved
emails/phone calls from the said trainer threatening to sue if I
said where she had been trained.  Now the horse was not super
well trained and had several kinks to worth through. But she
wasnt so bad he be would e
