But this may well be the case - acute laminitis brought on by a change
in management. This *is* her responsibility.

It would be the same if he had been purchased outright, rather than
taken on trial. **** happens.

Sure. But it's a nightmare we all face, a situation we can all be
in. It's part of having horses.
Not that anyone's asking, but I vote for doing the right thing for the
horse. To do otherwise is, IMO, cruel. Were he here, the vet would
have been called first, and the broker kept informed. I would assume
the horse was now mine, and I'd suck it up and deal.
