Forgot to mention owners are responsible for paying the bills. They are seldom to never in the barn on a day to day or even weekly basis. They usually do their horse business over the phone. It is the trainer who is responsible for seeing that the horse's needs are provided, including vet care. Trainers get day pay and % of purse. It is very possible that misdeeds occur without owner knowledge. But for owners who are willing to do anything to win, influencing a trainer, or vet, to employ 'unusual methods' is another thing entirely. In any case of infraction the trainer is always at fault even if he attempts to shift the blame to the vet.
