Unless the horse has particularly dangerous propensities that you hid from the buyer you have no liability. Plus, the buyer physically had possession of the horse and an opportunity to observe and learn about the animal so probably would have equal knowledge as you about the horse. If the buyer no longer wants the horse because of what happened and you want to force her to pay the full amount you legally can do so. Otherwise, if you want the horse back you can make a deal for whatever you are willing to do that she will agree to. Either way you have no legal obligation for her medical copays. An interesting legal question is present. If the buyer stops paying can you repossess the horse? That would depend on what the paperwork, if any, says about remedies for default. As a practical matter you may want to make a deal with her as she could stop paying you and your only remedy might be to sue her for the unpaid amount. She could sell the horse to someone else and keep the money, stiffing you.

If your husband, or someone on his behalf, filed the SR-1 with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), then you can find out if the parents and/or the driver of the other vehicle had liability insurance. You need to file form SR-19 with DMV. There is a $20 fee. After DMV processes the request, you will be advised if there is insurance. There are also services which locate the existence or non-existence of insurance.
