If the horse was valuable, insured, race horse, show horse, stud, or any other horse of value and you prove the rider was negligent, then you can most likely sue and prevail.
Remember though, you must have evidence such as witnesses, a contract or document of evidentiary value to proof your case in a court of law.
I understand your points, but you need to be able to proof your case in a court of law.
Now the defense side is the horse is an unpredictable animal and these things happen to an unbroken horse.
Expert witnesses are another great tool to use prior to trial and a veternarian report as well.
I would draft a demand letter to the trainer setting forth your demand and if he fails to comply see what response he provides to you.
If you feel you can prove your case, then go for it!
