Answer:

A gift, once given, typically transfers ownership to the recipient. In this case, the horse was a gift from your ex-fiance, which means you likely own it. However, the situation may require legal interpretation, and a court could examine the circumstances of the gift to determine ownership. If you believe the horse was a present gift, you may have a strong claim to take her with you.
