If someone else drops a slip, you have a chance of getting him back. Meaning, if there is only one other claim in, you are 50/50 that your guy gets him and you get him back.

It is not legal anywhere -- at least not anywhere that I am aware of.

also when doing this and getting the horse back i believe you cannot run back for atleast a month no matter what the tag since the horse was claimed and then ownership was transferred from the person(people) who claimed the horse
