A buy back clause doesn't mean you have to buy the horse back. It just means the new owner is supposed to give you the first chance to purchase it if they sell it. You are free to decline. If your buy back was to make sure it didn't wind up being sold on CL for $200, but the $500 horse you sold has become worth $3000 (yeah, right) then it's probably not really in any danger of falling into the hands of Bad Men and you can decline to buy it back. Or, you could, if you wanted, make you first right of refusal contingent on the horse selling for less than a given amount. So if you sell a young prospect for $7000, and are willing to buy it back if they sell it for less than, say, $5000, then you can have it say that. But if they sell the horse for $15000, because it's just that good, you'd never get a call. But again, in that situation the horse is probably not in any danger of falling into the possession of people who aren't going to take care of it.
