That explains it well, and is actually close to my "guess".

So continue describing:

a) How are you accounting for things that will (eventually) get invoiced 
to each horse owner. In other words, you don't yet have all the things 
that will be going onto the invoice.

b) You are asking about multiple owners horse's on the bill to the 
farrier, but suppose there were only one?

c) Suppose you were dealing with a bill for a vendor that included items 
that were not all in the same expense account (fell into different 
expense categories in your CoA)

Folks, since I do not use the business features, I can't test this 
myself, so the question is about invoices in both directions. Now one 
side of those is a  debit to "receivables" or a credit to "payables". 
When the invoice is receivable, I assume you can split the credit side 
among different "income" accounts but could that also include a credit 
to an "expense" account? (that's the reduction of an expense). And of 
course in the other direction when an invoice is payable, the debit side 
can obviously be a split between accounts of type "expense" but would 
gnucash also allow account type "income" << that's a reduction of income >>
