Recently, I lied to my trainer, telling her that I had ridden my pony and she was lame.  One the day in question, I had clean out my pony's hooves with a hoof pick, walked her on the driveway, and deduced from her behavior that she was in pain.  I guessed that she would begin limping sooner or later.  My trainer responded by lying to me that she had jogged my pony earlier that same day and found her sound.  The next day, the farrier came, checked my pony's hooves, jogged her, and decided she was definitely unsound. The vet took x-rays and confirmed a problem in her hooves.  So my question is: should I feel guilty about lying to my trainer? 

My story was consistent with the story told by the farrier and the vet.  Since it was not disproven, does that disqualify it from being a lie?  Could anyone have known that I was lying in the absence of this confession?
