Maybe... ;~D I'm not sure he wasn't sent home along with the decision to use different horses... all we really know is that he 'went' home. I'm sure he was compensated.
I just didn't think the other poster had accurately described the horse suppliers mood over this loss. Rodeo horses like these are, unfortunately for them, not pets, they are a commodity, bought, sold, used, and used up.

Bears repeating and exactly right.
I checked out the other thread, was there more than one horse hurt? I never could figure it out. Even so, I'm still not gonna get my knickers in a twist over this, considering how many horses die and/or euthanized in the horseracing industry. I bet it's quite a few more than what dies in the movie making industry. The animal rights activists anger is misplaced.
