"An alleged first hand account from another message board FWIW:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434215/board/thread/18446895"
According to the unverified poster:
"Four unbroken horses were in the ring, the rodeo game was to see who could saddle and ride one first. Teams of 2 cowboys go after one horse, one to catch it and hold it's lead, the other to saddle it and hop on. With the horse involved in the accident, it was running in the rodeo ring, with it's lead hanging. It stepped on it's own lead and jerked it's head up, as a result the horse broke it's own neck."
This defies common sense, as I stated earlier. If this is the true account the equine's death, as I stated before was due to reckless disregard for the animal's safety.
