Many years ago, I was told that the horses were bought from ranch sales and stockyard sales for use in the movies so the horses weren't pets and some of them were bought to be used as stunt horses. If I had a choice between NASCAR wrecks and these old movies, I'd rather watch the horse wrecks. I learned to ride rental horses and some of them made me work to run them. So the horse stunts are much more personal. And no, I don't care, the horses were doing their job.
Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Old Western Movies though. 👍👌👏

Thanks Again Though.
The film's © indicated MCMXXXII, which is '1932'. I know that's splitting hairs, but 1932 makes it one year closer to the advent of sound, which was quite a transitional period for movies in many way. It's interesting to see Junior Coghlan in an earlier film, having made the change from silents to talkies. He authored a book published by McFarland that that is one of the most enjoyable 'insider' books I've read.
Kind of make you wonder how many horses where injured making these films
No it doesn't.

I don't think those horses care anymore.
