The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
There are numerous uses of the "Flying W" stunt in which horses' front legs are tied with wire and and when the length ran out, animal and rider took a nasty spill, sometimes injuring or even killing one or the other.
