I was rather hoping it was for food while they waited for rescue.
No, most wild horses have been killed.
I'm watching this movie as I text. In the first 10 minutes there is a hard and fast drive with the horses. I replayed three times and saw one or two horses go down and were trampled by the other horses. I would say yes, horses already injured if not killed or put down from this running scene. This movie was made in 2006, I "assumed" movie makers were better than this. Sad to say but I guess I "assumed" wrong.
1972

During the Battle of Hastings Williams men had horses and most of his front line where mounted knights. It is said that William had two or three horses killed out from under him during the battle. Since William needed a horse he would have commanded others off their horses to replace his.
There were only two casualties at the Battle of Fort Sumter at the beginning of the American Civil War. Both were Union Soldiers. One was killed during a planned 100-gun salute, and one was killed during evacuation. There were no Confederate casualties.
