Rich Strike's Outrider

[casp0555]

I'm not condoning or vice versa but Rich Strike took a chunk out of the outrider's horse's neck (photos on Twitter) and I saw Rich Strike trying to bite that horse several times and got close to the outrider's hand a few times.
I have been bitten on the shoulder blade by a gelding when I was much younger and know that they can take a finger off or cause great damage...and no, he could not let that horse loose or that itself could have been disastrous.
Like DaHoss stated, optics did not look good but what else could he do until he got a longer lead hooked on?
