IMO There is far more evidence to support the horse fall than the stage leap. Booth's claim is hearsay supported by no witnesses nor physical evidence - just a bunch of 'could have happeneds'. The only thing it has is the tradition of how the story was told.

From the statements of witnesses even Laurie is convinced the horse fell somewhere along the road. She just thinks that has nothing to do with Booth's leg being pinned underneath and broken. I mean what are the odds of that happening?

If you go to bed on a clear night and wake up to see snow on the ground your logical conclusion is that it snowed overnight. However, there are other scenarios (ex: trucks from Hollywood blew the snow from trucks to film a scene) but none are as likely as the weather.

Don't be the person who claims that Booth was snatched from the stage by a lasso from his friends. The leg was broken only one way and the stronger evidence is by a falling horse.
