If the act wasn't completely covered by the BBFC there would have been legal challenges from every distributor & filmmaker every time a film was cut under the Animals Act. However there haven't been.
In fact the only director who withdrew his film from UK video release was John Milius over the requested cuts to the video of
The Wind And The Lion. Strangely he didn't protest or take legal proceedings over the cuts to
Conan The Barbarian (most of which were initially also to horsefalls).
