The horse does need to go, yes, though we ought not think of it as a problem at the moment. Remember, we're sort of on the same side, here - though we're supposed to 'humble it in competition', too. Offering it the prize trip, since it's non-negotiable, may be enough to stop it but we still have to win.
Perhaps allow it to be neck-and-neck, before soundly beating it. But in a show of good faith, we extend it a chance to go on the all-expenses paid trip as a second place prize, as we would rather take a different prize?

Something of that sort.

We'll have to work with the other side with their licenses on that one, though, since there's no second-place prize listed.
They may not allow that, so we just may need to add a companion pass clause or something. One extra ticket, one-way, for equine travel.
