Analysis
The acft lifted off early, stalled, dropped a wing and cartwheeled to a stop. The left main gear was sheared off in the impact. The pilot stated that during the takeoff from his own ranch airstrip a horse ran out on the rwy in front of the acft. He said there was not enough distance to abort the takeoff so he rotated early to try and fly over the horse, but the acft stalled and dropped back to the rwy.
