The lance of the picador is to keep the bull from goring the horse.

The bull charged, and of course the horse knew nothing till the picador failed and the horse found himself impaled on the bull's horns from beneath.

The bull did not reach the bleachers and fell into the alley where picadors, assistants and other bullfighters were watching the bullfight.
