Del decides to sell Lean on Pete to the slaughterhouse eventually. Charley has just lost his father Ray (Fimmel) to illness, and not wanting to lose his equine friend either, he steals Lean on Pete and the two go on a cross-country journey, hoping to reach Charley's aunt.

 The Alleged Steed: Lean on Pete is getting on in years and is just not very good for horse racing. Nobody involved in the business has a good opinion of him, so it's only Charley who cares when Lean on Pete is about to be sent to the slaughterhouse.

 Death by Newbery Medal: Lean on Pete is hit by a truck and dies, much to Charley's grief. The end of the film shows he is able to move on, though.

 Double-Meaning Title: Lean on Pete is the name of the horse, but the title can also be understood as Charley having a friend (the said horse) to lean on during troubled times.
