Bruce Springsteen has settled a lawsuit after galloping away from an offer to buy a horse for his daughter.

Jose Lambiet of the PALM BEACH POST reports that the rock legend paid $200,000 to Florida horseman Todd Minikus, after reneging on a deal to buy a steed for Bruce’s 15-year-old daughter, Jennifer.

Minikus took Springsteen to court when the Boss didn’t go through with the $850,000 purchase of 10-year-old gelding Pavarotti. But the Springsteens apparently were put off by the horse’s poor showing at the Pan American Games, and decided Pavarotti wasn’t going to help Jennifer’s fledgling equestrian career.

A source close to the settlement said that the Boss “doesn’t have much of a stomach for a legal battle. He’s not a fighter.”

In other words, he was Born To Run.
