Depends if you think rodeo is inherently abusive; opinions vary.

Brady’s head was injured in an accident right before the events of the film, and his wound is seen graphically multiple times, as well as descriptions of the brain damage he has

A character is shown with a cast on his arm. We don't see the arm get broken.

Brady has a couple of seizures, although they aren’t the tonic-clonic seizures you usually see in films. His hand frequently cramps up, and on two occasions he vomits and passes out

Not at all. Brady realises that riding at the rodeo will likely cause a seizure, and he realises that his family is what is important to him. He comes to terms with his disability and walks away from the rodeo to be embraced by his dad. Then he visits Lane and has a cathartic conversation with him

Mostly at the very beginning, when we see his head wound. One other time, when the horse is injured, the bloody leg is shown.
