DeJarnette-Haj{\\l}asz-Lukyanenko-Tyson constructed horizontal maps from $S^k$ to $\\H^n$ which factor through $n$-spheres and showed that these maps have no smooth horizontal fillings. In this paper, however, we build on an example of Kaufman to show that these maps sometimes have Lipschitz fillings. This shows that the Lipschitz and the smooth horizontal homotopy groups of a space may differ.
