I (as do most if not all of you) love the freisian from Ladyhawke, Widowmaker from Pecos Bill, the red maned horse in ladyhawke (does anyone know what breed that was?

Palominos won my heart way back then and I learned what a buckskin was... yah yahoo I am that old. But I was very young and what an impression horses made on me! Now I am enamered by Friesians in many movies but of course Ladyhawk's Goliath was outstanding. I have been face to face with a Stallion of the breed and if there ever was a horse that was as wise as the look in that stallion's eyes it was only described in the Lott books.Amazing animal... like meeting real totality!afdrtghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623825494740515787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813777829951446721.post-18951559685715070602009-06-11T14:29:40.275-07:002009-06-11T14:29:40.275-07:00Since this post is not too old, I'll comment w...Since this post is not too old, I'll comment while catching up. John Wayne rode a leopard spotted appy in a couple of movies. They show them on AMC on Saturdays all the time. In one scene the horse is supposed to have thrown him into a creek. But Wayne has just launched himself over the side. The little (compared to the Duke) horse is standing there so calm like, "Why big man falled off me? I not did nothing."Redsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473393390441394419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813777829951446721.post-43167612505711941912009-04-21T14:26:00.000-07:002009-04-21T14:26:00.000-07:00Oh, and one more!

Especially the giant bay draft horse the tracker Viking rode. GORGEOUS!<br /><br />PLEASE tell me you are joking! Accuracy?! One, Vikings didn't normally ride horses at ALL, choosing to travel by sea or using the horses as pack animals; two, if they did they wouldn't be freaking Draft horses, but Fjord or similar type horses; three, those paticular types of heavy horses didn't even EXIST in the time that the movie is set (around 900). The Norse culture had not even fully come into their height at this time. <br /><br />Not that weren't nice looking, but that whole movie is a joke when it comes to historical accuracy. Maximillian plate? Really? A Roman Gladiator helm? A Conquistador helm? Yikes. A positive potpourri of historical innacuracy. <br /><br />I have a minor in history with a focus in early world civilization. It was a fun movie, a better book, but not even remotely accurate.scaequestrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08725843325015172766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813777829951446721.post-35331428654725125822009-04-18T23:08:00.000-07:002009-04-18T23:08:00.000-07:00Rex Trailers' Gold Rush, a huge palamino(at least ...Rex Trailers' Gold Rush, a huge palamino(at least it seemed so when I was 5 or 6) put horses in my heart to stay, and Flicka (Wahana), from the TV show back in the late 50's.

Then there he was, galloping up to them. I was amazed by that horse.<br /><br />Then I got to meet Shadowfax, aka Blanco, at the Festival of Horses out here in AZ. I HAD to touch him. I had already had some great conversations with Tony, his owner's husband, and Rameus, his horse, but I hadn't gotten to touch Blanco. Tony told me about how Blanco was abused during the filming of LOTR, and you can tell. He is afraid of applause and sudden movements. After the evening show, I walked up to them and Cynthia asked everyone to please only pet him on his shoulder since he can be touchy about his head. Since there wre kids all around him, I just stood off to the side and waited. Blanco looked me right in the eye and reached out his nose TO ME, and wanted me to pet him. Cynthia had no problem with me petting his head then. I gave him tons of love and let him know how special he is, and I had a great conversation with Cynthia. I feel so sorry for him, but he's in a good, safe home now. He is now ridden in a bitless bridle and bareback.

Horrid waste of video. Agreed- the horses change color markings and tack upon entering the arena, circling before starting the course and going over the jumps. And just how many times has anyone heard an announcer comment on a riders ability (or lack of) while they are on the course? None here, unless they slipped up and forgot to mute the microphone for the PA.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603347619547454296noreply@blogger.com
