Looking for a couple of horses was the next step and a big consideration. We need 1 to be trained to lie down still and stay lay down with the actors while the production carries on around. That is not an easy thing for the horse and something we are mindful of to avoid any injury’s.
Max has been out visiting a number of equestrian centres to find not only the right looking horse for the period but one that is trained in film and can be counted on to play its role as well as the actors! In addition we also need to have Charlie (and stunt double) trained in bare back riding for some of the scenes to come.
