 Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2004 9:28 am Post subject: Movie For the Horse Lovers |
 |
|
Watched Fist full of Dollars this weekend. Made in Spain. I think soem of the horses had Andalusian in them. Beautiful horses all through the movie.
Any of those Spaghetti Westerns had great horses in them.
Though my favorite movie horse is the Friesian Rutger Hauer rode in the movie Ladyhawk. I think his name in the movie was Goliath, very appropriate. Big tall badass horse.

Oh yes, Rutger Hauer's horse in Ladyhawk was impressive (same as the one that the other captain of the Bishop's guard rode).
I imagine all the horses (I think they were called chargers) that the Knights rode must have been that big to carry the weight of the aramors and appareil.
Andalusian bred with some bigger breed I think ...

Yes, Goliath (and his rider) was indeed impressive! Horses really are beautiful creatures, especially in action:)
I'm going to have to go back and think to have a movie to cite!

Here's a site on that breed:

Check out the writing close to the bottom. Is that Feanorian Script?!?!?

of the Mustangs myself, Something about being wild, and allowed to run around free like that...Makes me want to go watch Hidalgo...
Spanish Horses are indeed beautiful. I think that Arabians are pretty, but real Snobs. Gimme a cowboy horse any day! |

Inglor,
Yup, that was Goliath (real name Othello) I've met a relative of his - a sweetheart performing jousts and other amazing feats with the Seattle Knights. Fantastic creatures, Friesians. Tend toward sweet nature, incredible action, topline you can hang your hat on, hard feet, hearty body and soul, able to perform draft tasks, carriage, dressage...What's not to love?
Funny. When I saw the graphic next to your name I was going to ask you how you came to choose it. Now I know. Good taste.
Best! Ingole |

BTW, the owner of that site I posted is a Tolkien fanfic writer. there is a link at the bottom: Legends of Lorien, lots of slash.
Interesting
