Horses on the set of Arthur at Old Westbury Gardens

laurel — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 15:00:23 +0000

We worked on the set of Arthur for several days for a horse sequence involving the main actors, Jennifer Garner and Russell Brand riding double on Mr. T also known as Harbor Mist. Mr. T is famous for being the main horse in Dreamer, and he played Temple Grandin’s favorite horse, Chestnut in the HBO film Temple Grandin. Mr. T also played one of the Secretariat’s in the new Disney film, Secretariat co-starring Diane Lane and John Malkovich.

Actors can be excellent students since they are used to taking direction and listening to what is required to get the shot. Jenn is a natural and Russell is natually terrified of horses. Both worked through each scene with grace and ease.

Cari Teaching Dressage Clinic in NJ

I taught two sessions of students last week who learned what flexion exercises do for their horse in warm up. Each rider improved dramatically after working through a series of patterns to supple and balance the horse.

Some of the common mistakes people make is not enough contact, or too much contact. It takes hours of practice to develop an elastic feel to the bridle.
