Horses on the set of Arthur at Old Westbury Gardens
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.
