The Ford Ranch, several miles outside of Sante Fe is the setting for the new film “Appaloosa” (2008) starring Ed Harris, Viggo Mortenson and Rene Zellwiger. I have just returned from the set where they were shooting the final scenes before wrapping the film. Final edits will take place in the next months for a release date around March 2008. Being a western means there are many horses in nearly every scene. Here is Cash, the 17 hand Quarter Horse Stallion trained by Rex Peterson who plays Viggo’s mount in the film. Cash was extremely well behaved considering this is his first experience on the set with all kinds of crazy things going on around him. Here he is in the common stance of “hurry up and wait” the mantra on all film sets.
