Still my favorite story from the Lord of the Rings set: Viggo Mortensen bonded so much with the horse he rode in the movies that after filming was over he bought it from its owner. If that doesn’t warm your heart I don’t know what could.
don’t forget that he also bought arwen’s horse for her stunt rider when she couldn’t afford it awww
also sort of relevant viggo also bought the horse that costarred with him in the movie hidalgo and subsequently took the horse (tj) with him to the red carpet premier.
Also most of the Riders of Rohan are actually women because when they put out that call mostly women showed up with their horses and the costume team just stuck beards on them.
if this isn’t the best post i don’t
So you’re saying the entire Rohan army could have killed the Witch-King of Angmar.
Witch King: No living man can kill me!
several thousand riders of Rohan: *rip their fake beards off*
I’m not gonna lie this horse just might be the most majestic creature I’ve ever seen
This beautiful idiot stands there worrying about it until mom encourages him to move, then he trots out a bit, says “wow no?”, heads BACK to mom, becomes Intensely Concerned by the shadow of the fence, and then then as the video ends he is Worrying about why the ground looks wrong, because it very much does look wrong, and he’s not thrilled about it. He’s not precisely scared, but he’s not relaxed enough to be actually sassy; if I had to pick a word it would be annoyed, because he would LIKE to run around like a full on fool, but the GROUND is NOT RIGHT and that is a PROBLEM.
MOTHER WHY IS THE GROUND INCORRECT? That’s why he keeps coming back to the camerawoman, she should be doing something about this.
To sum up, 12/10 horses are beautiful, and idiots, and I love them, and mom needs to fix the ground so a boy can have a gallop.
(A horse has some color vision, and very poor depth perception, and the contrast created by sun on snow means that the shadows look like black holes while the ground itself probably has a freaky blank void thing happening.)
