Too Many Extraneous Horse Sounds....


Good grief! Anyone who has spent ANY time around horses knows that they don't grunt, groan, and make a noise EVERY time they are going uphill, misstep, etc.

There were w-a-a-y too many extraneous/superfluous equine utterances in this flick. Ridiculous!!!

Maybe the horses were all girls. They seem to need to make noise in order to verify their existence.

"They sucked his brains out!"

Funny I was just thinking the same thing! Even when people were in bed there were horse snorts!

I know your post was five years ago, but my step-mother, an accomplished horsewoman, used to say the same (among other things) whenever a Western movie was on TV. It was fun watching Westerns with her. Ah, memories...
