The black race horses during the race


Hi,

is there any information on the black horses which were used as "doubles" for Cass Ole and Fae Jur (the arabian stallions)?

It looks like the race horses are not arabs, but thoroughbred/quarter horses (look at the tail position etc, it's clearly visible).

On wikipedia it's written: "Two other stunt doubles were used for running, fighting and swimming scenes."

I'd like some information on the names of the race horses, to find more pictures, videos etc on the web, mainly of the black stallions, but also of the chestnut and white horse during the race.

Thanks so much for your replies!

The black/brown horse was definitely a thoroughbred and not an Arab. Sorry, I don't have any info about the other two of the top, but I remember reading something about them on a website. If I can find it again I'll post the link on here.
