Pretending to be on horse


Was this made in the 1930s? The most artificial horse riding scenes I have seen in years. The girl is obviously on a pretend horse. Why even bother to show this nonsense.

Yeah, the close-ups are so obvious they're fake. If you watch the DVD extras they show the mechanical horses. But Genevieve also has a stunt rider for the wider views of the real horses. She did learn to ride for a lot of the scenes but the ones on the track where she is galloping is a stunt rider.

Anyone also notice that the racing Wildfires have white on their faces, when there are no blinkers? None of the others do, just the ones they use to race with.
