PROOF! I knew you didn’t need to kill horses if it broke its leg.

depends on how much money you have and how important the horse is
horse biology does not tend itself to fixing broken legs - wild horses simply do not survive broken legs and even with modern medical care the leg never really gets fixed - it will heal a bit and then break again in the same spot
but!
in the past ten years or so weve developed some treatments for minor fractures that work pretty good

I think I saw one of those treatments in action once! Her name was Eight Bells, right?

The horse does not move AT ALL in one of the longer shots of Ep.6 … I guess somebody was supposed to have done some CG ear flicks or tail twitches but didn’t get around to it. Maybe they just thought nobody would notice? But obviously it was just the stunt horse.

How much horsepower does it have?

At least one, I suppose.

This is the stuff that makes me want to get into film to be able to build these sorts of rigs. Also maybe acting.

I'll never see another Western without this in the back of my mind.

Every time I hear about actors and Westerns I think about the great Jack Palance and the events around his scary character in Shane: (basically he could barely ride and the ways they got around it)

So weird to recognize exactly where that photo was taken

I was there today! It was wild when they were filming this. Told us we couldn’t take photos and had to walk around the property to get to certain buildings. There were props outside the buildings for a few days afterwards too. My friend got to interview Pedro accidentally. He just wanted to talk to some of the production team and Pedro ended up coming to talk to him. He showed me some photos he snagged of the inside of the main building which was the hospital scene in last episode. I was shocked at how dirty it was in the photos and then going back after the weekend being impressed at how clean and normal it looked inside. Very cool stuff

Wow how far in the future does this show take place to have cyborg horses like this?

They named it after a bulk carrier (one of the largest ships in the world at the time) that sank off the coast of Japan in a typhoon. It was carrying almost 100 thousand tons of iron ore from the mine I worked at for 10 years.
Or maybe just a place in England.
Don't mind me.

Is this really less expensive than using a real horse?
