So, I'm bored and really want some good horse chase scenes to watch! (Random, but I love them)
Can anyone recommend any?

My favourite so far is from a Korean movie, The Good, The Bad, The Weird.

I can never enjoy movie scenes with horsey action shots. I always worry how many got injured or about terribly fitting tack, horses getting yanked in the mouths etc. Sorry, I'm a kill joy I know.
 
I don't mind more recent ones, since the horses have much better welfair. I can barely stand to watch the old Western ones, with the woah ropes and trip wires etc!
 
Arwen and Frodo vs the Black riders to Rivendell in the Lord of the Rings.

I also love one of the scenes in Sleepy Hollow (which is otherwise pretty rubbish :D) which has some fabulous shots in the dark in the wood.
 
That's bloody genius. I've always wanted to ride my horse round a restaurant (no idea why!)... Loving the water complex, and taking it in the lift :p

Wouldn't worry too much about it cantering on the road - as my vet says - at least it's flat, it's better than riding on hard uneven grass ;) Obviously you wouldn't do it as a matter of course, but if you really have to chase a criminal on a motorbike through a hotel... :D
 
Hehe I suppose! A very unusual way of catching a criminal!
Very brave and well trained horse!

Oh! I forgot about Hidalgo, but that movie is like one giant horse chase...and Spirit, if that counts :P Since it's a cartoon
 
I wonder if Ruby the welsh pony was auditioning for the London production of True Lies with her stint in the lift?
 
Good old Arnie , always so courteous to those around him , even in the lift:D

The horse is just like PI , he does a good line in answering back.:rolleyes:
 
Love the woman's face in the lift when it whips her with it's tail! :D was cringing when it got on the roof though!

Also love spirit, always makes me cry at the end :o
 
I love the fact that when you see the horse's face in the lift, after all it's just done its nostrils are relaxed, it's not even blowing. :D:D
 
That scene in Indiana Jones is pretty good too! I didn't know Harrison could ride so well ^^

Spirit is one of my favourite movies! The music the amazing! I listen to it every chance I get :D

If you watch it then you will see that it is very clever photography!
No horse gallops down a really steep hill as this one is. They sit back on their hocks and the back legs sort of drag and the fronts are braced more.

Never do you see the true angle of the hill with horse and rider, only either the front of the horse and the rider leaning back.
I later heard that they angled all the trees to make it look steep where he was really galloping.

Still, it was a good chase!
