After I broke my leg I had to go back and do one of the remakes of 'The Magnificent Seven' and ended up on a horse that pitched me off and broke my leg again... I rode horses pretty well. I just didn't like doing it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was at the pinnacle of my career one day and the next day I was put out to pasture. I felt like a race horse with a broken leg.
I had to ride a horse once. In 'King Arthur.' I said I could ride, but I had to call for lessons on the day the deal was signed. I started out on this little chunky thing and slowly moved up. It was months of work.
I rode horses since I was a kid.
I had to relearn how to ride a horse like an ape. I had to change how I jumped off and how I gripped them with my thighs and distribute my weight differently.
I directed a movie back in the '90s which had calf roping in it, and I got into it quite a bit back then.
It felt so good and natural, I should have been on a horse my entire life. I fell in love with riding.
Yeah, I'd been around horses most of my life.
One time they traded me for seven horses. Seven stunt horses.
It was a fun film. I had a great time doing it. I was looking for a role just like that for my first movie role. I didn't want to have a starring role, because I wanted a chance to learn. I didn't want the whole thing riding on me.
I love horseback riding. I still do it.
