Detailed Animal Action Report
Blink and You’ll Miss ‘Em
Providing some crowd control outside of the hospital are several mounted policemen in the background. Two Gelding horses were used for this scene, and their mild action consisted of walking back and forth on the secured street and standing on grass underneath a nearby tree. The horses were unphased by the crowd of actors and spent their downtime between takes resting on the grass.
