As a child I always loved watching such movies which contained horses and horse riding.  One movie that truly fascinated me as a child was “McKenna’s Gold “, where the two famous heroes and heart throbs of their times, Omar Sharif and Gregory Peck are always on the horses, almost throughout the length of the movie.

I must have watched that movie at least half a dozen times just to observe the ease with which the heroes mount and dismount the horses, that too with bare minimum horse equipment.  It looked as if they had been trained well in horse riding prior to shooting of the movie to make it look authentic.  They were totally at home atop the horses on the tough terrains and hill tracks.  Many movies with horses have been made, but this movie was unique.
