Stage blood was used to give the effect of an actual operation. Several trainers and vets in surgical costumes were on hand to keep the animal in a comfortable position. The trainer was able to get the horse to lay down by gently lifting his front legs and leaning him onto the table which was padded. This scene was shot in an actual equine hospital. The animal is in surgery, wrapped in surgical drapes, surrounded by medical personnel and in the midst of the difficult operation. After the criminals are arrested, we see Two Bits at the Equine Medical Center being operated on for the removal of the bullet. In this scene, as in several other scenes, the pony merely laid down at his trainer’s commands. The appearance of a wound was created using stage blood. The pony is not seen being shot, but is seen lying on his side with a bullet wound in his chest. The car was moving very slowly when the pony appears on the bridge and was never close to the animal. To get the pony to rear up, the trainer used verbal and hand commands. We see the wounded pony lying down being stroked by Tyler. He inadvertently hits him and runs away just as the sheriff and his men appear on the scene. The frustrated criminal gets out of the car and fires a gun in the direction of Two Bits in order to make him move. Toward the end of the film, Two Bits stops the kidnappers on a bridge by rearing up in front of their car. The speed of the car was increased in post production. A special effects mirror was used on the vehicle to make it appear as though the car was very close to the horse, when in reality, the car was never closer than four feet from any animal. The horses were not actually present when the car crashed through the fence. The two horses were placed in the field by their trainers who used hand signals to get the horses to both stay in place and to react. This memory dream wakes Two Bits from his sleep.
PEPPER AND TWO BITS DRIVER
She and her little pony are grazing in a field when a drunken driver crashes through the fence and hits the mare. In one dream sequence, we see a flashback of the accident that killed the mother of Two Bits. Although the horses are seen talking to each other through the use of voice overs, no attempt was made to make the mouths of the horses move in synchronization with the dialogue. Horses are seen throughout the film along with background animals which include cows, pigs, an owl, a cat, a raccoon and an opossum.
