HORSE RENTALS

Mechanical Horse

The mechanical horse emulates a horse’s gait through rotating hip movement and a rocking motion that transitions into the neck and head. Remote control servos activate eye blinks, brow expression and ear movement, giving the horse life-like facial features for close-up capability. Each horse requires three puppeteers to perform properly and is most often rigged onto a camera car or process trailer, allowing the horse and rider to seamlessly integrate into the natural scenery and gallop alongside other real horses.

Flipping Horse

Full-Sized Static Horse with Black Skin and 63" Withers

On the set of 300

The flipping horse travels on a carriage that runs on a 24’ track. There are two pneumatic cylinders charged with either a compressor or nitrogen tank. The effect causes the full-sized horse bust to nose dive, flip, or be thrown varied distances into the ground. The horse is also rideable, allowing a stunt rider to also be thrown.
