Anybody know anything about the horses they used for the ponies in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey? I was just watching it this afternoon, and those are some of the shaggiest horses I have ever seen.
There seems to be different ones. "horses used in the hobbit movie" This story says 13 Icelandics (definitely hairy buggers) This story says Pinto Friesian (the ones Beorn loaned them) Also some stories about the animals that died where they were being housed, though this may not be the fault of the films/production company.
This sleepy fella is like me this morning… definitely need some coffee/Juice of Life to get going: Cheers, -CM-
Cool thanks. Yeah, I heard about the animals dying, I just looked up a story, and it sounds like that was more the fault of the farm they were at and not necessarily the movie's production team. Sure they probably could have found a better place to keep them, but a lot of places like that don't seem that bad when you first find them. One of the sanctuaries I follow, Ziggy's Refuge has started up a Youtube page, and started off with an Meet the Refuge Family video. And
