, a company based in Buckinghamshire, England, which provides horses to an array of film and TV projects including “Wonder Woman” and “The Crown.”Their father, originally from France, fell in love with horses as a young man and once worked at the Lido, a Paris nightclub famed for its jousting horses. He eventually moved to England and, in the 1960s, started his own company.
“That was the first real time we could bring a hundred horses out and really just go to town,” she says. “It was incredible working with Kit because he’s so great on a horse. Being able to have a real actor on the horse galloping toward the army was exciting. I hate watching scenes with doubles.” Another favorite is the loot train attack sequence in last season’s harrowing “The Spoils of War,” a.k.a. the episode that featured Daenerys riding her dragon in battle and a horde of Dothraki slinging arrows on horseback.
But even relatively simple scenes require tremendous preparation. Just like actors, horses need to wear the right gear and often require makeup — if they need to look bloody or dirty, or as sometimes happens with stunts, one horse doubles for another.
