Henry Cavill reunites with Geralt's horse, Roach, in new training images from TheWitcher season 3.
Recently released training images from The Witcher season 3 show star Henry Cavill reunited with the titular character's horse, Roach. The fantasy series is one of Netflix's most successful properties with its second season being one of the most watched in the streaming giant's history.
During episode 6,"Dear Friend," a flying creature called the Chernobog attacks Geralt and Ciri in the woods outside of the Witcher stronghold of Kaer Morhen. As a result of Ciri's powerful screams, the princess unwittingly released the beast from the magical Cintran monolith. During the attack, Geralt's loyal horse Roach is mortally wounded by the Chernobog and is later put out of her misery.
As with most medieval fantasy, horses are generally used as the most common mode of travel for characters. It is imperative that actors know how to ride, for the purpose of believability, but also for reasons of safety. Henry Cavill originally chose the horse that previously played Roach in the series. Their bond was important, not only to replicate the quirky relationship Geralt and Roach had in the source material, but also to bolster trust between the two to avoid any serious incidents.
Although season 2 saw the death of Geralt's original Roach, the promise of seeing Geralt's relationship build with a new horse in The Witcher season 3 will be exciting. There have been many excellent human and animal stories brought to the screen that have shown the powerful bond people can have with animals, such as Tom Hanks and his crime-solving canine partner in Turner & Hooch , as well as a young Scarlett Johansson and her traumatized horse in The Horse Whisperer .
