The movie "The Horse Whisperer" has been on several times this week, and I noticed when the woman goes to the gates of the park and then later to LSH, it all appeared to be a mockup or something. The gates entrance was obviously not the real entrance, and the scene at the LSH fooled me the first time I saw it. In the movie it's a tall, skinny obelisk instead of the shorter, squattier one that exists. So I'm just wondering, since they were apparently in Montana, why wouldn't they film it at the real thing? Just think of all the free PR the park would've gotten. Anybody know the history there?

Warlord, yeah, I missed the LSH beng a set until someone brought it to my attention. The marker is clearly more of an obelisk. The markers looked darker, like from the fire. Seems like I'd read recently that the NPS wouldn't let them on the grounds, for whatever reason. Seems like a brain fart on someone's part. Think of all the free publicity they lost out on. Oh, well, buerocrats. Thanks for the input. quote:

Frank: This one of my favorite movies and I always watch the scene at the Custer Monument closely too. The shot out across the gravemarkers is much different than the ones up around the monument. The monument/fence area appears to be a set. The movie reviews don't seem too have much information about this though.

| It seems I've let a good picture get away. I must go to Blockbuster's and get the video. Warlord, I agree. bureaucracy is the nemesis of all good government. |

| It seems like if I remember, the movie was made during the time of Geral Baker's reign as Supt. -- there were a lot of things that did'nt make sense at that time....like closing the trail to Deep Ravine, etc. Evidentally, the producers really wanted to tie in to the battlefield to make the film more realistic, so they went out of their way to do the best they could. Yeah, that was a good movie, and ya know.....that style of training really works! I have used Pat Parellie's tapes and using these techniques on my horse, I found they do work.....It gets you inside the horses head ! |

| You can ride a horse? Thats it. My envy knows no bounds. When I was younger I often rode mules bare back. As I've grown older, much older, I've lost my nerve. I currently live in Oklahoma where the opportunity to ride horses are rampant. Still, my courage is lacking. Kudos to you sir! |

I have a Bay Mare that I purchased when she was six years old and rode a lot for a while. Have not been on her now for about 1 1/2 years. As much as I loved it, I think I have decided to ejoy her now as a pet. I was injured a few times over the years and the last time really left an impression on me. I just don't want to take any more chances, can't afford to. Since I quit riding, my parents have just about ruined her. They love her, but are afraid of her and she knows it very well. I went of the put a new halter on her today and she wanted to get testy with me, once she saw that I was not going to let her have her way she submitted. Oh well, I had a lot of good times, but I think my riding days are over now.Hee, Hee
By the way, I grew up at Fort Sill and learned to ride out in Cache ! |
