The Horse Whisperer
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Infobox Film The Horse Whisperer (1998) is a Robert Redford movie based on the 1995 novel by Nicholas Evans about a talented horse trainer (Robert Redford) hired to help an injured teenager (played by Scarlett Johansson) and her horse recuperate. He is hired by the girl's mother, Annie MacLean (played by Kristin Scott Thomas) who falls in love with him when she visits his Montana ranch.
The main character is modeled after "Buck Brannaman", who also doubled for Robert Redford in the film and served as a consultant to Redford.
The therapy administered to the traumatized horse is faithful to John Solomon Rarey's description of his own methods, although it differs in small details. On his website, Nicholas Evans posted, "I spent many weeks traveling across the West and met three amazing horsemen: Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman." "Tom Dorrance" and "Ray Hunt" would have already been elderly at that time, whereas Brannaman was still a relatively young man.
