Description
Always my favorite part in the western movies. Just how well does one choose a horse when everything may depend on it, and, because I like happy endings, I let this cowboy chose the right horse. If only I knew his secret (or had his luck) when I go to the horse races!

Actor Ben Johnson always seemed to have a knack for picking a fast horse. I remember his fantastic riding sequences very well. I think my love for western movies stems in large part, to images such as this. Very evocative. L/F
