[on
White Cloud, his horse in
Brave Eagle (1955)] They gave me a big horse . . . I've forgotten how many hands high he was. Huge horse. With all the paraphernalia you have to carry, bows and everything, I was always afraid I'd get impaled when I was thrown . . . spears and arrows and no saddle. And when that horse decides to get rid of you, you're gone! He was very temperamental. He would just stop and throw you and there was nothing to hang onto. I can remember over and over again being in mid-air, throwing stuff away, getting as far away as I could . . . not thinking about going through the air 'cause I knew I had to get to the ground. But I didn't want to land on an arrow or something like that. But the horse looked great on screen.
