Who knew that actor Richard Gere was crazy about Appaloosas? Amanda Ronan tells the story of how his equestrian passions came to be. From Amanda: Best known for his roles in An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) and Pretty Woman (1990), Richard Gere has been a leading Hollywood hunk for over four decades including notable horseback roles in Sommersby (1993), First Knight (1995), I’m Not There (2007), and he at least chased a horse during Runaway Bride (1999). Gere felt intimidated by his Andalusian partner on the set of First Knight. “I’d seen the horse first on tape, being ridden by this extraordinary Spanish rider, using no bridle and with his hands clasped behind his back. Voice and leg commands only. Unbelievably sensitive. He was far too good for me, and it took quite awhile for me to ride him properly. That horse taught me a lot.”
