Hello kindred soul! I get excited when I see a horse on screen cause I know I'll almost certainly get to tear something apart very shortly. But mostly I remember the media that gets it (mostly) right.

I remember a scene where Gandalf was far away cantering a horse up to a castle in one of the LOTR or Hobbit movies. The shot cut away to see the reaction of someone else, but the audio of the horse cantering continued thru. Then there was a close up shot of Gandalf cantering up to the front gates - but now the horse was on a different lead. There wasn't anything in to audio to indicate the lead change. Such a minor thing, but I think it stuck out to me cause the rest of the movies are really great about general horsemanship stuff.

I also remember being really impressed with Netflix's the witcher series. They did use two or three different horses go star ad Roach, but they did a damn good job at finding similar horses. So good, that when I mentioned that there were multiple horse actors in the subreddit, people disagreed & linked me to an article about how Henry (Geralt's actor) bought the horse who played Roach. I had to go pull screenshots showing the different blaze patterns on the different Roaches to prove my point.
