    Re: [RC] [Guest] Actors Who Can Ride - Bette Lamore


    Tom Selleck very much rides. Has a ranch near Murdock's (of Ventura Farms) and Robert Wagner, who also rides. The business manager for both Tom and Robert was the administrator of the Trust for Gil Van Camp (Van Camp Pork and Beans, Starkist Tuna, etc) and we purchased the remainder of the Arabians in the Van Camp Estate (bought 21 horses just to get Amsterdam, son of Tallin). Interestingly, when Zane saw HAlynov at our place (and at 16.2 he really stood out) he said he had tried to buy him from the Califatos a few months before we did for $85,000 for Tom as a gift. Dick refused to sell Hal to him because he wanted to geld him before he gave him to Tom. I told Zane that Tom could come up and ride Hal anytime he wanted to--- just couldn't touch his balls ;-)
    That is as close as I ever got to Tom Selleck, but I hear he enjoys riding a lot, as does Robert Wagner.
    BTW, I met Patrick when I was videoing his trainer's horse (Rita McNair) at his place. I told my kids if they went with me, they would meet a movie star. Of course they thought that Mom had lost it, but just to say I told you so, they came with me. Sure enough, we spent about three hours with Pat sitting on the floor of his tack room sharing horse and dog stories. He is a VERY nice guy and VERY into his horses, especially Tallin. The only problem he has is when he shows (like at Scottsdale), some of the women were actually reaching over the rails to touch him and spooked his horse. I told him it would probably be better not to pose anymore with Tallin with his shirt off. He did it to sell the posters to make money for the youth classes--- sold a lot, but then he was left with the consequences.
    Oh well, back to the real world...
    Bette, who is unashamedly guilty here of name dropping--- hey, you live in Paso Robles and nothing very exciting here happens so "youse takes your thrills where you can get them!"

    Well, this thread is fun!!! Yakima's last name is Canute (sp?).
    Roy Rogers started life as Leonard Sly-  but I think it was in Ohio, not
    Chicago-  This is often a Jeopardy item....Tommy Lee Jones not only rides
    very well, I think he raises Cutting horses and competes sucessfully on
    them.  I know Ban Johnson could ride, but I think Don Johnson also can do so
    reasonably.  Kevin Costner not only did all the riding in "Dances", he also
    bought a couple of the horses that were used in the film.  When you all
    remember (those of you my age) those Saturday afternoon movies we got to
    park in every rainy weekend, there were lots of actors who rode.  James
    Coburn, Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen was a natural athlete at anything, and
    rode as well as competed in motorcycle and car races.  James Gardner also
    did well, and was one of the NICEST people in the movie/TV world.  Still is
    today.  Tom Selleck rides also-I THINK---And ladies-  how could you miss the
    absolutely top notch guy who could drag his dirty boots across my carpet
    ANYTIME---SAM ELLIOTT?????  I heard a few years ago that he and Katherine
    Ross-also drop dead gorgeous-had bought a ranch in Oregon and were updating
    it with some serious money to raise cutting horses.....This thread is fun-
    making all of us think alot about the good old movies..Karen Nelson AERC
