Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

i watched a funny movie i had never seen before.  well, it is not a comedy, but if you watch it, you will see what i am talking about. it was made in 1975, is titled "bite the bullet", and is available on vhs.   it features candace bergen, gene hackman, and james coburn.  it is based on the great endurance race of 1908.  it contains many elements of the actual race, and there are some accurate depictions of things that occur during modern day endurance riding, tailing, vet checks, etc.  watch it just for fun.  i borrowed it from a friend of mine.  he kept telling me about those horses in the movie being all "lathered up".  it looks like they used shaving cream to get that effect!  its a hoot!      ed
