Foxx’s Terror At Riding His Django Horse Bareback Worked For The Movie
It Was The Actor’s Most Nerve-Wracking Django Unchained Scene
Despite Foxx ’s comfort with his horse , he ’s not a professional equestrian , so there was a significant amount of training for Foxx and Cheetah in club for them both to be prepared on set . The stunt coordinator , Jeff Dashnaw , was very intentional about work with a Modern horse and Foxx speak about the coordinator in a BTS featurette fromSony Pictures at Home UK ,
" Dash[naw ] was always say the knight is go to be a piddling spooked when those big screens amount down , so just be cool , "

I ’m riding bareback , and he says , ' heed , you know you ’ve catch ta ride a little further than we thought . If you feel like you require to chute off the horse and surrender , just jump off . ' I was like alright cool . And the horse take off run 30 miles an hour , and I ’m like , ' How am I gon na jump off this deuced buck ?
