San Francisco writer Tom Jenks accompanies young Montana cowboy couple Kail and Renee Mantle on one of the last great horse drives in America.

828. SUSIE Q. DENNIS JAY. Washington, D.C. Cowboy Singer Dennis Jay. Mr. Dennis proves that riding his favourite horse, Susie Q, at a Western-style riding range outside Washington where he spends at least one afternoon most weeks. “This is my baby,” he says of Susie Q. “This is what I live for, man.

829. DRIFTER. WILDFIRE (2005). Film about a young woman, Kris Furillo (Genevieve Cortese), who finds excitement and romance at a horse ranch she works at as part of her parole from juvenile hall. When Genevieve was asked if Wildfire is the real name of the horse she replied: “There are several horses that play Wildfire because they all have unique talents. I wish there was one horse that we could use, but truthfully, it would take a lot more work than anyone thinks! In the pilot we mainly used a horse named Drifter. He was a trained movie horse with almost more credits than Dennis Weaver! He was so well trained that as soon as “set” was called his ears would prick up, and forget about the word “action” he would break into a lope. I had to ask the crew to give me a silent cue! But he was a wonderful, gentle horse and we had a great relationship! For the series we are using a couple of horses, most of which have worked on Sea Biscuit. Mattie, Reno, Finder and Houdini, all of which have extraordinary talents. Bobby, their trainer has them so well trained and attentive, they hit their marks without anyone holding on to them. They can rear, lope and stop when asked. Bobby even had me train on his horse HOUDINI with no hands while he told him how fast and where to go. It was an incredible and liberating experience and I gained a lot of trust and confidence from it.” The cast included: Nicole Tubiola as Danielle Davis, Nana Visitor as Jean Ritter, Greg Serano as Pablo Betart, Micah Alberti as Matt Ritter, Ryan Sypek as Junior Davis, Andrew Hoeft as Todd Ritter and Dennis Weaver as Henry Ritter.
