True Grit/Cowboys and Aliens
After designing and producing a ride-able animatronic horse for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Mark's Studio created a second ride-able horse for Bedtime Stories. The motion and animatronic features of the two horses were enhanced and refined for True Grit and further developed for Cowboys & Aliens. The animatronic horses are used where the action, if performed by real horses, might put the riders or horses at risk of harm or injury.
