Working Horse Stunts on "John Adams"




Tommie has been working out of Richmond, VA on an HBO movie, "John Adams". He has been working with horses as a revolutionary alongside Paul Giamatti. (Sideways, Lady in the Garden, the Illusionist...) Tommie worked in battle scenes and also had a speaking part warning the people that the "British are marching on Concord". He said they had to use the rain makers to create rain during the battles and marches and it was cold!

Here are photos of Tommie on horseback, getting ready to ride up to Paul G, a photo of the stunt guys in wardrobe, and a shot of the film crew setting up a shot.
It was cool when we were watching the series premier of the Sopranos that they showed a few clips of "John Adams". Can't wait to see it. Ride Fast... Take Chances! karen

Do you take on working students? I have 17 years of equestrian experience including riding and training. My desire is to become a stunt woman or a stunt horse trainer. Any words of wisdom or tips that you could pass along to someone just starting out? I'd appreciate it a great deal!

I'm currently a college sophomore, looking for summer work. I live in Florida but go to school in Texas. I've raised, trained, and showed three horses since I was six and would love an opportunity to work any way I can with horses. Please email me and I'd be glad to submit a resume and references to you.
Thanks.
