That's not true. The film was edited to appear that way. The horses were not harmed. As a matyer of fact, it was part of my job to take care of them.
LOL OK, so what's the story? Don't just come on here and issue a proclamation without qualifying statements to back it up.
How was the sequence staged? How did you ensure that horses were not going to be harmed after being pushed over a cliff?
And by the way I am not some animal rights activist. I
admire this film and wish to understand what we are looking at when evaluating what appears to be a scene of barbaric cruelty.

The scene with the horses going over the cliff still hangs over this film. Some reviewers are convinced that this was for real. The reviewer who seems to have gone into this sequence more than any other is Microbrereviews. I will quote below what they have to say about the horses in the paragraph below:-
"...the scene where Moon and the horses go over the cliff. At first glance, those falling horses look awfully real during the landslide and one would hope this was a tragic accident caught on film at best and at worst they decided to put it in anyway. But scanning through it a couple of times, I can say those definitely weren't any kind of stuffed equine effigies. (Just watch the legs.) And having personally witnessed several dead animals being shipped off to the rendering plant, I have my suspicions that those were real dead horses (hopefully procured from the same kind of rendering plant) chucked over the cliff to get the shot."
