Ridecamp: Re: [RC] [Guest] Actors Who Can Ride

Tom Selleck is on the front of the January 2003 issue of Cowboys and Indians
with a nice story inside. He is starring and producing TNT's production of
"Monte Walsh, The Last Cowboy," Joe Schaeffer's Ode to the Cowboy, airing
January 17, 18 and 19th at 8:00 p.m. (doesn't say what time zone) Also in
the movie are two other well known names, Keith and Robert Carradine. Sounds
like Tom is attempting to make the movie as authentic as he can. He started
way early before shooting, researching and having custom tack made from some
of the country's finest craftman, right down to to the spurs. Looks like
it's going to be good. I'll be watching! One of the captions shows Directory
Simon Wincer who hurried back from Namibia where he was filming Disney's
"The Young Black Stallion." Anybody got any information on that one?
