In wildly exciting news, a documentary film about Kim Walnes and The Gray Goose — darlings of the US Eventing Team and the five-star level of competition through the 70s and 80s — is in the works, and even better? The team behind it is currently on the hunt for a female event rider and a grey horse to stand in for the subjects of the film. There’s some poetry in that: Kim and Gray themselves acted as body doubles in the eventing classic Sylvester, where they delivered the cross-country performances for the titular horse and his feisty rider.
The social media callout reads as follows: “We are looking to cast a female event rider and a gray horse to film some footage in Dublin, VA and Woolwine, VA the week of August 14. The footage would be used for an upcoming documentary.
Rider should be experienced with galloping xc. If interested, please DM riding pictures and video footage along with contact information to Shanyn Fiske or email to [email protected]
Preference for rider / horse pairs in Pulaski County, VA and surrounding areas.”
