The team of stallions who pulled the stagecoach in The Hateful Eight received super star treatment. To make the horses’ climbs easier, production used a Snow Cat to groom the trails prior to filming the scenes. Plus their hooves were covered with rubber ice pads to protect them from the snow.

For the second time in the history of the Arnold Sports Festival, youth equestrians will participate in the event. These equestrians will be competing in the middle school, high school and, new this year, at the college level events.

When it came time to decide where these beloved equines would bed down for the night, the team turned to The Sanctuary, Equine Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation Center in Ocala, Florida. The beautiful facility with ample pastures set underneath the shade of massive oak trees provides the perfect respite for a little rest and relaxation during their trip to Florida.
