Behind the scenes with Scotland's stunt horse team

About This Program

Documentary following Scotland's stunt horse team, whose members travel the UK performing exhilarating stunt shows jousting knights on horseback and appearing as gun-slinging acrobatic cowboys. Lances and swords, trick guns and period costumes are all staples for the team. Based on a farm just outside Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, they divulge the secret to skilled stunt choreography and show-stopping performances. Some of the younger stunt riders are involved in common riding, an annual event in the towns of the Borders where hundreds of locals gather together for a horseback ride
