Hi-Yo Silver! Away! First Look at THE LONE RANGER'S Famous Horse

Check out videos of The Lone Ranger's legendary horse, Silver, and the stunts that he'll be partaking in for the filming of Johnny Depp's new movie.

The Lone Ranger saves Silver's life from an enraged buffalo and, in gratitude, Silver chooses to give up his wild life to carry him.

In another episode, however, the Lone Ranger, in a surge of conscience, releases Silver back to the wild. The episode ends with Silver returning, bringing along a companion who becomes Tonto's horse, Scout.

Whenever the Lone Ranger mounts Silver, he shouts, "Hi-yo, Silver! Away!" Besides sounding dramatic, this shout originally served to tell the radio audience that a riding sequence was about to start. In an echo of the Lone Ranger's line, Tonto frequently says, "Git-um up, Scout!" - Wikipedia




I have confirmed that legendary Hollywood horse trainer Rex Peterson is in fact training multiple horses for the role of Silver in Gore Verbinski's new film. Gore who just won an Oscar for his animated film, Rango, will begin filming this week. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed that filming will begin this week within his congratulatory tweet to his director.

Now, what you will see in the three videos should be considered spoilers, so watch it only if you dare. The first video has a few cut away descriptions that explain what type of stunts Silver is being trained to perform. The second video is of a dangerous transfer stunt sequence that involves a stage coach.

Rex believes in preparing horses for any stunt or sequence required on film or in commercials. You can see some of his techniques training specialty horses to work on films like The Lone Ranger. Five white horses are trained to play Silver, each one focusing on their unique qualities, and at least three trained to perform every stunt for safety.

The Lone Ranger will be released in theaters May 31, 2013. The film stars Armie Hammer as The Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto. Also starring in the movie: Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper and Timothy Hutton.

That's actually a fine looking horse. Too bad they can't get the Tonto casting done as accurate and well.

Hi-Yo Silver, AWAY!

Some of us are very excited for this movie and will take whatever news is out there. I am glad to see they are working on transfers, cause a western film has to have at least one.

Can't wait!
