Christopher Reeve's Ominous Riding Accident Decade Before Tragedy #ChristopherReeve #Interview

I recently uh filmed in Hungary a film which I had to learn how to ride a horse very suddenly uh 5 days before we started shooting went out for a practice ride and this horse he had a real good night's sleep and uh was just feeling full of it I gave him perhaps a slightly too strong a signal de caner and he took off like a shot and it was an a horseshoe ring and we went out the open end of it and straight down this dirt track and I got a Scenic tour of hungry that I wasn't we went all over the place and I thought a couple of choices here um one is well there's a there's a hill over to the side maybe I can drive him to the hill but then there's a ditch between the road and the hill I'll probably wipe out in the ditch so that's no good so I thought I'll keep going and let him get tired and he didn't and he finally came to a fork in the road I said I've got about a 50/50 chance of getting this right and I didn't um left went right threw me off the side and I broke a rib and this is 5 days before shooting so uh the insurance company I hope is not it's not tuned in tonight
