They're making sure he's really white, yes? I just saw a QI where they tripped up a horsey person by flashing a picture of Silver asking, "What color is this horse?" and without even thinking she answered, "grey".

She is a sabino thoroughbred. I don't know if the other horses cast are also sabino but this one is registered white.

Here is the article from the Sun-Times.

Cool!

Perfectlymemorable is her registered name - see - she is registered as a white mare with the Jockey Club.

Ooh Colored Sunset is flashy! I wonder how the search for Scout is going.

horsies!

Clayton Moore, who portrayed the Lone Ranger in the majority of the television shows, indicated they were Morabs, part Morgan and part Arabian. Wranglers and owners of the Silvers though have stated Silver#1 had Tennessee Walking Horse in his breeding and Silver#2 was half Arabian and half Saddle Bred.

So, I've been watching the Harry Potter movies while I'm here at my sister's. They have most of them, except Deathly Hallows 1.

I watched The Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince first. I also watched the deleted scenes from HP:HBP.

I was surprised how much I liked about the HBP on this, my second viewing. I got very nostalgic realizing that that was the last we see of Qidditch. My favorite part of any HP movie is the interaction between the children punctuated with brilliant flashes of the excellent adult actors. This is the last movie where they have any fun at school.

In the deleted scenes there is a beautiful montage of Hogwarts before the final confrontation. There is also a hysterical scene of Emma Thompson just being Prof. Trelawny at the first banquet of the year.

I then went back and watched HP: And the Sorceror's Stone. The kids were such little babies! So cute and wee! Seamus blowing everything up, even the twins had higher voices, Zoe Wanamaker teaching broomstick flying! Everything so detailed and shiny and new!

Daniel Radcliffe's performance is much better than I thought it was the first time I saw it.

I realized I was burbling on like a loon.

I have a question for those who have read the books, and I'll ask in white-font in case I'm accidently stumbling into a spoiler: After re-watching The Tale of The Three Brothers I have a question about the "gifts" they received from Death. The wand we know was Dumbledore's and the Cloak of Invisibility is what Harry inherited from his father, but the stone is the one I'm wondering about. While I was watching the first movie over I convinced myself that the Sorcerer's Stone was the artifact, but then Dumbledore says he destroyed it. Did he really? Or is it some other thing that we've seen before but not realized the importance of? Or is it something that is found for the first time in the last movie? I don't need a detailed answer, just whether any of my guesses is near the mark.

Heartland is the movie that is being shot in DeKalb County, IL. (i.e., where I live.) Zac Efron has been spotted in the local Walgreen's.

But not by me.

If you do see him, be sure and count his nipples, mkay?
