Welcome to Equine FX!

 

This site is all about equine effects including

horse trick & stunt riding in New Zealand.

Trick riding is another equestrian sport that people from the United States of America, Australia, England, Germany, France and many more countries, perform.

It is like gymnastics  on the back of a fast running horse that takes hours, days and years to perfect.

The horses need to be broad minded and willing to run. They should be around 15 hands high, nimble and surefooted.

Have a look at the pictures and see what you think.

Many of these tricks are done in the movies like Hidalgo and The Mask of Zorro.

 

Trick riding  is a lot of fun and very entertaining.

 

 

Here is a  quarterhorse/standardbred named Ace of Spades. He is carrying his rider Cossack Drag style.
