Horse dies on ‘Flicka’ location
From Associated Press
The broken-neck death of a mustang during filming of the movie “Flicka” led Los Angeles city animal control officials to ban future use of wild horses during the remake of the 1943 movie classic “My Friend Flicka.”
The horse was killed Monday during filming at the Hansen Dam Equestrian Center in the San Fernando Valley. The Animal Services Department, which issues animal-use permits to the film industry, shut down the shoot after learning of the death.
The 20th Century Fox remake of “Flicka” stars country music star Tim McGraw. It’s scheduled for release in February.
