MJ had a long work day at Hope for Horses today. The organization is being featured in an upcoming documentary about a much publicized bestiality case that occurred here in Seattle in the summer of 2005 (a man died after having sex with a horse). The horse ended up with HFH and was eventually placed with a family up in Bellingham who have a 14yo daughter. Bellingham isn't real convenient, so the film crew used one of the local HFH horses as a stand-in for the horse/victim. For the 14yo girl, they used (you guessed it) MJ!
They started setting up about 1 and filmed until nearly dark. Chloe and I went to watch the tail end of it (no pun intended). It was very cool. The crew would set up the shot, then the director would say, "Sound on. Camera on. Aaaand... MJ, action!"
I think MJ had a really good time (aside from getting a little saddle-sore), but Pete, the stand-in horse, was pretty fed up with all the rigmarole. Saddle on, saddle off, move him here, move him there. It was nice, though: You'd see him getting irritated, but then MJ would talk to him and his eyes would go all soft again. Those critters really adore her.
The movie itself will be, er, interesting. They are evidently giving equal time to the people who think bestiality is okay. Here are a couple of write-ups I found on the Web:
