There’s no streaming service that can ignore Yellowstone: After Paramount+ *, MagentaTV, RTL+ and Netflix, Amazon has now also snapped up the first 3 seasons for the end of March. Anyone who still doesn’t gallop out into the vast steppe with the modern cowboys in the mountain panorama has only themselves to blame. For the Riding talent of its stars Incidentally, series creator Taylor Sheridan made a startling revelation some time ago.
Yellowstone’s greatest horse talent has to hide his own skills
The series Yellowstone revolves around the titular ranch in Montana, which the Dutton family around patriarch John (Kevin Costner) does not want to give up at any price. As a result, kids and cones often get on the horse saddle to drive cattle across the wide grassy areas or to pursue other enemies. However, in an interview with Deadline, Taylor Sheridan revealed that the The best rider in his cast is never allowed to show his talent for good reason:
Paramount
Yellowstone: Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly)
I put the entire cast through thorough riding training. Ironically, the person least allowed to ride is the one who is the best rider: Kelly Reilly. She grew up riding. In contrast, Jimmy (Jefferson White) had grown up in New York and had basically never sat on a horse.
Kelly Reilly’s character rides so little in Yellowstone because her Character Beth Dutton in the series Hates Horses – in complete contrast to her actors. Beth’s reluctance stems from her mother Evelyn’s fatal riding accident. But the hard-nosed Dutton daughter was able to cement her status as a fan favorite with other qualities.
Kevin Costner has also filmed many a western on horseback. The fact that Kelly Reilly surpasses him in Sheridan’s eyes is high praise, especially since… Series creator himself an excellent rider and horse enthusiast, as reported by Quarter Horse News, among others. For example, Sheridan only took on the Yellowstone guest role of Travis Wheatley because he couldn’t find anyone else who could handle the challenging role of a professional horse trainer.
