CAINE BOYCOTTS HORSE SCENES AFTER REEVE'S ACCIDENT

SIR MICHAEL CAINE vowed never to ride a horse again, after pal CHRISTOPHER REEVE was left paralysed following an equestrian accident.

SIR MICHAEL CAINE

The Italian Job star confesses he was a terrible rider anyway, and was lucky to escape unharmed during a horse-riding scene in 1970 film The Last Valley.

But he instructed his agent to reject all horse-based movies after Reeve's tragic fall in 1995, which left the Superman severely paralysed and wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life. He died in 2004.

Caine says, "I am absolutely useless. I act as though I can ride. In The Last Valley, I led a charge. If I'd have come off, they'd have all run over me.

"But since Chris Reeve, I say, 'If there's a horse in the script, don't even send it to me'. I'm never getting on a horse again."
