Actor Jeremy Irvine played the role of Young Albert, he admitted that he was really a rookie in the cast. According People magazine report, Irvine said even the horses had more acting experiences than he did. They all have been in many movies.
It was the first time for him to learn how to ride on a horse. He said at that time he thought he was kind of skeptical because he didn’t think he’d genuinely get a relationship with these horses.
There are 14 horses to play the main animal character, Joey, after taking the intense training, Irvine began to bond with his lovely partners. Irvine told the People magazine that he finally realized the horses have the human emotions, and that is of great benefit to him.
