What's it really like for Lara, Sophie and Keenan to turn into Lisa, Stevie and Carole for the day? We followed them around on-set in rural Victoria to find out! Sunday night. Lara Marshall sits cross legged on her bed, memorising her lines for tomorrow's day of shooting the Saddle Club. She knows that her co-stars Sophie Bennett and Keenan Macwilliam, will be doing the same in their homes. Monday morning. It's 5:30am. Lara is already up and listening for the runner's car. She checks her call sheet and smiles. Soon all the girls are on the move travelling to the location. Nathan, the second assistant director, sits at a table in the corner with scripts and schedules load out in front of him and a walie-talkie close at hand. The horses whinny in greeting as the girls approach, looking forward to the petting and stroking they know they will get. In the stables, the director runs the girls through the scene, showing them how he wants them to move before he shouts "Action!"
Welcome to our very own exclusive Saddle Club Secrets column. We can't reveal our secret operative's identity, but let's just say you won't get this information anywhere else and you can trust that it's ultra reliable - straight from the horse's mouth, as the saying goes!
If anyone can give you the lowdown on Pine Hollow Stables, its me. I see it all and hear it all because I can blend into the background and they don't realise I'm listening. I hear all kinds of secrets that way. I know more about the people at Pine Hollow than anyone else!
The time that gypsy boy came to camp near the Stables. Rafael. Everyone was pretending to be real cool around him. But they were all straining their bridles trying to get him to notice them. Even Carole had a crush, probably because he was such a good rider. All The Saddle Club were knocked out by his riding.
