Academy Awards Flashback - Billy Crystal and his Quarter Horse Beechnut!

Published on Monday, February 27, 2012 in General

The Academy Awards are starting very soon and with Billy Crystal back in his role as host after an eight year break, Americashorsedaily.com decided to flashback to when he rode his very own Quarter Horse, Beechnut, on stage at the 1991 Oscars! 

Billy met the black gelding on the set of his hit movie City Slickers, where he says they started an 'on-location romance' and after filming the owner of Beechnut gave the lovely horse to the smitten actor.

This year we're all excited to see how our new favourite horse movie, War Horse, will go at the Academy Awards and are keen to see what kind of entertainment Billy Crystal will dish up!
