Alec Baldwin Wanted to Ride a Horse, but ‘Rust’ Safety Adviser Said No: ‘There Was a Bit of Yelling’


Alec Baldwin resisted a safety adviser's warning not to ride a horse at full gallop when 'Rust' resumed. Prosecutors want to use that at trial.

Now one of those officers — Paul Jordan — is set to testify against Baldwin at his upcoming manslaughter trial in Santa Fe, saying that the actor resisted advice not to ride a horse at full gallop. In his pre-trial interview, Jordan said that Baldwin required three or four people to help him mount and dismount the horse, but that once astride it, he wanted to ride fast over uneven terrain. The defense wants to bar the prosecutors from showing the set videos of Baldwin cursing or engaging in allegedly reckless behavior with his gun, saying they are also irrelevant.
