"A" is Australia

Having grown up in western Australia, Heath knew how to ride horses and was comfortable with the role.  He was taught the difference between Western- and English-style riding.

Ennis picked out a big chestnut called Cigar Butt to ride, Jack a bay mare who turned out to have a low startle point.

"C" is comfortably

Heath had training in dressage prior to the film.  Jake, he rode bikes, mostly.

"E" is enhanced

Time spent in Ang Lee's boot camp -- riding horses and working with the dogs and the sheep -- enhanced Jake Gyllenhaal's ability to play a believable Jack Twist.

"H" is hastened

Alerted by the barking blue heeler, Ennis hastened his horse so he could see for himself what the ruckus was about.

One of the pastoral scenes shows that the horses were jumpers; they jump over a mountain stream.
