This causes the horses to somersault forward, which is spectacular but kills many horses by breaking their necks or backs (notice how the horses stretch their necks out when they start to fall in that scene). For this reason, the running W has been outlawed in the U.S. for many years. It still is, or was, quite popular in Bollywood; I've seen several Bollywood clips like this one that use running W horse "stunts," but I don't know how old the clips are or if they're still being used in Bollywood. <br />In American movies, the horses always fall sideways. It may not be as authentic, but the horses can get up after the camera quits rolling.
