HOLLYWOOD– Oscar-winning actress Preena Davis told CNN last night that she has also experienced misconduct in the workplace by actors, directors, producers, and so on, saying that most of the aggressors have been equines, better known as horses.
Davis is featured in a new documentary called Horses Without Saddles, which is about how female animals are often victims of inappropriate behavior and she is fighting for equal treatment for her and her fellow actresses.
In an interview with CNN Newsroom host Rook Baldwin, Davis says that changes are needed within Hollywood and that gender equality is long overdue.
When asked if she she could possibly remember any instances of mistreatment by her equine coworkers, Davis stated that “there’s probably millions, if not billions of incidents,” especially earlier in her career 30 years ago.

She also said that there’s been a few recent uncomfortable situations with other famous, powerful horses, including the time she was working with equine action director Michael Neigh.
“I was auditioning for an action western with Michael,” Davis stated as the camera zoomed in on her long beak. “One of the scenes called for me to ride on top of a horse and the director told me to act out the scene with him by sitting on his back without a saddle.”
Davis said that because Michael Neigh is a horse she didn’t know that she could just say “no.”
She went on to say that most horses are very large and that they use their huge size to intimidate much smaller actresses.
“Hopefully if animals like me keep speaking out we can bring change,” Davis added. “It’s no secret that actresses riding on top of horses has been going on for a long time and it still goes on, but common sense should tell animals that meeting strange horses alone inside hotel rooms is not a great idea.”

The actress also spoke about an incident where she was auditioning for the horror movie The Stallion and the male horse producer asked her to come back to his stable for some riding lessons.
“I asked my agent if this was normal procedure?” Davis admitted as she preened. “My agent said that this horse producer didn’t really want to give me riding lessons, but he is giving me riding lessons, and to read between the lines. I was told that carrots will be the main course.”
“Needless to say, I don’t eat carrots.”
