Hey man, I can actually remember huge controversy over that exact stunt. I swear it was on the news in England that there was an investigation but it's been so long I cannot remember the specifics. I just remember the clip being shown as I had yet to see the episode.

ive seen rescue programs where they rescued a horse from a deep ravin,and they lifted the horse by helicoper.
dont know if this was real tough,i always tought it was.

i wonder who came up with that tough,wre they high?

is it footage from another movie?

Horse stunt: I remember this before I'd heard of MacGyver as it received a special mention at the Stuntman Awards for 1985, in which Airwolf won a special stunt award for the episode 'Annie Oakley'.

I've seen this episode a few times and though it was a badass stunt it just seems really cruel as it was a real horse (though the long far away shot may have been fake).

I actually DID see something about the making of this stunt, though I can't remember where, or what the specifics were. The one thing I do remember is that they showed how it was (obviously) a stunt double on the horse, and so the hands that we see tying the rope to the horse are not RDA's hands. I'm pretty sure an actual helicopter was used.
Damn, I wish I could remember where I saw that behind-the-scenes clip. It was on tv in the 80s, not long after the episode aired.

You really think they don't have proper harnesses to lift a horse like that? Do you really think they lifted it by the saddle? Are you really that dense?

This is a non-question. It was a stunt. Just because you didn't see how it was done doesn't mean they did it in the most illogical way possible.
