Hold your horses Will Young

Hi everyone

The wonderful Will Young has just shot the video for his next single ‘Grace,’ out on Dec 1, and he’s gone all horse-tastic!

But there’s more… the horse in the video isn’t just any old nag, no, it’s one of Hollywood’s most famous equines in movie history, a.k.a. Vandal, - Mel Gibson’s noble charger from the five-times Oscar winning film, Braveheart!

Vandal also starred as Black Beauty in the most recent film. Will’s video was filmed at a South London equestrian centre and Will even wears jodhs and a showjumping jacket to tackle some challenging fences.

He told H+P exclusively, "I found the riding challenging but hugely enjoyable. I rode as a child and recently took it up again, I'm really enjoying it – I had some extra lessons before the shoot too. I'm still finding my way and I'm sure it's clearly visible in the video that I'm not a pro-rider just yet, but I had such an enjoyable time filming that it's totally renewed my enthusiasm in riding." Go Will!

Although apparently Vandal, the A-list neddy, got even more attention than Will on set. Never mind Will, the single is awesome and it’s out in time for Xmas so start making those lists.
