Ajay Devgn talks to TOI about his fascination for daredevilry and his love for horses.On his two-bike stunt in Phool Aur Kante and his two-car stunt in the Golmaal series Riding two bikes or two cars was tough, but easier than horses because at least bikes and cars have human riders who can be asked to ride parallel to each other, unlike horses.On two horses in Son Of Sardaar Riding horses is the mark of a man. They are the toughest animals to ride. The horses were trained, but it still required a lot of practice to ride two together.Even though the horses were tied, the risk was very high as they were galloping and a great deal of control was required. Sitting on a horse itself is so tough but standing makes it all the more difficult.While I have done a lot of action in my various films, this is the most difficult action scene I have ever done. With this film, we have brought back horses after a long time.Top stars who are good riders Salman, Sanjay and I are good riders.Horse for my daughter I have always loved horses and bought a horse named Ginger for my daughter when she was four years old. The horse lived at our farm but I was very busy and could not find enough time to visit the farm and so we gave her away.What action legend Veeru Devgn has to say about his sons two-horse stunt: I remember the first time in Kashmir while shooting Mr Natwarlal when I taught Ajay to sit on a horse. He was only six then. Today I feel proud that while it is tough to ride even one horse, he is standing on two galloping horses, which is a very difficult stunt.
