What happened during the filming? The filming of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power suffers a setback and is struck by horror.
There has been a tragedy on the set of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Apparently, a horse died on the set of the Amazon series. The most ambitious program in the history of Prime Video.
As reported by Deadline, the horse died due to “heart failure” while preparing to shooting scenes from the second season of the series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. “We are deeply saddened to confirm that a production horse died on March 21,” an Amazon Studios spokesperson said. “The incident took place in the morning while the horse was being exercised before trials. The coach was not wearing a suit and filming had not started yet. Both a veterinarian and a representative from the American Humane Association were present at the time. Independent necropsy has confirmed that the horse died of heart failure.”

According to some sources, more than 30 horses were used on the set that day. All horses were supplied by The Devil’s Horsemen, a new supplier of horses for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power since the series moved its production from New Zealand to the UK after the first season. This is the first known casualty of a horse in the 50-year history of The Devil’s Horsemen, who have worked on other productions including Justice League, Game of Thrones and The Crown. After the horse collapsed, everyone was asked to leave the set for 30-45 minutes while the body was removed. After the brief hiatus, production resumed.
