malnpudl and I were also skeptical of the idea that he wouldn't have ridden horses at some point in his life, but that might've mostly had to do with our simultaneous mental pictures of Tony in polo gear. (At which point my brains almost exploded from the potential hotness.) They did really play him for slapstick in this ep and make him ridiculously annoying, and though I can see why they'd do that in the scenes with McGee (to make us buy the way McGee was about to lose his shit), by the time he was doing it with Gibbs and Sheriff Lance Henriksen, I'd had enough. Still, I was willing to be forgiving, because they gave me Tony on a horse.

Also, I didn't really see him ride enough to tell, and he was purposely trying to look like a novice rider, but the man seemed to have a pretty decent seat. I kind of wonder if Weatherly has actually ridden before in real life. I think that so I may judge objectively, he should do a western. Just for me. Harmon can be in it, too. It can be like... a hot gay western. ;D

Also, definitely Angeles Forest. I have been there. I have photos of those very rocks and have parked in that very lot. I was going to take my horse for a walk there but never got around to it before I moved away. Would definitely have gotten around to it if I'd known Michael Weatherly would be there. ;D
