- People tease me all the time about "Oh my gosh,
"Chris Hemsworth, we didn't even know."
And I'm just like,
"Yeah, I've worked with Chris Hemsworth, yeah, yeah."
(laughing)
(upbeat guitar strumming)
Hi, I'm Lara Jean Marshall
I played Lisa Atwood in the Saddle Club series
and today we're gonna look back
on some iconic episodes of the show, so I'm excited to see.
(laughs nervously)
It's a little scary too.
(horse whinnying) - [Max] Lisa!
(Stomping Hooves)
(Lisa shouting)
- This is like a flashback from the past.
Oh!
- [Max] Oh no!
- Oh, I fell off the horse.
(suspenseful music)
I had the stunt double for that 'cause they didn't trust
that something wouldn't actually happen to me.
- [Phil] Lisa are you okay? - [Max] Lisa.
- This is an amazing episode
'cause I just got to lie in bed all the time
and people would just feed me in bed.
I do think they made my hair a bit pretty though.
They fluffed it up and you know.
The girls do all the work and crying,
so I loved it.
- On Saturday. (monitor beeping faintly)
- It's a wedding present for you.
- Mmm, I was so kind.
Wedding presents.
Gosh, I haven't seen this in so long, it's just...
Aww this is the nice moment.
This is my favorite.
(horse whinnying loudly)
It was very hard to keep my eyes straight.
I'd just be blinking all over the place.
(horse neighing) (monitor beeping faintly)
Aww, I'm awake.
(horse snorting)
- Everyone. (gentle piano music)
- Aww, and then with my two sentences
for the whole episode,
I had a the best time.
No I really loved that episode, that brings back memories.
That's kind of touching my heart right now seeing it.
Okay, next clip.
Oh wait.
(mouse clicking) (sad trombone music)
Oh no, I've got two playing now.
(tape rewinding)
- Here we go. - Oh, here we go.
Thank you for your assistance.
- [Crew] You're welcome.
(laughing) - The old grandma over here.
(snake hisses)
- [Lisa] What are we gonna do?
- You guys go for help.
- But they always put me in orange, red, and yellow.
They were my colors, and they were the only colors
that I really didn't like.
(Lisa shouts)
- Lisa!
- [Carol] C'mon, we have to sit her down.
(Lara giggles)
- I just always laugh when I get hurt and that's not okay.
They had this plastic snake
and they were just waving it all over the place,
so when you see a plastic snake,
you're just making fun of it.
- Prancer?
- And Prancer's come here to save the day!
AKA Rocky. (horse whinnying)
He kills the snake, we get out of there,
it's a Saddle Club happy days moment.
- No!
- Oh this was an intense day.
They had fire hoses everywhere
and it was just shooting out water everywhere
and we were all drenched,
we were all cold, and
I was just running everywhere, jumping on horses.
This was my big moment, it's Lisa on Patch.
There's my stunt double, riding double
'cause they didn't trust me yet
so they put me on the back of a ute with a saddle
and I'd just be like...
But that's my big moment, Lisa finally saves the day.
She's not the victim anymore.
She goes, "Yes, I am a good rider actually" after this,
so it gives her the strength to be like,
I'm as good as anyone else.
The outback was so beautiful to film in,
it was all green and lovely.
(Lisa giggles)
I did like my smile, I have to say,
in the Saddle Club, I did like my smile.
(laughing)
- No mum, I can't wait,
I need you to come and pick me up right now!
- I really was jealous of what Veronica was wearing.
She got all of the nice outfits and the nice hair,
and I was like, in orange.
You know, like.
Oh here we go, Chris Hemsworth,
of course you've brought this one up.
Everyone loves a bit of Thor.
- Hi, I'm Veronica Di Angelo.
- He was such a lovely guy.
He only came in for one guest star role, and
he just came in for his thing and
left to go to Home and Away, and now he's in Hollywood.
- [Chris] Well, I'm just qualified.
- I mean, we all had a bit of crush on him.
Let's be honest.
He was blonde, good looking, and tall.
I think he understood that a lot of the girls
were crushing on him,
so he would just be like, "I'm just gonna
get some food over here." (Lara laughs)
And just distances himself from the young girls.
We're like, ah!
(giggling)
- I can walk by myself.
- It's just so funny, 'cause people tease me all the time
about "Oh my gosh, Chris Hemsworth,
"and we didn't even know."
And I'm just like, "Yeah, I've worked with
"Chris Hemsworth, yeah, yeah."
(laughing)
- Oh, whoops.
Okay, I've done it again.
(crew laughing)
(tape rewinding) (high-pitched chattering)
- Okay.
- Max is taking the advanced riders on a trail ride
instead of a lesson.
Oh, look.
Cool, huh?
- Can you imagine that's the actual cell phones
of that day? That's crazy.
Yes it makes me feel little old
and that I should get a wheelchair fast.
- [Veronica] Imagine what'll he'll do when my pager goes off
right under his saddle.
- I always look so worried.
(suspenseful music)
And there's the worried look again.
Oh, the running, the running.
- Carol! - Carol!
- Please Carol, You've got to trust me.
- [Carol] Okay, climb on.
- Climb on, and I did hop on,
and then the people would jump and be like
"Stop, let's do this again."
(laughing)
(pager beeping) - Here comes Lisa
and Carol to save the day. (beeping)
- That was actually really hard to reach over
and grab that pager,
it actually took a lot of effort
and my body actually was pulling against the saddle.
- [Carol] Yes!
- Saddle Club always wins.
- [Stevie] Thanks Lisa.
- Veronica always loses.
(laughing)
(uplifting acoustic guitar)
It's actually making me a bit emotional.
(laughing)
It was just a really great time in my life, and
I loved everyone in it, and honestly
I had the best time as a child
and I learned how to work from 4:00 AM to seven at night.
I look back and I go, I'm bloody proud of you Lara,
you learnt things overnight,
you had this brain that just remembered everything
and you were a hard worker.
I go, yeah I'm proud of myself.
(uplifting music)
