Batman Begins star Christian Bale has mixed emotions about his upcoming cowboy role in 3:10 To Yuma - because he hasn't had a lot of luck with horses.

The British-born movie star is looking forward to saddling up in the western remake, but insists he'll be getting to know his horse first.

He explains: "I've actually been run over by a horse and had one tread on me. I've been thrown off of them.

"I'm not really a horseman but I'm not really scared of horses either. Despite everything, I like the beasts."
