This was one of three versions of the plot of Rio Bravo, of which the original was best but each had its charms. For example, John Wayne rode his prettiest horse in this one.
Cf. Ivanhoe:
Having expressed himself thus confidently, he reined his horse backward down the slope which he had ascended, and compelled him in the same manner to move backward through the lists, till he reached the northern extremity, where he remain stationary, in expectation of his antagonist. This feat of horsemanship again attracted the applause of the multitude.
Horses really don’t like to do what Ivanhoe and John Wayne just did. It’s a mastery.

Not being able to see where they're going, I imagine not! The level of trust must be huge to be able to get them to.
