Depp was riding horses for a scene when things had gone out of hand. In a sequence with Armie Hammer’s titular character, the two are seen riding horses. While Hammer’s horse is running well, Depp starts losing control over his horse. The steed then speeds up to an extent where the actor is holding onto its mane for his life.

Luckily the actor only suffered minor injuries with the rest of the cast and crew extremely worried for him.
