Answer 7

There's this really old movie called Gypsy Colt.  I think it's from the 1950's  It's kind of cheesy but kind of fun too.  It's about this girl's horse who gets sold to some guy far away.  So the horse breaks out of the stable and makes a 500 mile trek back home to the girl.  Kind of like Homeward Bound, but it's a horse instead of dogs.  Like I said, the plot is kind of cheesy but the stunts and tricks the horse does in the movie are AMAZING, some of the coolest I've ever seen.

Answer 8

Black Beauty- its the life story of a horse and what he's been through and also kind of a love story between two horses... gives great perspective on the horses side of thinking; i kno i made it sound really boring but its a really good movie

Spirit, Stallion of the Cimmeron- A story about a horse who becomes leader of his herd. But with the settling of the west people are comeing near his land. he gets captured saving his herd and the us army tries to break him but cant. a native american takes interest in him and saves him. Spirit then falls in love with the native american's horse and trys to perswade it to run away with him, but then the army comes and attacks the native americans village and spirit saves the native american. wen spirit refuses to leave the side of his injered loved ones side, he gets captured and is forced to pull a train along train tracks still being built with other captured horses. he then realizes that the train tracks are heading straight towards his homeland... will he be able to stop the ruin of his homeland? will the army keep him captured forever? will he ever see his herd agian?

Hidalgio- a guy enters a horserace across the desert and no one thinks he can win, he is from another country and he is using a different breed of horse. he has to face the many obsticals of the desert and the hatered from many of the people, it sound wierd but its a really good movie

Seabiscut- the story about the real racehorse. the tiny horse that no one believes in and the big jocky that come from behind and end up winning a lot of the races... shows the realtionship between horse and jocky

Dreamer- a girl in KY that lives on a poor horsefarm with no horses. she convinces her dad not to put down a horse with an injery to the leg. the horse burns through the familys already low amount of money. the girl believes in the horse but no one else does. she wants it to go to the KY derby and believes it can defeat the odds and that it can make their family rich again... can it??

Answer 9

I have not included 'movies' that are how-to documentaries about how to ride or work with horses.  More detailed descriptions of the movies listed can be found on imdb.com or netflix.com.  Any movie not described follows the generic plot line of: a kid meets a horse that no one else can control/see the potential in, the child is the only one to bond with the horse and together they win a race/prove themselves "adults"/get friends/etc.  I have noted my personal favorite movies with a triple star before the title.

Also to keep in mind, www.nickernetwork.com has tons of free 'non-fiction' shows and movies!

Answer 12

Flicka, The Man From Snowy River, Touching Wild Horses. Those are a few of my favourites... Let me know if this helps!

Answer 13

I'm an Electric Horseman Fan too:

It's about an old drunken, worn out world's champion cowboy and his rescue of a drugged out race horse and their journey from the stage in Las Vegas, NV to the hills where the now straight stallion is turned loose with a herd of mares and the chase that entailed in route by police, corporate biggies (They owned the horse) and the media (Jane Fonda).

My Pal Trigger

It's an old Roy Rogers and Trigger movie about the fictionalized tale of how Roy got Trigger.  Actually he bought him the year following the release of "Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn (Olivia De Haviland rode Trigger.) Trigger was owned by the Fats Jones stable and Roy bought him for $3.500.00.

Note:  Julianne,

Gypsy Colt starred Country Gentleman we all know him better as FURY.

Answer 19

Black Beauty is great.  It is kind of sad at points though.  It follows the life of a horse from when it's a foal until it is sold as a working horse and is not taken care of well.  It's such an awesome movie though.

The Horse Whisperer is great too.  It's about a little girls dad who buys a race horse that broke it's ankle(I think) on the racetrack and they nurse it back to health and eventually take him back to the track.  Very good movie.
