Horse Movies

In the last holidays, I went on a marathon. I went to Video Ezy and rented all the horse movies I could find. And I watched all of them. And all of them were awesome. So now I tell you about the horse movies I watched and rate them :)

Secretariat:
I LOVED this movie. The last race was so suspenseful but I won't say anything so I won't spoil it for you. I think this one is my favourite horse movie out of them all. I rate this movie ♥♥♥♥♥ Five hearts :)

Spirit: Stallion of  the Cimarron
When I got this movie, I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a cartoon, after all, and was in the "Young Children" section. But still, even though I was ten years too old for the movie, I still loved it. It was told from the horses point of view, and even when there wasn't narration you could still tell exactly what he was feeling. I rate this movie Five Hearts ♥♥♥♥♥

Dreamer:
This movie was really great and inspirational, about a family with not a lot of money healing a mare with a broken leg so she could race again. I rate this movie Five Hearts ♥♥♥♥♥

The Horse Whisperer:
A great horse movie for older people (it's rated M). It had a bit of drama and romance too, which I liked, and it's about a young girl who loses her leg, her best friend, and almost loses her horse in a car accident. I rate this movie Four Hearts ♥♥♥♥

Moondance Alexander:
One of the few horse movies where the main character is a teenager and a good rider. I rate this movie Four Hearts ♥♥♥♥

Seabiscuit:
I love the story of Seabiscuit, a young horse who nobody wanted who ended up being a star in the right hands. It's about two broken beings healing eachother. I rate this movie Four Hearts ♥♥♥♥

Flicka 1:
Flicka is a great movie, and to make it better it's based on a book I love "My Friend Flicka" by Mary O'hara. It was a tad bit unrealistic but I still liked it so I rate it Four Hearts ♥♥♥♥

Flicka 2:
This movie has almost no connection to the first one, meaning all the characters are different. It was even more unrealistic then the first movie. For example, people say that the horse (Flicka) is loco, but when Carrie, the main character who has never been on a horse before, rides her, she doesn't act up at all. Also, after riding horses for about a week, Carrie can canter and back a horse up, which should take most people about a year of riding to learn to do. Still, it was an alright movie so I rate it Three Hearts ♥♥♥

These were all good movies so I recommend you renting them all, especially the ♥♥♥♥♥ ones. Next time I'll do a post about grooming horses, so make sure you don't miss it!
