If anyone happens to come across these two Disney movies I would deeply appreciate information on where they found them and their cost. The two movies I am referring to are “The Horse With The Flying Tail” about a show jumper and the movie “The Tatooed Police Horse” about a horse that was a trotter who is sold and ends up as a police mounted horse who then gets a chance to show it’s stuff back on the track if my memory is not failing me. I have been looking and looking for these movies. I have even written the Disney company to see if they might rerelease them in DVD format but as of yet have not heard from them. I have my fingers crossed. If you should know where I could find these two please contact me at BEG48@aol.com. Thanks.

I found the horse with the flying tail but it’s now called breaking free it costs $11.78

Hi,
I am looking for an old b/w movie about a young man who is framed for murder, breaks out of jail to look for the men who framed him, and tries to steal a horse from a rancher who believes him. So the rancher gives him his “best mount”…. an old white mule…. The rest of the story follows the young man and the mule tracking the bad guys while eluding the posse…. ANY help would be appreciated.

I am looking for a movie from the 50s or 60s where a man is running from police and rides a palomino horse to elude them. At the end he attempts to cross a road and the horse gets scared and eventually gets hit by a car. The police shot it.
I believe it is called “Lonley are the Brave”
I remember seeing this movie as a young child. The law that was after him was flying a helicopter. I am also looking for an old movie set on the North Carolina coast and it was about swimming ponies across a chanel to sell them.

I am looking for a movie from 50’s or 60’s I was so infatuated with. I think it was a woman and man in love and I remember possibly the man dying and coming back as a horse from heaven. Also could have involved another person coming back as a dog. I can still see that white stallion coming through the clouds from heaven. It had alsways been in the back of my mind. Wish I could remember more but would love to see it again.
Dawn, I believe the movie is “You Never Can Tell” 1951
its not the Courage of Black Beauty (1957)
but just the plain Black Beauty on youtube.com
I am looking for a movie ca. 1948-1953 wherein a young woman in the last scene was asked where her horses were. She tapped her forehead upon which was drawn a black rectangle similar to a barn door. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I am looking for a very, very old kids horse movie.
What I remember of it is very choppy, and I’ve searched all over the web…
But it was about this horse who had a pony, and they lived in this mountainous area, and I remember there being snakes a minimal humans…
I saw it in the 90’s.
I know it isn’t much to go on, but if this sparked anyone’s memory, I would love it if you gave me an idea on what this movie might be called.
I keep thinking it was “the horse of something hallow” or something along those lines…
Looking for the name of a movie where a young man in the military saves a horse in the jungle that is caught in the mud. While the troop is helping the horse, their camp is bombed (saving all). the horse becomes their good luck charm and when they are forced to leave him on the island, they look behind as their ship is leaving and the horse is in the water following them. They open the back of the ship (amphibian style) and get the horse on board. Does anyone know the name of this movie?
I’m looking for this movie too….
Hi Cindy, The name of the Movie you are looking for is called “Gallant Bess” Hope this helps
Looking for the name of a movie about twin colts being born one with a split hoof. Owner was going to put it down when a young boy stole it and took it to his grandfather on a beach to heal it. Took it back to its owner to prove his worth, but had to ride it through many trials to return it. Last scene is in the area competing in Lew of the colts twin. The boy proved the horse was sound by riding him in the area with a wine glass on his head. Horse was a Paso Fino.
I think this is the Disney movie “Cristobalito”. I haven’t seen it since it was on the Disney hour Sunday nights on NBC back in the 1960s.
Just this week I saw “Cristoalito the Calypso Colt” (finally!) for sale on Amazon. The price was expensive, so I haven’t bought it yet.
Looking for a black/white file from the 1950’s (?)setting in Australia(?)/New Zealand(?)with children who ride to school on horses each day and become involved trying to solve mystery of where horse thieves have taken one of their fathers horses; they look for clues, track thieves and are gone for about a week from their ranch. Any info would be appreciated. Last saw it on TCM on a Saturday morning but cannot locate it now.
I think you will find that movie is Bush Christmas
Cindy, the movie with the horse with the military is Gallant Bess. I’ve been looking for a dvd of this movie.
Another to add Paige
The Adventures of Champion the Wonder Horse.(1955) 6 disk set http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047703/
NOT SURE IF THIS WILL REACH ANYONE, BUT I AM FROM THE 40S AND AROUND THE 50S THERE WAS A MOVIE OUT SIMILARY TO THIS WAR HORSE I ‘VE BEEN TELLING MY CHILDREN THAT THERE IS ALREADY A MOVIE OUT THERE LIKE IT .AM I WRONG BUT RIGHT AT THE END OF THE MOVIE THE ORIGINAL MOVIE IS WHEN THE LITTLE THAT WAS AGROWN MAN WAS ENTERING A STORE SAW HIS HORSE THAT WAS PULLING A TINKERS WAGON AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE HORSE MADE HIM NOTICE HE WAS HIS FROM WHEN HE WAS A BOY
I remember this movie, and have been racking my brain for days, I remember it was a coal wagon at the end and the coal dust covered his white mark on his forehead, the man was beating him with a stick/whip as he couldn’t walk any further. I remember first being owned by a young boy, and then a young girl just like war horse. I told as much of the story as I could remember to my daughter after she saw war horse and it seems the similarity was too much for war horse to be an original story,
Smokey with Fred McMurry, great movie. Can still get it to, check Ebay.
I hope someone can help. I am trying to find a movie which I think was made in the 1950’s and i saw on Tv in the early 70’s. It is an American 2nd WW film. It was about a young man and his horse. The young man was called up to serve in the marines and had to go to war. The horse did not want him to leave and as the troop ship sailed away from the port the horse jumped into the sea and was swimming after the ship. Someone on the ship spotted it and the troops encouraged it, and finally the captain stopped engine and lowered the rear ramp for the horse to climb aboard. From thereon the film followed the adventure of the horse and its owner. For me this was the original ‘War Horse’. What is the name of the film?
The Name of the Movie you is Gallart Bess
Does anyone remember a movie about a teenage girl who goes to work on a farm and becomes a skilled jumper? The men who work on the firm are dismissive about her ambitions. She competes with one of them for the right to train a horse for a competition. He tries to rape her in a pickup truck and she is saved by the owner of the farm. She eventually develops a relationship with another teenage boy and performs very well in a competition in Tennessee maybe? Does anyone know the name of this film?
Thanks,
David
The name is “Sylvester.” I just watched it again today.
“Sylvester”
just wondering if you know the answer of the tv guide the answer is do the clue: is these have been featured on certain shows sincew 1950s
Hi,
trying to find a movie about a horse with a white star on its forehead. It forms a special bond with his owner and rescues him by dragging his unconscious body back to the ranch.
The owner goes to war (WW2 I think), comes home and the horse is gone.
He finds the horse years later – laying in an alley hooked up to a cart being whipped by an old man.
I thought it starred Glenn Ford.
Cheers
Was interested in the black stallion used in the movie April Love. He was a trotter. What was his name????
Sometime in the late 40’s early 50’s I saw a Korean horse film–the foal was colicky,nursed to health by the child,raced,won,died of colic. Tear jerker. Yup–it left an impression on me–any one know the title? Great site here!
Snowfire – 50’s movie- White stallion – hunted by ranchers, bonds with little girl….don’t remember any more – has anyone seen it on any format??
I remember that movie, saw it in the movies, Then on tv twice and never again after that. It was a disney movie, the girl was an orphan sent to live on a farm with relatives who didnt believe she kept seeing this white horse, that they thought was a made up legend. The horse befriended her and thats all I remember.
the princess stallion???
I remember a movie out some time around 1960 in which the girl thought she was a horse. I don’t remember much, but I remember her running along the beach and/or a cliff overlooking the beach, pawing and neighing like a horse. That movie was totally entrancing but I’ve never been able to remember the name or find out anything about it.
Ideas anyone?
Hi – I remember this movie too. It’s been driving me crazy for YEARS! don’t know what it was called but think I must have watched it in about 1970 ( I was born in’65). I also remember that the girl had a wooden horse that she played with, & in the final scene she was galloping along the beach holding the horse. Does anyone reading this have any idea of the name of the film – PLEAZZZZZE!
Many thanks ~ Jan
Hi Everyone I am searching for a film I watched as a teenager many, many years ago. It was about some english gypsies and their little girl who who had a horse, and they were not allowed to breed it with a thoroughbred stallion, so they broke into the stud and made it happen. Does that ring a bell with anyone?

I am looking for a movie from when I was a child. All I can remember is that a young farm girl becomes secret friends with a wild stallion. I think everyone else wants to shoot it. I believe I saw it in the 1950’s or very early 60’s. I think she lives with relatives on the farm, but not sure. That at the moment is the only parts I can recall. Any out there have any ideas? Thanks.
I am looking from a B&W movie from the 1950’s or even 1940’s.
I think it may have John Wayne in it, but I’m not entirely certain.
It features a political breakdown between senators and some Native American nation causing an outbreak of war.
Then three divisions of cavalry converge on the above Native American nation to defeat them
Sorry, but that’s all the info I remember.
Thanks

I have scrolled through a lot of these comments and thought I would like to see some of these movies too. They just don’t make movies like they used to anymore. A lot on story and throw in a horse and a little romance and walah.
Looking for a film I saw as a young boy in the early sixties with a horse called Aspersel I would love to see it again thank you
I think the name of the movie was a Walt Disney’s The Horse in The Grey Flannel suit. Dean Jones starred in it. The horse was that of a grand prix jumper.
Looking for a movie about a group of teens/young adults who go to a riding academy. I can only remember that one girl was afraid to jump at first and she winds up hurting her foot after falling down a hill while riding.
The movie you’re thinking of is “The Horse Masters”
I saw a film in the cinema in, I think, 1969, or thereabouts..it was about a black racehorse named Coal..and a young man or a boy (I don’t remember exactly) and his friend (an older man) tried to train Coal to run fast but he was slow, unless he could smell pilchards ! So the boy and man held a tin of pilchards by the racetrack’s winning post to get Coal to win his race.. I wish I knew the name of the film and who the actors were but it was so long ago I doubt anyone else remembers it.. Does anyone know anything about this heartwarming film please ? p.s. I’ve read through your comments and have some faith that someone out there in horse-loving ‘fandom’ can help me learn the title of that lovely film..finger’s crossed and thankyou.
For years I remember watching this one horse movie on TV a long time ago. It was in black and white and there was a boy and his father and they lived on this horse farm. When the thoroughbred mare gives birth to twins the farm kept the one colt and called him Satan. However the other foal due to some type of deformity they were going to do away with when the boy and his father step in and take the colt. The boy would play music and sing songs to it on his guitar. One time they left the colt in the farm and he ended up putting a hole in the boy’s guitar. The colt they called Mr. marker. And they eventually had this operation done on his foot so that he could race. However he would only respond if whistled at. The two colts in Satan and Mr. marker ran in the same race and both owners were there to see him race. The jockey on Mr. Marker went to whistle when he lost his dentures and seeing the colt not moving up the boy let out a whistle and the colt accelerated past the rest of the field to win the race with Satan his brother placing 2nd. Does anybody happen to know what the name of this one is? It is not Run For The Roses as it is in color.
