    I’m looking for a movie about a native american who finds an abandoned spanish horse and tries to ride it, there is no talking in the movie, just narration. He has never seen a horse before. It starts off with the native american hearing the jingling of harness but can’t see anything because the horse is behind a hillock. It is factually incorrect but a beautiful film.

    HI, many years ago i saw a foreign horse movie on tv that was really beautiful and i’ve been trying to find it since with no luck. i would guess that the movie was made in the 70s or the 80s (maybe early 90s) and its about a couple of children that are spending there summer on the countryside visiting their grandparents. one of the children has a wild horse that he is trying to tame (but fails) and one of the other children secretly starts visiting the horse and manages to ride him.. the language spoken in the movie is either spanish or portuguese and movie takes place in spain or argentina.

      Sorry Samantha i replied to the wrong one Dark Horse was for someone else I believe Flash is yours a Disney movie. He gets FLash before his father leaves on a ship his grandmother dies so to get her a nice casket he sells his horse to a rich family who he is somewhat friends with. He starts to work for them to have a place to live and so he can help the rich boy ride Flash. But because the rich boy didnt win something he takes his frustrations out on the horse and whips him so the original owner steals Flash away and makes a long journey to New York to meet his dad and set things right.

    I saw a horse movie sometime from 73-77. It was filmed in KY, I recall a scene of them driving down North Broadway in Lexington. One line I can remember was, “A lame colt is a useless colt, you want him? You can have him.” They put a staple in one of its knees, and after rehab and lots of training, began racing it, and winning. The original owner then wanted the horse back and tried stealing it. During one theft attempt, one of the thieves was knocked over a rail and the sedative he was carrying was administered in his butt by one of the good guys. Im sure its out of print, but if anyone recalls this movie, I’d like to know the name of it.

    I have been looking for a movie about a wild horse who is very smart. An old man and I believe his grandson are trying to capture him. They run him towards a box canyon after they rope him. The horse rears up scraping the rope on the side of the canyon til the rope snaps. While they are tracking him, he back tracks on his own hoof prints. I keep thinking the horse’s name is Cheyene, but not sure. I think I saw this movie sometime in the 80’s.

    My english akcent and writing are bad… but i’ll try to tell you what I’m looking for. This movie starts a long time ago (I watched it
    in 1993). I don’t know even production of this movie, neither spoken language in it.
    On the beginning of the movie, one black haired boy (maybe about 14 years old – I will call him “bad boy”) and horse (I think black horse) were on grass. Boy was resting. He was tired, or something. Beside boy, there was a mini-radio on batteries. Than music starts on radio, and horse disturbed. He started to jump. “Bad boy” tried to calm horse down. But, he couldn’t. He told him (something like that): ,,Do you like music?” But, the horse suddenly jumped away, and throw down his owner. He had no rope now, he was free! Horse ran away. “Bad boy” was calling horse, but… (Come back here! – he said this)
    Nothing happened.
    Afted a while…. another boy, maybe about 13 years old (“our hero” because I don’t know his name) and his mother were on horse racing. A lot of people was there. Everybody could to make a bet on each horse. Of course, everyhing depends of money. “Our hero” wanted it too, but his mother says: ,,We don’t have a money.”
    “Our hero” was in a very bad confilct with a “bad boy”. I don’t know how everything started, but… One day, “bad boy” had pierced tire on bicycle of “our hero”. “Our hero” couldn’t drive the bicycle. He had to run. And after this… They fought! In the horse stable. “Our hero” told to “bad boy”: ,,You pierced tire on my bike!” ,,Bad boy” just said (something like that): ,,Really?”
    ,,Our hero” had pushed ,,bad boy” and he felled in the bathing tub.
    ,,Bad boy” was all wet!
    Mother and son (,,our hero”) now were in the yard. “Our hero” was worried. Mother asked him what is it about. “Our hero” answered (something like that): ,,I beated with one chief (main) boy.”
    But… what happened after? ,,Bad boy” was in the stable and cutted the saddle (not the whole, just the part saddle under the horse). When “our hero” took that cutten saddle… and had putted it on horse…. After a long trip, saddle had broke up. “Our hero” felled down. Horse ran away again…
    I don’t remember how everyhing ends.
    If anybody knows title of this movie… i will be very thankful.

    I was reading something about Sargent Reckless and was reminded of a movie I saw in the theater during the seventies. It was of a chestnut/red horse going to war, wwII or Korea I think. The main character in this movie befriended said horse, I belive he had a horse at home that this particular horse reminded him of. Just curious if this rings a bell to anyone.

    Hi
    I’m looking for a film – it was similar to war horse. I watched it on TV a few christmases ago. Haven’t seen the play or new film, but my mom saw the play when it first came out, and I remembered the film.
    The horse starts out life belonging to a lad. It then goes off to war. I remember one part is when the horse is sold to a landlord to pay for food and drink for some of the soldiers. The last part is that the horse has been sold for carrying coal and the grown up boy recognises him and buys him back.
    Because of War horse I can’t find it when I google. Could any one help

El indio quería domar al caballo y el caballo era indomable, hasta que llegaron los soldados confederados y tomaron preso al indio junto al caballo, uno de los militares se hizo amigo del indio. al final el coronel o capitán iban a matar al caballo, y el indio se puso entre el militar y el caballo, entonces iba a matar a los dos entonces el soldado amigo del indio se interpuso entre el indio y el otro soldado… La historia de la película esta basada en 1860 más o menos. Es antigua la hicieron como 1950 o 60′.

    I saw a movie years ago, and as far as I know, it was only on TV that one time. It’s about a father who is writing or talking about his Daugherty who dies while she’s riding a horse. He knows she would say that he was crazy because she never gets thrown from a horse. I THINK her name was Mary, but I can’t be sure, and I cannot remember the title. I’m dying to find that movie, and I don’t even know for sure if it was in the ’70s but I know it wasn’t the ’80s… could have been the late ’60s too.

    I’m wondering if Anyone knows of a Disney show about a white pony and 2 kids are fighting over who owns it. A little disabled girl or a little boy. I saw it about 25 years ago. Thanks.

      I feel awful I have this movie and cannot find it! IT is set in Australia and a poor boy owns the horse and the horse gets away and the crippled girl takes it and trains it to pull a cart….they end up going to court and the girl loses the pony because it went to the boy but he shares the pony with her.. She is wealthy he is poor. maybe Ride The Wild Pony? I think thats right…

    Hi I am trying to find the name of a horse movie I saw when I was young. I can’t remember much, it was about a women who has a horse that is a show jumper. At the end of the movie she had a big comp and their is a really high jump that she has to clear. I think it may have been a tv movie made in the 70’s or 80’s

    Any ideas??

    Here is another Disney film about a gaited horse,“Cristobalito, The Calypso Colt.” Filmed in Puerto Rico about Paso Fino horses and their smooth gaits!
    And what about Run, Appaloosa, Run? Another Disney movie about an Indian girl who races this horse! Both are good movies!

    Does anyone remember a movie called “Racing Blood?” If I remember it was about a twin foals born. The runt was ordered to be destroyed but a young boy and stable hand hid the foal and raised it up and I believe switched it in a race. I would love to have this movie!

    I have little detail of my horse movie memory but here is some info i am hoping will help find the movie i am looking for. .I was in middle school. Late 70’s to early 80’s. We were punished during school and no longer able to watch Mulligan Stew so our teachers made us watch another film. It was a man stuck in a terrible storm with a horse. He was screaming somethings. I belirve he was screaming at the horse. They may have been stuck in the mud/ I do not know any more than this. Wish I could give more.

    Okay, this movie might have been a TV movie. But it was a movie about a black horse was kept in the dark and was abused and this girl kept saying “we have to take it” blah blah blah and they finally got it, and it had scars everywhere on that horse and it was wild and hated people and they put it in one of the high wall circle pens things. (Sorry if I get names for stuff wrong, I’m not a horse person) and they finally tamed it by rubbing the harness on the horse’s neck after pinning it down to let the horse know the harness and tacking them up wasn’t gonna hurt him. They washed him and he was this beautiful black horse. It’s a great movie and I want to watch it again but don’t remember the title.

    Hello all,

    My mother is looking for a 70’s (she believes) romance movie with a beautiful Appaloosa horse in it. A young white woman falls in love with a young native man and his horse after some sort of conflict that leaves her in the wilderness.

    Sadly, my mother doesn’t remember any actors names’ only the breed of horse and that the romance is short lived but beautiful. They both part ways at the end but she sees her young lover riding on the beloved horse.

    Any help is appreciated and Thank You in advance,
    Michelle
