Hi im tring to find a movie about this girl who gets separated from her father and is sent to a little farm with her uncle. And her uncle gives her a little donkey as a present. And the middle of the movie her brother and uncle gets into a plane crash and the donkey comes and save her. So what is the movie called?
The movie is called storm rider.
Does anyone remember a 1990’s movie where both a black horse and young brown-haired girl break their legs? It is Autumn and a truck is pulling the horse trailer. The driver looses control of the truck and the horse trailer rolls down a hill. Horse survives, but is in critical condition. The horse has broken legs. The young girl has broken legs. The girl has casts placed on each leg, while the horse is attached to a sling set up in the barn. The girl looks out her bedroom window towards the barn and longs to be with the horse, but can no longer walk. Father comes into her bedroom and is angry that the girl is not trying to do physical therapy. Her bones are beginning to set. If she does not start physical therapy soon she will never walk again. Girl sees the family farm tracker (without driver) crash into barn were horse is. She wobbles outside and into barn to find horse alive, but down. She talks to the horse, encouraging it to walk. With the girl holding onto the lead rope, the horse stands up, pulling girl to her feet, and dragging her from the barn. Horse is healed from its injuries and can walk/run again. This gives hope and encouragement for the girl to make a full recovery too. At end of movie, both horse and girl can walk/ride again. What is the title of this movie?

The movie you are looking for is called “National Velvet” starring Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney.
re:
“The film I am trying to identify is of a horse called Pie and a girl who had to pretend to be a boy in order to be able to ride the horse.”
—National Velvet (a classic) 🙂
gillian shelper,
The movie you are trying to identify is called “National Velvet” (1945).
In the English coastal village of Sewels in Sussex, twelve-year-old Velvet Brown and her older sisters, Edwina and Malvolia, happily finish their last day of school before summer vacation. While walking home, Velvet meets young drifter Mi Taylor and strikes up a conversation with him. As the horse-crazy girl is talking to Mi, she sees a beautiful, rambunctious gelding being chased by its owner, farmer Ede, and is awestruck. When Ede then questions Mi about his business in Sewels in Sussex, Velvet, who is impressed by Mi’s knowledge of horses, insists that he has been invited to dine with her family. That evening at dinner, Mrs. Brown asks Mi, whom she has never before met, about an address book with her name written in it, and he reveals that it belonged to his now-deceased father. Although Mrs. Brown is deliberately secretive about her relationship with Mi’s father, she does invite Mi to spend the night in the stable. Velvet then tries in vain to convince her father Herbert, a butcher who prides himself on his thrift and self-control, to hire Mi as a delivery boy. When he and his wife discuss the matter later, however, the wise, persuasive Mrs. Brown easily changes his mind. Later, Velvet confesses to her mother that she has “fallen in love” with The Pie and asks her about Mi’s father. Mrs. Brown, a former swimmer, reveals that when she was twenty, Mi’s father was her devoted trainer and inspired her to swim the English Channel, a feat never before accomplished by a woman. Mrs. Brown adds that she declined to tell the obviously embittered Mi about his father because she felt that it was not the proper time to do so. Unaware that he has just stolen all of her mother’s savings from the kitchen, Velvet rushes to tell Mi the news about his new job and home. Mi covers up his theft and accepts the job, then, chagrined, sneaks back to the kitchen to return the money. Later, Velvet coaxes Mi into taking her on a delivery to farmer Ede’s, and on the way, Mi states that he was once thrown by a horse and now hates them. As they are watching The Pie in the field, the horse jumps Ede’s wall and dashes off toward town. After estimating the length of the horse’s jump, the astounded Mi mutters that The Pie could jump “Beecher’s Brook.” The Pie’s subsequent rampage through the village leads Ede to decide to raffle off the horse. Mr. Brown at first refuses to allow Velvet to participate in the raffle, but when Mi proudly announces that he has bought tickets for all of the children, Mr. Brown relents. Although Velvet confidently proclaims that her number, 62, is going to be selected, another number is drawn, and Velvet collapses with disappointment. Later, however, Velvet learns that when the winning number was not claimed, a second number, 62, was drawn, and she is awarded The Pie. Velvet then asks Mi about “Beecher’s Brook” and he reluctantly reveals that it is a difficult jump at the Grand National Steeplechase course. Velvet spends her first day with The Pie racing through the countryside, but her joy is cut short when her father insists that the horse earn his keep by pulling the delivery cart. As soon as he is hitched, however, The Pie bolts and destroys the cart, causing Mr. Brown to denounce Mi as a meddler. Later, Velvet reveals to Mi that she wrote away to the Aintree race course for entrance papers to the Grand National Steeplechase. Although Mi tries to discourage her, Velvet asks her mother for permission to enter the race, which includes a 100-pound entrance fee. After Mi admits that The Pie is good enough to win, Mrs. Brown gives Velvet the 100 pounds she earned for her Channel swim, which she has been saving in anticipation of a “breath-taking piece of folly” like The Pie. Mrs. Brown and Velvet then entrust Mi to deliver the money to Aintree, and although he is tempted to abscond with it while in London, Mi carries out his assignment, impressing even Mr. Brown. When Mi tells Velvet that he was unable to find a jockey or a trainer in London, she persuades him to train the horse by promising him one-half of any Grand National winnings. Over the next several months, Velvet and Mi, a former jockey, rigorously train The Pie. During the winter, The Pie becomes seriously ill, and the entire Brown family worries as Mi struggles to save him. The Pie survives, and come spring, Velvet and Mi leave for Aintree. There they meet with Ivan Taski, a Latvian jockey whom Mi hired through the mail. Taski’s lackluster attitude toward the race convinces both Velvet and Mi that they cannot win with him, and on the eve of the contest, they find themselves with no jockey. Velvet then tries to convince Mi to ride The Pie, but he tearfully refuses, explaining that during a race in Manchester, he pushed his horse too hard and caused a collision that resulted in the death of another jockey. Later, however, when Mi is alone with The Pie, he realizes he must challenge his fears in order to make Velvet’s dream come true. After riding The Pie around the track, Mi rushes to tell Velvet that he wants to race, but discovers that she has donned jockey clothes and is determined to ride the race herself. Although Mi tells her that she will be disqualified, Velvet insists that Mi cut her hair and help her with her impersonation. Claiming not to speak English, Velvet convinces the officials that she is Taski and undertakes the arduous race, with The Pie at one-hundred-to-one odds. As horse after horse drops out, Velvet steadily gains ground and wins the race, cheered on by a joyful Mi. Just after finishing, however, Velvet collapses from exhaustion, and the track doctor soon discovers her true sex. As predicted, The Pie is disqualified, but Velvet is nonetheless heralded as a hero throughout England and earns the nickname “National Velvet.” Later, back in Sewels in Sussex, Velvet is besieged by lucrative job offers, including one from a Hollywood film studio. Velvet is tempted by the offer until she learns that the studio also wants The Pie. Fearing that The Pie would be made into a sideshow, Velvet tells her father she is not interested. Mr. Brown is angered by Velvet’s decision until Mrs. Brown explains that Velvet knows intuitively that her time in the limelight must be brief and dignified. Soon after, as Mi is packing to go, Mr. Brown admits that he always mistrusted him, but is now proud to have known him. Mi leaves the Brown home without saying goodbye, but a grateful Velvet races after him, sure that the proper time has come to tell him about his father.

I have an addition to the list: Flicka 2..
xoxo
there is also Friesians the movie
trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYdtKw5gZtI
Also forgotten made for tv movie Bluegrass. It was a two-part TV movie that resurrected virtually every “racetrack” cliche known to man. Widowed Cheryl Ladd heads to Kentucky to start up a horse farm. Her wicked neighbor is Wayne Rogers who seeks Ladd’s downfall. Faithful farm manager Brian Kerwin won’t let Rogers stand in the way of Ladd’s dream. Anthony Andrews hangs around as a Harlequin romance-style Irish rake with a Dark Secret. And what would a horse-farm movie be without Mickey Rooney? Part One of Bluegrass raised a stir upon its February 28, 1988 debut, with a brief shot of horses mating. But it was the foaling sequence in Part Two that really made the headlines. All tangled plotlines knot together in the second half of Bluegrass. Part Two, first telecast on Leap Year day in 1988, Ladd literally bets the ranch on the Kentucky Derby, while mysterious Irish stranger Anthony Andrews reveals his (gasp!) terrible secret. One of the film’s highlights was the genuine birth of a foal. The poor animal looked so shaky that the network issued an official statement insisting that the newborn horse survived. When the truth came out (the foal didn’t make it), the producers were heartily condemned by animal activist groups–which may be why all current films bear the closing disclaimer about no animals being injured during shooting. Bluegrass was directed by Simon Wincer, who later helmed the epic miniseries Lonesome Dove.
theres also a movie called pharlap based on a true story,an australian horse back in the 1920s i think i could be wrong on that .good movie,

Sandra
Wild Hearts Can’t be broken is a great movie about a girl who runs away from home…who gets a job diving horses…than goes blind and continues to dive!!!
I have watched most of these movies and they are awesome… but i was wondering if anyone knew of any other childrens horse movies, like Spirit? My daughter is 2 and after the ba-gillion-enth time of watching spirit i finally decided watch flicka with her. She absolutly loved it, until the lion attacked and she saw the horse on the ground bleeding :/ she cried herself to sleep, it was pittiful. needless to say, i have decided to stick to cartoon movies, but now i have to watch spirit all hours of the day. can anyone help lol?
ohmigosh. i am 13 and love that movie but my bros and sis’s think it is a stupid movie so i don’t watch it that much but i think it is time to get it out again
What about series about horses like
Trainer a BBC series
Snowy River
Star Runner and series about a trotter.
i love the movie man from snowy river and return to snowy river. great movies but they could have chosen a better actress for the girl.
I think Igrid Thornton was perfect for the role. It was an Australian movie and they hired Australian actors. I own both Man from Snowy River and return to Snowy River. Tom Burlinson was the perfect male lead for the role too.
Looking for a movie about a young unhappy teen who goes to stay at his Granpa’s ranch. Because the boy has such a bad attitude, his Grandpa takes him on a horse trip in the country.

Looking for a movie where a young girl’s mom was killed in an accident. She blamed her father. She became out of control and her father sent her to spend time with her grandfather on a working horse ranch. Her grandfather was not a real loving man at first and in his effort to ‘tame his granddaughter’ put her to work with all the other ranch hands. After time both she and grandpa warmed up to each and she became a lovely young lady who loved horses. Saw it on TV last year. Would love to buy the DVD. Thanks for any info.
The movie is called All Roads Lead Home i bought it from target for 5 bucks it was okay

The Wild Stallion
Wind Dancer
Wild Hearts
Into the West (Irish Boys and their horse)
Does anyone know if they came out with the second Spirit movie? I heard at one time they were suppose to.
Hi the movie you are looking for its called Horse Sense with the law student being sent to his aunt

I’m looking for a movie about a young girl who becomes paralyzed. She was riding on top of trailer load of square bales and her father wrecks the trailer. I think it was a made for TV movie. I thought the title was “The sun always rises”? Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Kelli
The movie you are looking for is called: “Everything that Rises” 1998 starring Dennis Quaid as Jim Clay, Mare Winningham as wife Kyle, and Ryan Merriman as their teenage son Nathan.
There is no girl who becomes paralyzed. Nathan, the son, is who becomes paralyzed.
“Everything That Rises” came out originally as a TNT TV movie and was produced by Warner Brothers.

You need to add Secretariat to the list. I just watched it and I feel it is great. I remember watching the real race on TV. The post scripts about the real people I also enjoy.
thankyou thankyou..found the tilte of the Dressage movie ( DarkHorse)that I have been looking for ..Now just to find it on DVD???..great website
Amazon has The Dark Horse
what website JO-Ann?
Duh this site?

Has anyone seen it? The trailers look cute.
you can watch horse crazy to at this site it is so good.

Is “Gallant Bess” and “Adventures of Gallant Bess” the same movie or is “Adventures of Gallant Bess” a remake? Thanks!
Does anyone remember the movie entitled: “Alexander” 2004 starring Colin Farrell as Alexander, Angelina Jolie as Olympias, Val Kilmer as Philip, and Anthony Hopkins as Old Ptolemy?
Anyway, Alexander rides this BEAUTIFUL big, black Friesian horse called Bucephalus all throughout the movie.
There is an AWEsome scene where the horse rares up against an elephant!
At the end of the movie, the people make a stone statue of Alexander riding Bucephalus in remembrance of them.
Personally, I feel that the movie was more about the horse than Alexander.
International Velvet is a modern day sequel and carry on from National Velvet. Big time tear jerker scene at the end, moreso if you’ve seen National Velvet.
Good read
Oh.. forgot, there’s a series called Wildfire on http://www.hulu.com Quite a few episodes of a girl and her horse. More modern day on a ranch that has racehorses and ranch horses. Horse accuracy leaves a bit to the imagination but it’s a good watch for horse lovers.
Aingeal – I think you may be thinking of “Horse Sense” (1999) which was a Disney Channel movie featuring the Lawrence brothers.
I’ve been looking for the movie ‘Horses and Champions’ (1994) to buy or watch online however I cant find it anywhere. Can anyone help me?
I really liked the movie Secretariat! If anyone is looking for a movie about a racing horse Secretariat is great!
umm i believe you had a typo in the description about the Long Shot. You said it was a racehorse but really it is a dressage horse. just thought id let you know.
I remember this movie from when I was very little about a boy and his sister who go to some island to be with their grandparents, and there were wild horses there. I think they tamed one and rode it in a race at the end….it was a long time ago…lol
Jackie,
That movie is based on the book by Marguerite Henry called “Misty of the Chincoteague”. Wonderful book and good movie too.
Its ‘SECRETARIAT’ ALL THE WAY
The movie Ruffian is really good too. Its about another racehorse.
Another great movie is “The Rogue Stallion” …. I loved it.
SECRETARIAT!!! (2011)WATCH IT! I WAS IN IT! IT IS LIKE DOUBLE DOUBLE x100 AWESOME!!!
Secretariat was OK, but it wasn’t nearly as good as Sea Biscuit. Honestly we like Flicka Country Pride better.

I’m trying to find a movie i watched like 4 years ago. It’s set around the moonlanding but produced during 20–.It starts with a boy watching the moonlanding with his mother. then they get a letter saying that the boys father has died. the boys joins a gang, but his mother takes him to a ranch where he meets other kids who have problems. i think one of them had just found out she was adopted. Anyway, a horse dies and then another one escapes. The owner is injured and can’t look for it, but some of the kids team up and go into the wilderness to look for it. They almost get attacked my wolves, but find the horse in the end. the movie ends happily but i can’t remember the title. Please Help!!!!
I am trying to get the name of the Movie where a little girl who has a special gift (true story) her mother moves her to a farm where she learn the horses to move around farm thru a gate The Movie won an Oscar i believe last year. Can anyone help me?
Horse Crazy and Virginia’s run is on youtube.com
Just watched Secretariat, absolutely amazing! A truly brilliant film for an outstanding horse
Hey guys, LOVE THE FILMS: SECRETARIAT, FLASH, SEABISCUIT, SPIRIT ETC! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOoOooOOoOOooooooo!
where is secretariat?? that’s inspired by a true story. It’s a great movie;)
There was a book similar to that, Called Tall and Proud…Did they make it into a movie?
I’m looking for a movie I saw on tv about a boy who rides his horse across America to get to a big race. His adventures and dangers along the way are really exciting and memorable.
Hi all. I am looking for an older movie, maybe from the 40’s or 50’s. This young boy is working to buy a horse or colt from this older gentleman for Sulky racing. He eventually races either the Mother or his cold (I can’t remember). He gets cut-off by “the syndicate” and after the race, he goes and kicks the other driver’s butt. In the meantime, his horse goes blind, but he races her anyway and wins. It is sort of like “April Love”, which is one of my favorites that didn’t make the list, but that isn’t it. If anyone know what I am talking about, it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Its driving me nuts. Thanks in advance.
there is also a series called heartland its really good, all about horses. there is about four seasons in total x
I love the colt!!!!it is so sad and beautiful:-)
Hey I was just looking at all the films and I noticed that some of the horses racing films are what inspired me to create a blog. Please have a look. I challenged myself to draw all the famous race horses in history. I know I probably have not included all of them but I welcome anyone’s favourites to join my list all the drawings are up at the side of it and I also draw pets for people. It takes about a week but I love it and always try and take as little time as possible. Thanks

Hi,
Firstly, what a fabulous website you have. I have saved it to favourites 🙂
Secondly, the latest best horse film has to be Warhorse (2011) based on a 1982 Michael Morpurgo childrens book. Directed by Steven Speilberg, it’s a real tearjerker .There is plenty about it on the net.
Thank-you for all the time and effort you have put in to make this such a great place to visit.
Best Regards,
Teg

Hi, does anyone remember a movie that had a scene where there is a circus (i think and there is s carousel and all the horses come to life and jump off of it. Also a movie where there is a black horse (stallion) warmblood type and a child on a boat, the boat goes up in flames and the horse and child become stranded on a beach the horse kills a snake to save the child?
The second movie is the black stallion: the origional movie
hey guys, when i was younger there used to be a video where there were horses that could talk. they lived on a farm and i think there were either 3 or 4?? anyone know what it was called as really want to find it!!

I know this is not a movie its a book but its really good. Its called gunner hurricane horse
There is a movie I forgot the name of and its about a black horse that is blind and the lady does dressage and has to use a sorrel horse named red but her ex-husband hits red with a shovel in the leg then ends up showing her blind horse.
Does anyone know the name of that movie?
that’s the long shot, the one listed above.
Hi, you missed a movie
called war horse its from 2011 or 2012, I can’t real remember.
But its about at poor family, where the father of the family, buys a horse for working. But the horse he had brought, is to weak. And it is young.
But the son of the family, is a fighter, and he is training with the horse, so the family can use the horse as a worker.
But the war is off, and the military, want all the horses of the town. The horse is sent with the military, as a young, strong horse.
The movie is about that the horse is surviving trough the war, and if you watch the movie you will find out, if he returns to his home. (-:
War horse; is very good.
such as “the horse whisper“
Hi,
I’m looking for a movie i think is called The dark horse…
Its pretty new but i cant find it anywhere. do you know what i is called?
I think you should add Secretariat and Warhorse 😉
They’re amazing 🙂
Heartland and Wildfire are really good too!
Hi. I remember watching a movie a long time ago.

Does anyone remember this? It would help alot it’s driving me crazy!

I saw a movie when I was a kid I cant remember all of it but I know the horse was born durring a lightening storm and its mom died and the little girls dad gets her to feed the horse and take care of it. And im pretty sure he goes to sell it when its older caused they cant afford it and the girl is too attached and enters a race to win money so she can keep him. Anyone know which one im talking about? I think I saw it on the family channel like 8 yrs ago.
It sounds like the movie Virginia’s Run

Hi,
There was a movie i remember watching with my mother, when I was a child, I dont know its name but the father owned a ranch the mother had died years ago, his daughter had a brilliant bond with a young black colt, they had bred themselves. I think throughtout the movie the family runs into financial difficulty and could lose the ranch. The horse gets sold to pay outstanding debts and that is all I remember. I am sure it ends well, but really would like to watch this movie with my daughter. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP 🙂

I’m sure there are more…but these are the ones I have.
I have a question…
The movie “Adventures on Grizzly Mountain” has the story of the movie “Horse Crazy” and “Horse Crazy Too” in it. So… the parents’ farm is threatened to be taken away by the bank (foreclosure like in “Horse Crazy Too”). Meanwhile, the parent’s friend tells a story about how they set out to capture mustangs, they caught someones prized paint stallion, The General, they return him to the owner (like in the movie “Horse Crazy”) then they capture the horse thieves who are trying to steal The General’s only colt, a prized colt called Prince (like in the movie “Horse Crazy Too”, except i don’t know if there were any thieves in “Horse Crazy Too”, or if the colt’s name was Price).
Help? I’m really confused now…
Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew this movie – I never watched it in full because I forget the name but I remember the parts I have watched –
It’s about this girl and her mother who move from her house in the city to her mother’s parent’s ranch. The girl, who is in her teens is a goth and is quite rude and when they get into her mother’s home town she stops for food in a resturant where she meets someone she knew a long time ago, (I can’t remember who), but I think he was a retired sheriff and his grandson, who is the girls age.
The town is in the middle of a drought and nothing is going too well for her grandparents because (I think) their land is wanted by some weathy man who wants to build a casino but the refuse to sell it.
Anyway, thats as much as I remember, I’m not entirily sure when I watched this either or if it’s like two different movies together but yeah. Thanks anyway.
“Wild Horse, Wild Ride” (2012) should be on the list. It is a documentary about the mustang 100 day challenge.
I’m looking for a movie with a race horse, 2 old men, and a child. At some point the horse is stolen. One of the men is sick and has a close relationship with the horse. Sorry-pretty vague. Any ideas?
Does anyone know a movie where bad guy steals a breeding book and the mans daughter in order to squire his prized stallion. I also remember them covering a grey with oil trying to pass it off as the stallion… I can’t place it!!
That movie is Hidalgo
am looking for a movie about a California teen who is looking for her cowboy father.. she saw a picture of him however when she is on his ranch she fell in love with a wild stallion…i only saw a small clip and i cant place it
I saw a movie when I was younger. I cant remember much about the script but I remember there was a girl that was being difficult (maybe an orphan sent to a family members’ house?) There was a black horse in it and the name was something like Raising Arizona. Saving Arizona. Something….Arizona I believe… any ideas? Sorry for the lack of info. I do remember it was a grainy old movie about the same video quality of the orignal “flicka/misty/national velvet” era. Kinda had an old western feel to it.

Im not sure if I am remembering this correctly but I recall a movie about a young girl that had her leg amputated by some kind of farm machine and after training and reconditioning with the help of a young boy she was able to ride a horse again I watched this on television it was years ago . I watched the horse whisperer thinking that was the movie and was disappointed to find it was not the movie though I did enjoy that film . Hope you can help me.. Thank you 🙂
The Colt is the best movie I saw from this list.
