Wow mssed my two favorites, i wanted a horse of my own after seeing the best ever movie Gypsy Colt 1954. Starring Donna Corcoran. My dreamhorse Gypsy. Just imagine your beautiful horse galloping through town to pick you up after school every day
Smoky 1946 with Fred McMurray. The best version of Will James classic. These beautifully filmed color movies are available

So many great horse movies but the Hallmark movie ‘The long shot’ from 2006 is definitely missing. An amazing an very touching story!

Oh my gosh, I must be getting old! My all time favorite is “Smokey the Cowhorse” a Will James story with Fred McMurray – not later one with Fess Parker. It is very very hard to find, I have a copy. About a horse who is trained to be a great cowpony by Fred McMurray and is stolen only to become a champion bucking horse. Fred pursues him and finally gives up after Smokey is injured. Smokey ends up being a junk wagon horse who Fred McMurray sees in the Cheyenne Frontier days parade and recognizes him and buys him and finally takes him home. The other favorite of mine is “Thunderhead, Son of Flicka” with Roddy McDowall. Outstanding movies!

The 1997 Disney movie “Flash” starring Lucas Black. It’s one of my favorites. It was directed by Simon Wincer, who also directed several horse movies including Phar Lap, The Cup, and The Young Black Stallion.

My favourite would be The black stallion. I saw it first when I was a child. After that I begin to ride horse.

My all time favorite always will be Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. I remember everyday after kindergarten I would come home and watch it! Whenever the horses showed up, there was a lift in my spirit!
