In Disney’s black beauty, they said that black beauty was a mustang, even though she looks like a thoroughbred, with her rectangle head and skinny legs. Also, a girl named Jo galloped bareback on black beauty, even though she had no experience with horses or horse riding!!!!!!

I know this is a really old post, but I hate how in “War Horse”, Joey gets up and RUNS to his master even though he literally just ripped himself to shreds on barbed wire. It’s my belief he would have died from those wounds, or in the very least been listless and full of pain. No way would he have responded to a whistle! (Also, don’t you think tetanus would have set in by then?)

When they climb in the saddle and the saddle makes all those metallic noises that no saddle would ever make.

I think this was very true. How about the Wild Black Stallion that no one can get near or catch. During one of the dramatic scenes, the wild stallion is galloping, stops and rears up and has 4 shiney shoes on its hooves, but nobody can get near him. LOL

Wild horses scenes and you can see the shoes as they are running away.

Lonesome Dove – the “Hell Bitch” was a gelding… really you couldn’t find a mare for the part??? But otherwise the series had good horse continuity, the right riders on the right horses at the right times

When mares in horse movies give birth in like 30 seconds. Annoying and funny at the same time!

Joe Cartwright must have had a whole herd of pintos. But I still loved Bonanza and Michael London.

You for the horse that rears and stomps something to death—a snake, wolf or human. I thought that War Horse, the movie was a realistic depiction. It think about 6,000,000 horses died in WWI.

It always bugs me when they use 4 or 5 different horses for the same part and they aren’t the same color or sex. Good grief those who grew up with horses knows the difference and if you are paying so much to see the film, look at it before you send it off. Just saying.
