They may entertain us, touch our hearts or inspire us, but deep down, we are judging them. That's right, I'm back again with more Disney horses to analyze! Part 1 included Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Frozen. But there's just so many horses to analyze, I couldn't put them all in one pos[...]
If you have children, or were possibly once a child yourself, you've seen a Disney movie. They are next to impossible to avoid, unless you live on a remote rock in the middle of the ocean. But if you're also an equestrian, chances are that you watched these movies while also critiquing the horses,[...]
A horse is a horse, of course, of course And no one can talk to a horse, of course That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed! We all know the theme song, even if some of use weren't even alive when the show aired. For those who might not know, the song is from a show from the 1[...]
I realized recently that a long time ago, I posted an overview for one of The Saddle Club movies. I was full of promises for more, and then I never did another one. I know this must have devastated everyone, so it's time to revisit that glorious time of our lives when we lived vicariously through t[...]
I mentioned the other day that a new horse movie has been released, the sequel to a movie I posted about many years ago. Well, as one of the benefits of being "media" (yes, that's me), I got a screener of it. Next time, start a horse blog, review horse movies, hope for a sequel to one of them[...]
International Velvet is the sequel to National Velvet, an adorable old film about a girl who races her horse in the Grand National. I loved National Velvet - part of that is nostalgia to watching it as a kid, and part of it is that it's just a good movie! After recently re-watching National Velvet[...]
Originally I was planning on reviewing this movie like I've reviewed horse movies in the past - basically, pointing out all the absurd plot points and inaccurate horse information. But, this is actually a good movie, and I just can't. I first saw this movie as a kid, and I loved it then. I lo[...]
With a new movie coming, Dream Alliance is being thrust into the spotlight again. A horse, bred and raised in a former mining village in Wales and owned by working class owners, somehow ended up winning the Welsh Grand National, and competing in some of the greatest steeplechases in the world. It w[...]
I read The Saddle Club growing up, and I loved them. I don't think I read every single one of them, but I read at least 60% of them. They were great for a kid fantasizing about having her own horse. I even loved that their vague location of, "40 minutes outside of DC in Virginia," was exactly where[...]
I've had this draft sitting since January. At first I was super excited because it had just come out, and I was going to be the first to make fun of review it. But now it's been months, and I may or may not be the first. But anyway, here are my thoughts, with some revisions since the first time I wr[...]
