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[...]
It's been a while, but I've been inspired by yet another bizarre horse movie. I don't know what the producer's inspiration for this movie was, but I'm thinking someone just owned a really nice mule, and thought to themselves, "This mule is a born star! It should have its own movie." Thus, this movie[...]
You may be thinking, why is Courtney doing yet another movie review? She must have no life to write about. And you would be right! I have nearly nothing of interest going on, but I probably will next week, so perhaps check back then, you know, if you feel like it... and you're not too busy...[...]
I get so excited watching these horse movies. Now it's time for yet another one! Sadly, this one was actually pretty minimal on actual horse interaction, and I'm going to (grudgingly) admit it's really not that bad of a movie. If you like stories of criminal teenagers getting their acts together, e[...]
