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[...]
I was given a whole sackful of Effol and Effax products at the Boyd Martin clinic I attended. Up until I started writing this, I thought it was all the same brand name, despite the fact that I kept calling it by whatever product I was holding at the time (I was wondering why I seemed to keep getting[...]
If you are at all serious about jumping, or possibly even riding a horse, you know who George Morris is. He is impacted hunter/jumper riding in such a monumental way, it's impossible not to know who he is. One of my very first books on riding was George Morris's Hunter Seat Equitation. If you eve[...]
A long time ago, I ordered a set of monograms from Swanky Saddle. The products look amazing, and definitely add some class to whatever they are put on, so I was pretty excited to have them to stick on. When I finally got them, I was super excited, and stuck one of the monograms on right away. Then[...]
The horses are really picky about what they will eat, so they basically force me to buy this stuff. I tried giving them sticks, and small bits of lumber, but they didn't seem to think those were food. They will eat the processed pellets I provide, but they are so expensive, I decided to give hay[...]
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[...]
This movie just came out, and should not be lumped in with the Black Beauty from the 90's, because that one was pretty awesome. This one... I don't even know. But if you want to be included in my confusion/amusement, read on! But be warned, there was so much ??? that this is a long post. Our story[...]
I love horse movies, mainly because I love watching the the horses, but I also love watching the riding. And as every equestrian knows, sometimes the riding is laughably bad. A Gift Horse was no exception. When I first heard about this movie, I really wanted to like it. It looked like it could ju[...]
