FLICKA

Another favorite horse movie of mine would have to be Flicka. Anybody who loves horses would love this movie. In this movie this girl wants a horse that nobody else wants. I think this movie is so inspirational as in fighting for what you want. Flicka is a beautiful horse that stands for more than just a horse. She stands for everything that is pure and innocent in this world.

 

High Ho Silver....AWAY!!

Silver was a hero. He was known for his beauty and his grace while running. This horse was the Lone Ranger's side kick. This horse was solid white but what made his beauty was the saddle that the Lone Ranger uses. Its black with silver pieces on it, and with that it made him absolutely stunning.

Dances with Wolves

     This horse has got to be one of my favorite famous horses of all times. I actually named my mule after this horse.  In the movie Dances with Wolves this horse did an amazing job. People don't understand just how talented this horse was. I mean the stunts that he did was tremendous. One scene during the movie this horse in running in a pack of buffalo while John ( the rider) dropped his reins and was shooting a rifle. One, if that was my horse I would be threw off. And two, this horse didn't care that he was being in control. He just did what he was trained to do.

The Heart of a Champion

    That is true when we talk about the horse Secretariat, or Big Red (which was his  barn name). This horse had the heart and drive of a champion. The size of this horse was unbelievable. He ate as much feed as five pregnant mares put together. Secretariat was the only animal, ever, to be accepted in as one of ESPN'S greatest athletes. There will never be another horse like Secretariat. The most amazing thing about this horse is his owner got him by flipping a coin. No other horse has ever even came close to the time that Secretar raced at the derby.

Famous Horses

From here on out, I thought it would be neat to upload new post each week that deals with horses that are famous. Each horse that I list will either be one that did an amazing feat, or is just an all around good horse. I think this is interesting because a lot of people don't know the story behind these amazing horses. I hope you all enjoy this because I know I sure do.

The horse Hidalgo is a legend himself. He was in a 100 mile race. That distance is almost to much for a horse to handle. It wasn't in his favor for him to win and a lot of people put him and his owner down for even competing in the race... Hidalgo had the heart of a champion and beat all the other horses even though many tried to hurt him during the race just so he'd loose. Hildalgo had mustand blood in him. He has speed, agility, and endurance, which was all this horse needed to win the race.
