great movie.

racing movie.

enter her horse, Pie, in the Grand National Steeplechase. Critic Pauline
Kael called it "One of the most likeable movies of all time."

Understanding
The Horse
This video utilizes years of experience dealing with horses plus the
wild horses of Shackleford Island, North Carolina, to explore the characteristics
of the horse as it was designed to be - how it eats, lives, interacts,
and survives. This understanding of the horse as a natural animal is
then compared with some of the most popular ways of keeping and dealing
with horses, and a more natural way of keeping horses is discussed. |
