Dvd's

[Frances]

11 year old daughter, Daisy, has got a portable dvd player (rich godfather, lucky girl).

Daisy is really into horses and has her own, trains her own, etc. She wants horsey dvd's to watch.

Can anyone recommend any good horsey films (remember for 11 year old girl) like Seabiscuit, etc.

Much appreciated.
Frances

Black Beauty:D

[Slewgal]

The Black Stallion comes to mind.

National Velvet's really good.

[Anth.P]

Hidalgo!
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

:D

[kedwards]

Man from Snowy River
The Horse with the Grey Flannel Suit (silly Disney movie, but cute)

[DITZ]

National Velvet or what about the one about Bob Champion I cant remember what its called.

[laura jeanne]

Has anyone seen International Velvet? It has Tatum O'Neil in it. I caught the end of it on TV a couple of weeks ago.

[Dreamchaser]

Ya, I have seen both International Velvet and National Velvet, and I own National Velvet on DVD! I love it! Oh, I also liked The Horse in the Grey Flannel Suit

Phar Lap!

[amadeorider]

The horse whisperer

[galadriel]

"Wild Hearts Can't be Broken" is a rather cheesey made for TV movie, but would probably be just right for a horse crazy 11-yr-old. I have no idea if it would be available on DVD though.

If it's anything like the book, I wouldn't recommend it to an 11 year old!!

[Slewgal]

I'ts not.:D I like the movie better.

As for Black Beauty, I'd say only if you want to traumatize her. I still can't watch it without blubbering throughout the whole thing.

[shaka]

She'd have to be a pretty mature 12 year old to watch the Horse Whisperer, my sister can't watch it without freaking at the blood and she is 12.

Black Beauty is a classic!

Ahhh, well what do I know. At age 9 my favorite movies where Jaws and Beetlejuice. I was introduced to blood at an early age.:D I'd probably seen about every Chuck Norris movie around by then too.

[samfrench32]

The film with john hurt as bob champion is fantastic I've just finished wathing it actually, what thats what saturdays are about lol

It is!! I rented it alot of times when I was younger...i didn't know it was "made for TV". Anyway, it's a really cute movie, especially for a youngster! :) I'm happy to see this list, too, cause I can never think of any good horsey movies to watch!

[april]

my all time favorite has got to be......
Dances With Wolves,it's not good if you don't like crying though.Incidently there are actually two forms of black beauty out there

[nat17]

Well, I cried through 'Spirt' and cant watch it ever again, it gets me just thinking about it!! But your daughter might like it;)

[james]

The film "Knight's Tale" is good and suitable for all ages.

[beckz_xx]

i no someone has already said this but SPIRIT STALLION OF THE CIMARRON!! as i am 11 and i love it!! :) :) :)

[Stephanopolis]

I know its not a horsey film but its close to it!! Racing Stripes!!! She would love it!!! Its a really good film!! im 16 and could watch it over and over again!!

The Horse Whisperer is a really good film but it makes me cry!! lol!! But so does the fox and the hound, homewouldbound(sp) the one with the animals who go in search of their owners!!

Yes im a 16yr old wimpy girl! lol!! i cry at anything!!

[dancing-horse]

Seabiscuit is OK, but I would be careful because of some language and stuff. What about some of the saddle club movies or episodes, she might like them. Horse whisperer is good, but there it's a bit gory in the beginning. Black beauty is defintely a good option and what about Spirit?

[Drummers mum]

Ok, help me out, I can think of 2 but haven,t got a clue what they are called. One is about a girl and her horse and she does mad stunt riding and jumps him off a high dive platform into a pool of water! and the other is about a young boy and his pony, its set on some moors somewhere and I,d say it was 60s I remember it as a real tear jerker but really good!

Im not much help am I :o

Edit: Love the Black Stallion btw and there is a sequal, the Black Stallion returns! I have all the books apart from number 9 :( :o :D

[galadriel]

The diving girl/horse movie (unless there's another) is "Wild Hearts Can't be Broken," which I mentioned earlier. I like that one quite a lot...

[LindaAd]

What about some instructional or non-fiction DVDs? Sylvia Loch's are good, and there are lots about different breeds of horses, different disciplines and so on? Do they have to be fiction?

[Drummers mum]

Oo o o o , I've got one, Year of the Dartmoor Hill pony, you can get it from their web site I think and all the money goes to the charity, its sooo lovely to see the wild ponies and Drummers mummy is on it! :D

I recon there can only be one of them! :D

What about my boy and pony film though? Anyone?
