Horse Movies

[Spiritedly]

I'm looking for good horse movies on Netflix. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

I don't have Netflix, so I don't know what films that is or isn't available, but the first films that I came to think of is War Horse, Secretariat, Hidalgo, Seabiscuit, The Man From Snowy River and National Velvet (in the order of oldest last).

I can't resist also mentioning a film that isn't a horse film, but there are a few horses in it, and it just melted my heart, A bear named Winnie.

International Velvet
Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken
Black Beauty

Sorry if none of them are on Netflix!

Again don't have netflix so don't know if these are on... But agree with all of the above, plus the Flicka films, the Black Stallion, Phar Lap, and Flambards

Spirit: stallion of the cimarron.

Phar Lap, Champions, National and International Velvet.

A film that has some lovely horses is King Arthur.

I loved Secretariat

No movies but if you can find 'Chatterhappy Ponies' on there just for a laugh, watch it.

Used to love it as a kid and the ponies are so cute

Dark horse is quite good in a channel 5 sort of way. Also watch heartland which is a series on Netflix and it is Amazeballs!! If you like it then you have much viewing to keep you occupied

I love Spirit: stallion of the Cimarron and Chatterhappy Ponies.

Secretariat is on Netflix? It is on mine anyway, racing stripes is on there too.

May I put in a word for Running Free? The plot is a bit hokey (not unusual for horse movies!), but it has nice horses, stunning scenery (Namibian desert) and a lovely music score.

ETA: I have no idea if it is available on Netflix, sorry.

The horse whisperer , if you want a good weepy one with happy ending. My friend flicka.

Seabiscuit, love that film!

Not a movie but a documentary I watched on Netflix this week was 'Buck'

 

[Pinky94]

The horse whisperer is on Netflix, also there are a few seasons of Heartland.

 

[Spiritedly]

Thanks everyone. I'm going to check out which ones are on there

Oooh I didn't know there were movies of the Flicka books! I was trying to find them for kindle recently, gutted I couldn't - absolutely loved them as a kid, though I remember being disappointed as the emphasis became more god than horses towards the end Whatever your faith, ponies make better reading

Is 'The Man From Snowy River' on Netflix? Ah well, it doesn't matter - just watch the downhill bit on youtube.

I watched Secretariat on Netflix last night and really enjoyed it. Slightly cheesy in places but that's horsey films for you I suppose!

They're not really based on the Flicka books!!! Or should I say VERY loosely based. The first one is a sort of similar storyline but with a girl protagonist, the following ones are completely unrelated. But they are good if not really much like the book... So don't expect the books
