black beauty obviously 
I really like the horse whisperer although it makes me cry. Secretariat is also really good, as is Seabiscuit. Theres also one thats called Dreamer, that again, makes me cry. Flicka is ok too. Hidalgo is good.
Here's a boxset of 4 horsey movies including international velvet. Its from america but seems quite a good price

Virginias run
Wild hearts cant be broken
Touching wild horses
Running free
Dreamer
Secretariat
Seabiscuit
Shergar
The black Stallion
Black Beauty
Flicka
Into the West
Champions
Follyfoot
War Horse
The horse whisperer
International velvet can be bought here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Classic-Hor...207&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=international+velve but you need a multiregional DVD player to watch it on. They can be bought pretty cheap though and are well worth having as many of the DVD's I have listed above are only viewable on multi regional players too.
I have a draw full of 'horsey' DVD's, they are the best!

I was going to say Gypsy Colt! I love it, haven't seen it for years though. The little girl who rides him with no tack must have been v brave.
I don't know ANYONE else who's seen it!

One of my favourites is 'The Man From Snowy River'.
I think there may have been a 'Return to Snowy River' too, and I'm fairly sure there was a TV series but I don't think that was as 'horsey' as the film.

Phar lap, must have watched it dozens of times. The slow motion shots still make my skin tingle.
Best horse film ever for me.

Phar Lap is my all time favourite too.
Also Ruffian (available on youtube it wasn't a cinema release)
I also enjoyed International Velvet and the Alistair Sim one Escape from the Dark about the pit ponies though that's almost impossible to get hold of. Also known as The Littlest Horse Thieves.

Ruffian (though you may need some tissues for that one) its a brilliant film about an american filly in the 70s.
Phar lap is brilliant aswell.
there is a film called Coyote Summer that i used to watch when i was younger. cant find it anywhere now but that was good.

Chatter happy ponies loves those series lol
National velvet and international velvet where my favorite films as a kid!
Also, there was one about an American barn, 2 girls, one had badly broken her leg from falling off, and was just getting back into barrel racing, the other was a spoilt brat, who changed when her expensive horse broke - does anyone know what that was called?

Obviously there's The Horse Whisperer and one which many don't know about called 'Blue Fire Lady' which is a lovely film and available to buy on Amazon or eBay.

I managed to get a copy either off ebay or Amazon a few years ago. It had a bit of a dodgy case cover which had been photocopied so must have been a copy, but it did play alright. I leant it to someone and never got it back.
It's strange this film is not more ready available, the bit when they're all on the beach at the end always makes me cry!

Love international velvet!
Was shopping in Watford once with a friend who had walked up to the post office while I went elsewhere. I was just going back to meet her and was about 500 yards away when she waves a letter in the air shouting 'Sarah they've chosen you, they've chosen you for the Olympics!' most of the high street looked at me, several people clapped and wished me good luck, I just wanted to die there and then!!
Still makes me cringe now and that was over 20 years ago, cheers Janet!!

Ooh! Thanks for that. Saw that film once many many moons ago and loved it but had never seen it since! It obviously stuck in my memory for some reason.

...and as well as the movies, what about the photo-stories in magazines back in the day? Dodgy stories about kids in riding schools and ponies, doing things we would cringe at these days! (jumping ponies on really hard ground without a boot or bandage in site, over really dodgy jumps, made out of old chairs and anything they could get their hands on for the pictures!)
Those were the days.....
...but regarding National Velvet and International Velvet, always bugged me that The Pi changed from a chestnut gelding with a white blaze to a dark bay stallion....amazing that....

Yes you need a bit artistic licence and imagination to create International Velvet but hey ...
anyway

I also have blue fire lady on DVD and I used to have natinal velvet on video but lost it! Agree with the annoyingness of pie changing colour and suddenly getting his nuts back

the Thrills 'n'Spills DVD series are so good! And Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmarron, a cartoon but so sweet, makes me cry just listening to the music from it, so worth watching. Oh and Racing Stripes! Not quite horsey but a good laugh

How do you know if you have a multi regional DVD player? Loved National Velvet as a kid, would love to get it, and have heard great things about Phar Lap but never actually seen it!
