Rare old horse movies online. What you have found?.

Can anyone find a link or point me to where to find Phar Lap or Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit? We just got Disney plus and that was the first movie I looked for! :lol: It only seems to have the newer movies - such a bummer.

I have all of these movies on VHS - a whole lot of good that does me now :mad:

I’d love to find Casey’s Shadow on Line!

Phar Lap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-dEajZi40I

I have both of those on DVD…

Justin Morgan Had a Horse is on Disney+…

Snowfire… does anyone remember this?

Willowood, Casey’s Shadow is available on Amazon Prime.
I think it’s also on YouTube.

Thank you! Just started Casey’s Shadow to accompany my mindless Friday afternoon work :smiley:

The movie with the coal mining ponies was The Littlest Horse Thieves. I was traumatized by it as a kid.

On Disney+ is one called “Hacksaw” about a unrideable horse who goes on to do the chuck wagon races.

Does anyone remember who payed Aspy or who did the stunt riding in The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit? That was pretty amazing riding.

Something to Talk About is really good too with a wonderful cast, Julia Roberts, Dennis Quaid and Robert Duvall

@PintoPony !Thank you for telling me about Casey’s Shadow!!

You are welcome Willowood! Casey’s Shadow is one of my favorite horse movies.

Found this discussion about the movie from 2008. Some interesting info there.

“it was Kathy Kusner and Aberali.”

If you would like to see the worst movie ever made – and a young Zac Effron demonstrating what horrible riding looks like – I highly recommend the Derby Stallion! It’s so bad, it’s funny.

Thanks for the link to that thread; I had read it awhile ago but forgot the details (though did know that Kathy Kusner and Aberali were “Aspy and Susie” at Washington) - as for the bareback rider, he was incredible!

On a different discussion of the movie, someone said he was a H/J rider/trainer in CA who they tapped for the role (I wonder if he is credited?) Someone on COTH knew who he was, but we would need to dig up that thread.

I had more luck ordering DVDs than finding streaming horse movies. I ordered Shergar, the somewhat old Irish movie. The riding is fun to watch. Not a bad afternoon movie.

If you have Amazon Prime:

Danny was always one of my favourite horse movies as a kid!

What was the movie with the white horse that was being abused in some sort of western situation and a teenage girl tries to rescue him and he jumps out of the paddock and over the bed of a pickup truck so she saves him and turns him into (I think) an eventer? Does anyone remember this one? I loved that movie but cannot remember the name.

Jeepgirl, I think the movie you’re thinking of is called “Sylvester”.
It stars Melissa Gilbert and she trains the bucking string horse to be an eventer and they go to Rolex. Ridiculous plot but a fun time waster.
