Wonderful old movie with some great scenery and lots of horses, good family values.

Popular with the horsey-minded in the family. This version has endured well and is worth viewing for the nostalgia of seeing child-star Roddy McDowall in action.

Wonderful children's movie with emphasis on how important it is to love and care for animals properly. My grandchildren were completely enthralled and entertained by it.
