My daughter (age 3) LOVES this movie. Obviously it was not intended for the entertainment of adults or even older children. It does, however, do what I had deemed impossible-it keeps the attention of my daughter. Even when she isn't watching it, she sings the songs and rides on her stick horse (which she has appropriately renamed after the video horse "Clip Clop"). I, too, have been raised around horses and currently own one soley for the enjoyment of my daughter. Any mistreatment to the horses or danger to the children in this video has went unnoticed by myself. I personally didn't expect this film to be educational. I feel the purpose of this video is to give young children a glimpse inside the horse world in an entertaining fashion. I also have concluded (by the entrancing effect on my daughter) that it has met those requirements and is deserving of a favorable review. Basically, if you are searching for a video that can replace a knowledgable adult when dealing with horses--this is NOT it. But, if you have or know small childen who are interested in horses on any level, then this would be a Great gift. I rated this video all 5 stars, not because I particularly enjoyed it, but because of the effect it has had on mydaughter.

I am so disappointed in this video that I just had to write about it! My son loves horses and so we bought this video in the hopes that it would show alot of video about horses. Well, apparently the people who made this video think the rest of us are interested in watching the goofy adults dance around and sing really bad songs about horses. When the horses are running around and jumping, half of the time the horse is barely visible and the camera is on the rider! It is a very frustrating video. I honestly can't tell you how frustrated I get by not showing the horses....oh well, live and learn...I definitely would not buy it again.

This movie was very entertaining for my 3 year old daughter. However it did not have very accurate information. I have owned horse on and off all my life, and was very dissapointed in the video. I rented the movie from a video store, and was very glad I didn't waste my money on buying it. I surely will not let my daughter watch it again.

What a FUN educational video. My two and a half year old daughter who loves horses also enjoys the songs and children in this video. I would recommend it to all horse loving children.

I got this video for my kids to learn more about Horses since I am allergic to them. Both my sons are on the autism spectrum with the non verbal son really enjoying the songs on the video and how they take care of the horses.

The pace is slow and repetitious, but in this instance that was good. This is more geared to the very young child, preschooler to first grader perhaps.

The story is more about the Horse than watching Horses jump and race. Horses up close and personal is a better video.

This is a lighthearted, fun and lively video showing the daily care of horses. My two toddlers adore horses, and I couldn't wait to pop this tape in to capture their attention with live action. Though the scenes are authentic and there is much to learn from the animal's characteristics to how to bathe and brush them, the picture quality is so poor that it makes watching it in its entirey a real chore. There is a graininess to the video that doesn't change on smaller screens, so basically you won't enjoy watching along with your kids. The actors in the film deliver their lines in a way that truly seems rehearsed from script, but this won't matter to kids since they speak clearly and in simple to understand language. The music is very sweet too. They also incorporate special needs children in the film, which is a refreshing change. It's just too bad the film company didn't record on a faster speed tape to ensure clarity.

My children love this video and I have to limit the amount they watch it. Its very informative-- even for the adult. ITS MY HORSE LOVERS FAVORITE SHOW!

My two children (2yrs and 3yrs) LOVE this movie. I think that it's a good movie for small children who like horses, and it gives some general information about horses, etc. My kids also like the songs.

well, This is one of the movies that I swore I would never have in my house, but my 3 year old son BEGS for it every time we are at the video store, so I am finally breaking down and buying it for him for his birthday. Both of our kids are mesmerized by this, they sing all the songs ( A warning here, these are HORRIBLY written songs, and they tend to stick in your head for days) until I make them stop. the only thing worse, is Casey singing the song "Nine Lives" on the other real animal video about cats... the kids love that one too. I give this tape 3 stars purely on the entertainment value from the kids aspect....and that it keeps them glued long enough for me to cook dinner!

HI I AM 12 Y.O. AND HAVE BEEN RIDING SINCE THE TIME I COULD TALK. THIS MOVIE IS IS GREAT FOR LITTLE KIDS WHO JUST WANT TO WATCH HORSES, BUT I DON'T AGREE WITH THE WAY THEY HANDLE THE HORSES OR THE SAFETY OF THOSE KIDS.
