5.0 out of 5 stars Pit Pony - great tv show, August 9, 2005

The first complete season is something we waited for after seeing the first ten episodes. We never knew this show existed and it is a shame it only lasted two seasons. A great dramatic family show that draws you into the characters rather than the plot. You wonder what is happening to each character. The girl who plays Jennie is absolutely wonderful and the Ned character is top notch too.
We are waiting patiently for the second season so we can see Natalie MacMaster guest star.
If you liked Anne of Green Gables and the Avonlea series, you will love this series. Not as carefree and happy go lucky as those shows, they show a poorer family struggling to make ends meet and provides a glimpse of a time where getting ahead was not as important as just surviving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where's Season 2???, January 26, 2008

I just cannont understand why they haven't released the second series of this wonderful story. It actually prompted me to travel from my home in Montana to Glace Bay, Nova Scotia to visit there and P.E.I. seeing the setting for Road to Avonlea. These programs should be made available for children. Also what's holding up more sets of Wind At My Back. These are great family entertainment programs that give you a realistic view of days gone by.

I cannot say enough good things about this movie. True to the times and heartache of the mines, this is an excellent film that is a must have in every collection. You can easily watch this a couple of times a year and never be bored with it. It is more about the lives of people, not a horse flick. The ponies are just part of the overall story of the mines and a particular pony that is loved by a boy. Family and community is a very important thread. I would have wanted more to the series!
