This review is from: Young Black Stallion (DVD)

We open with Neera, a young S. African girl, getting lost from her party in a raid. She's thrown from her camel and sifted down into the dunes. When she awakens, afraid and alone, a young black Arab stallion helps her to find water. Eventually, the two pair up.

When 'Black' the name the girl's given her horse at first, gets Neera back home, he runs away. Neera is left to explain the stallion to her grandfather, who believes the horse was a dream the desert gave her. Their once-rich family is now poor. The stables of Arabians they had have all been sold off for food, save for one favored mare, "Gina" who the grandfather returned to the desert from whence she came.

A year later, the stallion returns to Neera. They partner up again for a winner-take-all-high stakes race that will regain their family's fortune.

I wish the story was longer. It's not as complete as the Farley novel and I can't help but feel that more footage was needed to properly tell the story. Other than that, a beautiful film and one to keep for all who love horses and nature.

This review is from: Young Black Stallion (DVD)

We loved the costumes, the horses, and the scenery. If you don't love Arabians, this won't be as exciting for you. The story line isn't as good as I'd hoped, but the visuals make it well worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars #1 FAN OF THE YOUNG BLACK STALLION, October 7, 2004

By 

Lewdwig (Southwest MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Young Black Stallion (DVD)

I went to go see this movie with my friend and we loved it. The story was great and so was the background music. I love all horse movies, but this has to be one of the best I've ever seen. It starts ou when the Black Stallion (Sheton) is a wild foal living with his mother. Then he gets captured by a girl and she raises him and enters him in a race of Arabians (Arabian is the name of the breed Sheton is). You'll have to watch it to figure out everything that happens in between and inthe end. But if you love horses and action, this is the perfect movie for you.

And if you want to see other movies, there's Seabiscuit, The Black Stallion,Back Beauty, and plenty more.

This is a calmin yet excitble movie full of thrills and some danger, and the bond between people and horses.
