Horses are one of the people’s favorite animals. They are so sweet, but in the same time so intelligent and so powerful.

If you like to see a great horse movie, we offer you a list of the best horse movies ever. This list will help you to avoid long hours of searching on the net and to enjoy more hours watching.
We could start with "The black Stallion". This is a timeless classic based on the Walter Farley children’s book. It’s a movie for the whole family and speaks about powerful bonding between the horse and a boy that leads to race against and beat the fastest horses in the country. The movie is very touching, in some moments happy but in some moments thrilling and breathtaking.
"National Velvet" is an amazing movie that speaks about accomplishment of a childish dream – to win a horse on a lottery and make him a great winner. It’s another family classic in which we could see Liz Taylor winning England’s famous Grand National steeplechase, disguised as a boy. Besides Liz in this movie could be seen Mickey Rooney, Donald Crisp, Anne Revere and Angela Lansbury.
There are few movie adaptations of Anna Sewell’s classic book "Black beauty". It’s another touching movie, told from the horses’ perspective. It can be pretty upsetting for little children because the horse retells his life story. He was forced to leave his wonderful first home and after that he passed through indifferent and abusive owners. At the end Beauty finally finds again his boy.
"The Horsewhisperer" is en excellent movie but contains scenes that are not so appropriated for young children. It is actually a romance that speaks abut the relationship between a workaholic mother and her injured daughter. Here is the horse that is very frightened and the "horse whisperer" that makes changes in their lives, not just for the horse. Robert Redford is the director of this movie and besides him we could see Kristin Scott Thomas, Scarlette Johannson, Sam Neill and Diane Wiest.
"Dreamer" is a great happy ending movie, greatly filmed. Young Dakota Fanning plays Cale Crane, a girl that catalyzes the rescue and the rehabilitation of a race horse with a broken leg. Great family movie, recommended for ages 6 and older.
The list will be ended with "Secretariat", the last horse movie released by Walt Disney Pictures. It’s a fabulous movie, beautifully filmed that involves great cast – we could see Diane Lane and John Malkovich in the main roles. This movie is simply beautiful and suitable for all ages. The story is very interesting and it does not include tragedy, abuse and other heart wrenching content.
