Summary: My Favorite Movie of all time
Review: Growing up riding, the only thing I ever wanted to do was event in the Rolex Kentucky 3-Day. I never did make it there for eventing but this movie was the next best thing. Me and my horse friends watched this movie endlessly...we still quote it when we see each other (Why don't you quit readin' and come help?). I doubt any movie could ever top this one for me....or any other wannabe eventer.

Summary: Classic Horse Jumping! Enjoyable love story for all ages...
Review: I enjoyed this movie because you could feel the struggles that each character had to face. The problems where very simiular for most of the characters. When the young girls rent "Titantic" they love the story and will love the struggles of two people fighting to find love in this movie also.

Summary: Customer friendly!
Review: I found the folks at iNetVideo.com to be helpful and accommodating. When they couldn't find a new version of this video for me, they were able to locate a used version in good condition. They emailed me quickly in response to my request and were able to send the used video in a short time.

Summary: My fave equestrain movie
Review: I saw this move about 5 years ago for the first time. I bought it as soon as I saw it on DVD. IT is such a great story and it's content as far as the eventing world goes is almost entirely accurate. It really should be rated more of a pg13 b/c of the language and some sexual content. It still is so worth buying.

Summary: Great Movie for Horse Lovers
Review: I saw this movie originally in the theatre when I when I was in my teens and it was great then and great now. Cheesy, yes, but the story is still interesting and worth it. I recommend it to anyone who loves horses. Espcially those in the pre-teen set.

Summary: The one that started it all
Review: I've always called this movite that...I went to see it in the theater when I was 5, and I fell in love with it. I'm a horse lover since birth, and I knew I wanted to do something with horses, but it was not until I saw this move that I found out what. I started taking classes and became an equestrian, I have my own "sylvester", and like for Charlie, he's my dream come true and one of the loves of my life. I'm 22 now and even 17 years after watching the movie for the first time, the footage of the cross country and the moolight training still make me want to cry. A great movie, specially for "all those little girls in love with horses" like myself. A good family movie too, I still find myself joking with my dad that he never thought that by taking me to the movies that afternoon that he was going to be spending so much on me and my horse some years after.

Summary: Good Drama, Good Depiction of 3-Day Eventing
Review: Melissa Gilbert made her movie debut in this National Velvet-styled story of a determined girl and her jumping horse. Gilbert is a tough on the outside / soft on the inside teenage orphan who trains a worthless cowpony, transforming him into a classy 3-Day Eventer. With the help of her drunken mentor (Richard Farnsworth, the penultimate cowboy) they train the ghostly gray horse by moonlight, and dazzle everyone by daylight when the horse and his rider make it to the top show ranks. There are lots of sudsy subplots, but it just adds to the fun. I loved this movie the first time I saw it, and my horsy friends and I all saw it more than once. Not quite a classic, Sylvester is still a great one for horse lovers and definitely worth a spot in your DVD library.

Summary: If you love horses this is a great film!
Review: The first time I saw it I fell in love with it. I love horses and the sport so this was great. One of the best horse films ever done and believe me I've seen them all! I also like Melissa Gilbert. I basically grew up watching "Little House On The Prairie." I was first introduced to the film by a friend who is a fellow horse lover. This is not only a movie for horse people. It has the ability to attract all sorts of viewers because it has other elements besides the equines. Cheers to the makers of this fabulous film!

Summary: at least they could ride
Review: The story is pretty forgetable BUT the horses can move and the people can ride. The libery jump over a pickup is hard to beat. The cross counrty at KY Horse Park is well done and the stadium jumping is well presented.
