For Greg B and paintgirl_h?

Hi there, Not often people ask for me by name, so you caught my eye! I've been on holidays for a few weeks, plus I have a daughter getting married Dec 21st, so my life is so hectic I've hardly been able to yahoo answer!

Anyhow, I don't know of any way to answer your question, unless you want to edit this and talk to me that way. I'm too chicken to give out my email address to Yahoo answers. A year or so ago I had a BAD experience on eBay - bought an article from someone and it never came and when I wrote her she made my life miserable by writing me endless letters calling me a cheat, theif, liar, and wishing bad karma upon me. Seriously. It wasn't any fun at all, and since then I have decided that I just can't give out my email address to people I don't personally know.

What can I do for you? If you edit this you can ask me a question or whatever that way, and I'll edit this note back.

And answer to your question - I LOVED the Black Stallion when I was a girl and read every book I could get my hands on. The movie was a bit of a rip-off, my imagination was better. And the movie "Black Beauty" still touches my heart, even as an adult. I cry (honestly) every time the scene happens where Ginger has died and is carried past Beauty. I hate how helpless animals are in the hands of cruel owners.

Talk to you later.

Edit: Just so you all know - I had a brave moment and took your advice and am going to TRY allowing emails through Yahoo Answers format. I am hoping no axe murderers start writing me on a regular basis!

I like Mr. Ed, too. I even still have my Mattel Mr. Ed talking hand puppet.

There was also the Saddlebred that played the role of a Thoroughbred, Blaze King, on the TV series version of National Velvet. (early 1960's)

I also liked Cass Ole`, the Arabian horse that played the part of the Black Stallion.

For a cartoon horse there is Quick Draw McGraw, and his burro sidekick, Bobalouie.

My favorite movie horse character is Flicka

I even teared up a bit in the movie I'm a softy

And for cartoon there is The Captain in the movie/book 101 Dalmatians (96' version)

Well, I'm honored to be asked for by name.

You actually hit on mine. I have to go with Shadowfax. My first horse that I grew up with and had for twenty years was a grey Arab and his show name was Shadowfax - back before the LOTR movies. At night he looked like a ghost horse. He was so nimble and quick just as Shadowfax was described and he could run all day. In fact, at horse trials as we left the start box, I would tell him to 'show us the meaning of haste.'

When he died, I selected the following for his epitaph:

"And there is one among them that might have been foaled in the morning of the world. The horses of the Nine cannot vie with him; tireless, swift as the flowing wind. Shadowfax they called him. By day his coat glistens like silver; and by night it is like a shade, and he passes unseen. Light is his footfall! Never before had any man mounted him, but I took him and I tamed him, and so speedily he bore me...."

My favorite famous horse is Rex.

Rex, also known as Rex the Wonder Horse and King of the Wild Horses, was a 16 hands, Morgan stallion who starred in films and film serials in the 1920s and 30s. His trainer was Jack "Swede" Lindell, who found him in a boy's school in Flagstaff, Arizona. He found that Rex had the unusual behaviour of trying to bite a whip when it was cracked. Lindell encouraged this and would often stand behind the camera to get a dramatic shot on film. Lindell never left Rex alone on set unless he was locked in his own trailer. During filming of The Law of the Wild Rex made a commotion on set. When he charged the camera (with Lindell behind it) as intended he did not stop when Lindell gave the signal to do so (by holding his whip in both hands). He reared, knocking over several reflectors and causing the cast and crew to scatter for cover. Rex chased one actor, Ernie Adams, who attempted to hide under a car. Rex dropped to his knees and attempted to bite Adams with his head thrust sideways underneath the car. Lindell managed to call Rex off by simply cracking the whip, after which the horse calmly walked over to him. When William Witney, working as an assistant director on the serial, made Stranger at My Door (1956) he described the event to trainer Glen Randall and the scene was recreated for that movie.

What great answers!!! They take me back.....

My favorites:

Trigger (my dad was just a farmboy when Roy Rogers was making his movies. Dad adored Roy and named the foal of one of Grandpa's workhorses Trigger, who turned out to be a pretty trusty fellow). By the way, what was Trigger's background? I've heard TB and quarter and I've also heard TB and draft. Anybody know?

Tornado, Zorro's black horse from the old Disney "Zorro" series.

Silver. The same horse was also Gerald O'Hara's white jumper in "Gone With the Wind".

Flicka from the old tv show.

Fury (who, I believe, was a Saddlebred)

That has to be a troll asking that question. My hubby cried when our baby was born, he didn't find it revolting!! Ugh it's not even a funny joke. Yay for Greg B

The Black Stallion is my favorite. I used to watch that movie all the time when I was little and I thought he was GORGEOUS. At the time, I was also taking lessons exclusively on Arabs, so I thought he was doubly cool. I had childish delusions of owning my own Black Stallion someday. Thank heavens my parents weren't the spoiling type...!

Mr. Ed ......and my favorite horse movie was The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit. He was gray with a ton of chrome!! You would of thought he was pwetty!! lol

But anything that featured horses was always a favorite..I wasn't picky...just wanted to see horses!!

First choice is Silver (Off of the Lone Ranger). I no he didn't really do anything all that special, but when your a little kid.......

I watch that show religiously.

I also really liked Widow Maker in the movie Tall Tales; of Pecos Bill.
