This horse is definitely NOT Mr. Ed, 18 August 2001
7/10
Author: helpless_dancer from Broken Bow, Oklahoma

In fact, this pony is vastly superior to every horse that ever trod the old trail...all except for Trigger that is. No horse out does ol' Roy's cayuse. I felt sorry for this beast because he really got the shaft from life; beginning with a cruel land owner and going on to being sold or traded multiple times, often into harsh and dangerous conditions. I liked the film, but objected to the way it was put together. Many years passed with the appearance of it being just a short while. A sad tale, guaranteed to bring a snarl to the lips of all animal rights activists.
