Ratings and reviews

I ride and own lots of horses. I have three favorite riding horses, a mustang, a racehorse, and a paso fino. I have a mule too. So of course I love this movie! I am the biggest horse lover in the world. A guy dumped his horses near where I live without food or water! I helped them, fed them, and gave them water. They needed medical attention really bad too. 😩 Poor things. I have a a room that all over the walls is a giant horse collage! When you guys say your the biggest horse fans in the world, I make you look like you hate horses. Don't mean to be mean, just saying, I am THE BIGGEST HORSE FAN AND LOVER IN THE ENTIRE RACE OF HORSE PEOPLE!!!!!!!🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🐴🐎🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇
