One of the best mini-series ever., 19 June 2008
10/10
Author: LTWeezie from United States

This mini-series was not exactly faithful to the book, but was a classic in its own right. The authentic locations (filmed in Kentucky), only added to the story. The music was magnificent, but was never released on a CD (which is unfortunately the case of many worthy soundtracks). I was able to tape a few episodes on my Betamax when it first aired, including the touching ending, and hope that it will eventually make it to DVD in its entirety! As a life-long horse lover and horse owner, you can tell that this production was full of TLC! I have only seen it rerun once on the Disney Channel, years ago, and hope it will surface again soon!
