About inaccuracies..

(previous comment)"...I know for a fact that blind horses do not load trailers easily." I have not seen the movie yet, but after reading the previous comment about Hollywood not researching horses beforehand, I must say that this commenter also did not do THEIR research on blind horses either! Knowing a partially blind horse once, does not make an expert of anyone. Your comment about blind horses not loading easily is absolutely FASLSE! If movies fail to accurately portray the bond and relationship b/t horse and rider...it's only because most horses and riders do not really have a true partnership to begin with (hence ANY horse not loading into a trailer easily). I own, ride and trailer a totally blind horse who has taught me plenty about communication and trust. Because of that trust, he loads into a trailer far better than most sighted horses. He also has the courage and confidence to lead himself! Yep, may bump into a thing or two...but once he figures it out...he makes a mental map of his surroundings. Truly awe inspiring to watch him! Maybe Hollywood didn't do such a good job on getting everything right...but people must know that the possibility does exist. Jean & Houdini
