I've seen that movie on TV. I really liked it. It's so beautiful... History on men and a special friendship and respect. That's not a war movie. That's about a military/political decision taken in an office. They decided to bring tanks to replace horses. Instead of sendind faithful horses to their retirement in country, they dedecided to kill them.
Some NCO decide to save them : they try to reach Canada.
Are they going to succeed ?

This is an amazing true story about the rescue of WWI surplus Army horses that the government had ordered to be slaughtered. The heros were cavalry officers and enlisted men who actually stole the horses and made it to Canada with hundreds of them. Evading capture the whole way. One very graphic scene of horses being gunned down by the military that was hard to watch, but the rest of the uplifting story was worth it.

Let me preface my comments by saying that I am a cavalry historian and have published a book on the U.S. Cavalry (check Amazon if you don't believe me). This movie is absolutely and completely wrong!

3) The U.S. Cavalry Association, an organization composed ... Read More

As part of the process, the Cavalry is changing form, and the order goes out to herd hundreds of horses to Mexico to be slaughtered.
A young, idealistic officer (Craig Sheffer) and a grizzled veteran sergeant with a conscience, ... Read More

Ultimately the time had to come for the U.S. Army to stop using the horse cavalry and convert to gas-powered vehicles. This story revolves around a group of old cavalry soldiers who cannot stand to watch the slaughter of the hundreds of horses owned by the Army. They end up stealing the horses and driving them North to Canada where they will be turned out to run wild and free. Doing so, they are pursued by the Army who is bent on stopping them, or killing the men and the horses.
