More than a movie about a young orphan girl's healing relationship with a horse who is also an orphan, it is a story of how this relationship also ends up repairing the lives of those around her. Exceptional acting and everything else makes this movie a great one for families with older children to watch. Keep a box of tissues handy.

While watching this movie the cogs in my brain start turning, the fact she renames the horse orphan becuase its parrents are dead really speaks to me. When I die i want my kids to have their names changed orphan in my honor. I would like to personally thank the writers for this beutiful moment, from the bottom of my heart. I also love how the horse feels so real, top teir CGI. Tho maybe the movie would be better with an animal that actaully exists like a moose or something. I still love the movie and can look past its "horses" Most easy 10 stars ive ever given, I would give it 11 stars if I could.

Of you want tears, and joy, this movie fits the bill. The relationship between John Voigt and Alexa Nisenson is probably the most heartwarming movie. I would recommend this movie for anyone.

Don't listen to bad reviews! This is a pleasant, easy to watch, good family movie! Especially if you like horses and family! It's about an orphan horse (duh) and other orphans. Maybe that sounds depressing, but it is a delightful movie. And it has a happy ending of course. I guess there are a few parts that are difficult. IMO nothing that's going to drastically upset children, well, idk for sure. Depends on the child oc. Not sure if this qualifies as spoilers: Wolves, horse put down, horrible foster parents -- all rough stuff. OTOH no cursing at all, you don't actually /see/ anyone or any animal actually shot or hurt. But anyone mature enough will know what happened. There's also some intrigue - but I won't spoil it. Acting was good, the little girl, very good. And don't believe whoever wrote about audio being bad. It's wasn't I've /heard/ movies with bad audio and this wasn't bad at all. Production was good, filming, srsly no complaints. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually teared up a little at the end. I'd recommend it to my kids and younger grandkids. Our youngest g-kid is 4 -- and he would enjoy it and would most prolly miss what happened to the horse badly hurt by the wolves...

Parents should know that this movie has child abuse, a wolf attack, and a horse's death. But it's a good story of an orphan girl finding a family, and a grumpy old man connecting with people again. And the child abusers are arrested in the end. Jon Voight's a good actor. And I didn't have a problem with the rest of the cast's acting. Did anyone else think that the girl's mom was going to turn out to be Lucy? I thought Caroline would be her aunt.

This movie was in the Dollar Tree grab bin, for one dollar, if that tells you anything. I only give it three stars because it really was only one dollar. The only fun that came out of this movie was the fact that is was hilariously bad. Between the mediocre acting, stupid naming conventions, and predictability, I could hardly contain myself because it was so laughably bad.

Picked up a copy of the DVD for cheap at the store because it sounded like an interesting and wholesome movie. We were pleasantly surprised. Yes, some of it was predictable, but it was still pretty clever how the story played out and things were tied together. It was not "draggy" at all, and held our interest throughout. There were a couple of times where we actually cheered. But you should also have a tissue handy. The only real criticisms we had was that there were no subtitles (Mom is hard of hearing, and wears aids) and even when the volume was turned way up on her TV some of the dialogue was missed, even by me. But overall, it was a nice escape -- especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lately we've been doing takeout lunch and a new movie, and this one fit the bill nicely.

"Orphan Horse" is a touching story about a cantankerous old horse trainer in Kentucky. He is mad at the world and despised in his community until he meets a young runaway child who is a natural horse whisperer. The story focuses on the bonding of the orphan child with an orphan horse, as well as the lessons learned by the old Scrooge. The theme of orphans abounded in the film. A pair of cardboard-cutout villains have adopted a large brood of children, then abuse them like characters out of a Charles Dickens novel. Young Shelly runs away and sleeps in the barn of old Ben Crowley, who discovers right away that Shelly is a natural when it comes to training horses. Jon Voight was perfect in the role of Ben Crowley. The rest of the cast was admirable in their roles. But the strength of the film was in the scenes with the horse, as trained by Ben and Shelley. The photography captured the verdant landscape of Kentucky and the quaintness of Midway, a town in which the train runs straight down the middle of Main Street. The film's ending may have been a tad bit far-fetched, as a nice cop and Ben's daughter Caroline get married, then adopt the entire batch of abused kids. This was a Hallmark-style "feel good" movie that had some heart, but went overboard on the sentiment at the end.
