They just released the extended version. They should have used the all of the footage - it's great!

It is much better without the little cuts; it is even more touching.

[horsepoor]

Yes, much better version. Love it.

[Chief2]

I agree!

[LovelyBay]

I love it! I also love that someone wrote in the comments "a better love story thatn Twilight"

[Nootka]

I love it too. It is more touching!

[Cindyg]

Thanks for posting. Much improved.

They unhitched him b/f taking of his bridle!

This has to stop. Still makes me cry after viewing 101. & I have been thinking about marrying the guy a bit too much for a fictional character.

Here's an article about how the horses were trained, who did the training, and how it all came together.

And for Hippolyta-the actor's name. Apparently he played Neil Armstrong in Transformers.

How did you miss my earlier post where I provided that article and video?

[JanM]

Oops! I guess I did miss it. I'm doing this at work between platoons running through here.


I notice this time that when they show the horse on the final stretch that one of the Budweiser guys is running in the background. I think I see more detail each time I watch it.

Love it ! Thanks !

The most amazing thing about that video is that the guy found parking on the street in Chicago. That's how you know it's fiction.

Love it....there were a lot of choppiness in the other, like why was the guy sleeping in the stall. Most folks only do that with a sick horse...this shows the horse was sick. It just fills in a lot of things.

Now if I could find that guy about 30 years older..........

[Mike Matson]

I hear he posts here.

[Hippolyta]

Has anyone else spent too much time daydreaming about this fictional man & his horse? I showed it to everyone at work, telling them he (guy) was my new boyfriend. He is going to come out, teach my horse to drive, and then take me to dinner.

The foal will be named Hope - maybe that has already been posted.

I expected something a little more special. To have a contest and choose Hope???
At least, the Spruce Meadows "Name the foal" contests are a little bit more challenging!

I love how the article says "a Clydesdale and his mentor"....
