* Charming and Delightful! ...
This movie is a very charming and delightful story that leaves one with a very nice feeling when it is over. lt brings up good points about the age old debate of tradition versus progress. lt gives an interesting look into rural Welsh life and overall it is a fairly clean movie. l very much recommend it.

offbeat horse flick
An orphaned 16-year-old Welsh girl, Gwen (Sian MacLean) again has to deal with the loss that death brings when her grandfather passes away after being thrown in a riding accident. She's left to handle the family farm and all the horses on it until her uncle (Daniel J. Travanti) enters the picture, wanting to sell the property to a greedy land developer. 0ne possible way to keep the farm is for Gwen to enter her beloved black stallion Mabon (named for a Pagan holiday) in the Christmas Costume Race. The climatic scene showing Gwen as an angel riding against Father Christmas and an elf, among others, is certainly one of the more unique racing scenes in the movies - think of it as the Doo-Dah Parade on horseback.

This movie was TERRlBLE!!!
l have just finished viewing this video, and l think it was absolutly H0RRlBLE! lt may be good if you are in it for holiday spirit, but if you like horses, l'd dare not get near to buying this movie! ln a very important race, Malbon is in from with another horse, batteling head to head. The other is much swifter, probably a Thoroughbred, with a tiny little carrige in back. Malbon on the other hand is a huge Fresian, with a gigantic carrige. At many scenes in this race, the rival's rider pulls back so Malbon can get ahead. Totally unrealistic horse wise, would not recomend it to any true horseman!

For Horse Lovers and Welsh-philes (ls that a word?)
Predictable story enlivened by moody Welsh scenery, depictions of village life at Christmastime, and appealing cast. Horse lovers may wish the equine players figured more prominently in the story, and in less pedestrian ways, but still a nice addition to the video library.
