This movie was wonderful, and based on a true story about how the Army just wanted to slaughter all it's cavalry horses because they became "obsolete". Not slaughter for food, just slaughter. Typical Army waste, and a shame for such noble creatures. I'm proud that these Cav guys stole them and took them to Canada. If you love horses, this movie will speak to you.

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 ?

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.

2) No one ever stole cavalry horses to prevent them from being shot and then took them to Canada.
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
