In the late 18th century, one of the first American breeds of horse was developed, the Morgan Horse. This horse was named after its creator, Justin Morgan...a poor musician and school teacher who isn't a very likely man to develop this great all-around breed.
The story is quite unlike other Disney films of the era. Instead of trying to appeal to children with broad humor and writing, the story seems quite adult and is told very well. You would swear as you watch that it's NOT a Disney film...as the 1970s were not a good period for the studio. Still, excellent direction and acting make this one quite enjoyable...well worth seeing.
