When Hopkins was going to let Hidalgo go free, I leaned over to my friend Sheila Larsen and said "he better take off his shoes". Just then he let him go and............all I can see are those metal shoes flashing into the herd. LOL
I really enjoyed the movie. Sure there were a lot of unbelievable scenes, but heck.....it was fun!! Well worth the $8.75 + popcorn.

Fun movie but not great. What was really good was it jazzed me up for this coming weekend at Sand Hills (first ride of the season for us)! Wish the movie had more horse scenes! Watching Hidalgo run away with the herd of wild ones with his steel shoes flashing while none of the others had shoes made me wonder how he was going to do in a few weeks when those shoes become loose and starting tearing up is hooves? Funny how you notice little things.
