Awesome historical film of a true story

This movie I caught one night on the Disney Channel. Being a horse jumping enthusiast, I was surprised when I saw Frank Chapot and George Morris! It was then that I realised that this was a true story. I think that it should be re released for the kids on the jumping circuit to see. It's an awesome story of a horse that is against all odds and overcomes them to become one of the US Equestrian Team's Champions in Europe. Kids nowadays need to see films like this. It will boost their interest, will and dreams to become an olympic rider, with the little horse they currently have.

Disney needs to re-release this soon

This is a wonderful movie, which launched mine and I am sure other peoples interest and amateur careers in show jumping. The rider who rode him for the US Equestrian Team, Hugh Whiley passed away recently. He had a very active career long after Nautical. After Nautical retires, Hugh Whiley would always have young kids and other riders asking him about Nautical and wanting to know how he was and where he was.

Great

This is a wonderful film about a horse with whom I was personally acquainted. It is a true story about his rise from the very bottom of the heap. When I first knew him, he was known as Injin Joe. I met him at the Devon Horse Show in Pennsylvania. I followed his career for several years. Then he dropped out of sight at Devon. I missed him very much, and hoped that nothing had happened to him.Imagine my delighted surprise at seeing this film one day at our local movie theater! I absolutely adored seeing his early history and his subsequent career.When he was at Devon, you always thought he was going to take the jump with him, but he would give a real buck at the top, which cleared the jump for him. In the movie, I saw that they had trained most of the buck out, but didn't get rid of the flip of the tail which gives the film its name.I heartily recommend this film for anyone who loves horses and/or rags to riches storiesI would love to acquire a copy of this film, tape or DVD, to see again and to show to my Eventing daughter and grandchildren.
