Given that background then I must say not to watch it because all the horses are mistreated in the film, badly. And the main horse sees some insane stuff. It has a very very happy ending though.

(For what it's worth Spielberg went to great lengths to assure animal safety in that movie, but it's still rather graphic.)

I hope one day you are able to see it as for me it has maybe one of the best endings. At least my top 10 for a happy ending.
