Nothing warms my heart and soul like a 'love story'. My Friend Flicka is most definitely a love story. My hope is that this series inspires a deeper appreciation and respect regarding the human/equine bond in the younger and future generations as it did in me. There is a Facebook page and web site that provides excellent resource information on this TV Series (just do a web search). I'm disappointed however that Shout Factory's release only included 2 episodes from Fox's masters as the series went public domain back in the 90's and doubtlessly they didn't want to invest anymore than necessary in production costs for their release..

An wonderful 'feel good' family movie that gives equines the proper recognition they deserve being that America came to be what it is because of equines. The actual Bess magnificently portrays the incredible soul that is the heart of a mare! I would go so far as to say that this is an inter-species love story of unparalleled quality. What's equally wonderful is that this movie is now available for purchase on Amazon.com and it's worth EVERY PENNY of it's purchase price. Gather the family, get your popcorn and snacks, sit down and prepare for some genuinely 'wholesome' family entertainment! Oh and MANY thanks to Chris Parker for his recounting of the 'true story' of a beautiful angel of light! If only I could have been blessed to meet Bess in real life. Every day I give thanks for the blessing of a life that is centered around equines...
