Re: [RC] Hidalgo - Maryanne Stroud


I dunno.  I'd rather a big studio make nice horse movies that were a little 
honest about how fictional they are.  To claim that it is the truth not only 
makes certain points about how wonderful this fictional American rider and his 
mustang are....but maybe even more points about the opponents in this imaginary 
race that uninformed watchers might believe.  Not cool.

I checked out the link, especially the Hopkins on Horses  link. Boy the real guy sounds like a real jerk! Sometimes I almost wish people didn't do the research, it's nicer to believe in the fairytale!

http://www.thelongridersguild.com/hopkins.htm shows all the stuff The Long Riders Guild has on the topic of Frank Hopkins. 
 
Still, a good horse movie is a good horse movie and I will most likely go see it.  I was wondering if the scene in Seabiscuit where Tobe Maguire (I forgot how to spell his name) was telling a tale about how the Sultan had chosen him to ride his stallion, etc was a bit of a inside joke about the Hopkins movie.

There is an article in the Endurance News about the Validity of the story. I am sorry but I forgot what month I believe It was in the spring of 2003. I have only been getting it since 2003 so it has to be this year.

Based on the true story!
