Our Favorite Quotes From Horse Movies
Movies are great, but movies about horses are even greater! Here are some of our favorite quotes from horse movies:
Quotes From Seabiscuit
“The first time he saw Seabiscuit, the colt was walking through the fog at five in the morning. Smith would say later that the horse looked right through him. As if to say, “What the hell are you looking at? Who do you think you are?” He was a small horse, barely fifteen hands. He was hurting too. There was a limp in his walk, a wheezing when he breathed. Smith didn’t pay attention to that. He was looking the horse in the eye.” – Seabiscuit
“You don’t throw a whole life away just ‘cuz he’s banged up a little.” [Tom Smith] – Seabiscuit
“You know, if you did more riding and less talking you might start winning some races.” [George Woolf to Red Pollard] – Seabiscuit
“The horse is too small, the jockey too big, the trainer too old, and I’m too dumb to know the difference.” [Charles Howard jokes to the media] – Seabiscuit
“Well, I just think this horse has a lot of heart. He may have been down, but he wasn’t out. He may have lost a few, but he didn’t let it get to him. I think I learned a lick or two from this little guy. Oh, and by the way, he doesn’t know he’s little. He thinks he’s the biggest horse out there.” [Charles Howard speaking to the newsmen after the win at Santa Anita] – Seabiscuit
“You know, everybody thinks we found this broken-down horse and fixed him, but we didn’t. He fixed us. Every one of us. And I guess in a way we kinda fixed each other too.” [Red Pollard, narrates] – Seabiscuit
Quotes From Hidalgo
“Mister… You can say anything you want about me. I’m going to have to ask you not to talk about my horse that way.”[Frank T Hopkins]– Hidalgo
“If I had the ability to foretell the future, perhaps I would have bet on a painted horse.” [Sheik Riyadh] – Hidalgo
Quotes from Black Beauty
“We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.” [Anna Sewell] – Black Beauty
“We don’t get to choose the people in our lives. For us, its all chance.”- Black Beauty
Quotes From Secretariat
“That horse couldn’t beat a fat man encased in concrete being drug backwards by a freight train.” – [Lucien Laurin to Penny Chenery before the colt’s 2-year-old debut] – Secretariat
“More than three thousand years ago a man named Job complained to God about all his troubles and the Bible tells us that God answered: Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength and charges into the fray. He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing, He does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground. He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.” [A bible passage from the book of Job 39:19-25] – Secretariat
“Hey Kentucky! Big Red done ate his breakfast this morning and you about to see something that you ain’t never even seen before. So get ready!” [Eddie Sweat yells out in excitement early in the morning on the Churchill Downs track the morning of the Kentucky Derby in 1973] – Secretariat
Quotes From the Documentary “Buck”
“The horse is a mirror to your soul, sometimes you don’t like what you see, sometimes you do.” – Buck Brannaman
“As a rider, you must slowly and methodically show your horse what is appropriate. You also have to discourage what’s inappropriate, not by making the inappropriate impossible, but by making it difficult so that the horse himself chooses appropriate behavior. You can’t choose it for him; you can only make it difficult for him to make the wrong choices. If, however, you make it impossible for him to make the wrong choices, you’re making war.” – Buck Brannaman
The road may bend out of sight at times, but I know what lies ahead: the faraway horses.”– Buck Brannaman
Quotes From The Horse Whisperer
“A million years before man they grazed the vast empty plains, living by voices only they could hear. They first came to know man as the hunted knows the hunter. Before he used horses for his labors, he killed them for meat. The alliance with man would forever be fragile. For the fear he struck deep into their hearts was too deep to be dislodged. Since that Neolithic moment when a horse was first haltered, there were those among men who understood this. They could see into the creature’s soul and sooth the wounds they found there. The secrets uttered softly into troubled ears. These men were known as the Whisperers.”– The Horse Whisperer
“Truth is, I help horses with people problems.” [Tom Booker]– The Horse Whisperer
