Films About Horse

National Velvet is the story of a twelve-year old girl, Velvet Brown (Elizabeth Taylor), in Sewels, Sussex, England, who wins a spirited gelding in a raffle and trains him for the Grand National steeplechase aided by her father's (Donald Crisp) hired hand: a young drifter, Mi Taylor (Mickey Rooney), who claims to have found Mrs. Brown's name and address among his late father's effects. Mi loathes horses; when he was a jockey in Manchester, he caused a collision which resulted in the death of another jockey. Velvet's horse is named "The Pie" (short for "Pirate", the epithet given him by his previous owner due to his misbehavior). She wins The Pie in a raffle, and convinces Mi to train them both for the Grand National.
