Gypsy Colt

In the grand tradition of Lassie Come Home comes this touching, delightful film, first-rate entertainment the entire family can enjoy together. Gypsy Colt is the remarkable saga of a beautiful, spirited horse whose devotion to his young mistress inspires him to brave deserts, mountains and untold perils to be reunited with her. Meg MacWade (10-year-old Donna Corcoran) and her orphan colt Gypsy are inseparable friends. But when a terrible drought threatens to drive the MacWades from their farm Meg's parents (Ward Bond and Frances Dee) are forced to make a heartbreaking decision. In order to survive, they must sell their daughter's beloved colt to a wealthy racehorse owner. Gypsy's new master is kind (although he employs a mean-spirited trainer played by Lee Van Cleef), but the bond between little Meg and her horse cannot be broken. The combination of super performances, breathtaking scenery and a heroic story make Gypsy Colt a winning addition to your family library.
