Horses

The life of a racehorse, days before an important racing competition at the Hippodrome of Buenos Aires

Made in 1939 by Seabiscuit's owner Charles Howard. This inspirational film chronicles Seabiscuit's life from birth, through training, and the legendary match race with War Admiral.

A scenic documentary record of a climb up to Mount Assiniboine, the 'American Matterhorn' in the Canadian Rockies.

This documentary is a true tribute to the Percheron, the superb draft horse. We talk about its origins, its characteristic traits, its performance in competitions and its value on the farm or for the heavy draft service in the cities.

The future Edward VIII visits his Empire, with Indian royalty, elephants, palaces and temples.

This short documentary offers a humorous look at horse-pulling contests in Ontario and the people who prepare for them. We travel from the farm to the contest, where excitement runs high and the quips do not lack in local colour. Which of these magnificent creatures will be able to pull the heaviest load and win the prize?

A film about everything changing while remaining the same. Or rather – everything remaining the same while changing. We observed this (and wanted to share) while standing (standing regularly and for a long time) on a road rather close to the Eastern border of Latvia, because we followed the suggestion of the locals who asked to shoot “that horrible road”.

The film is about the breeding of the famous Karabakh horses at the Aghdam equestrian factory.

A momentous act of self sacrifice is caught on camera - Emily Davison is trampled by the King's horse at the 1913 Epsom Derby.

The film follows the first days of a newborn horse. The camera records its encounter with the world into which it was born – from its first steps, through joyful galloping, to its initiation as a member of the herd. We see the world from the foal's perspective, with humans serving only as a backdrop for the story of the unique bond between mother and child.

A film by Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince, shot in late October 1888, showing pedestrians and carriages crossing Leeds Bridge.

About a man's fierce battle with the authorities to keep his horses.
