Default Horses - Close Up and Very Personal

Customer Review: Horsin' Around
An in-depth look at the world of Horses for the whole family to enjoy with the sounds of nature, although there is no talking in this video. The video starts off with ponies grazing in a field with others galloping and playing nearby. My son notices there is no sound on this video and I check the audio on the television and video-cassette recorder with all in working order. I come to realize that Live Action is all we get for thirty minutes. Horses Close Up and Very Personal is geared for the toddler and preschooler aged child from one to five. It was refreshing to take in the sounds of nature while watching the Horses in their environment. Many of the scenes were shot on windy days while also capturing the seasons with snow on the ground and riding along the beach in other clips. Midway in this video is the example of Walk, Trot, Ganter and Gallop. A Horse is shown with the words printed on the screen. A painter sets up shop with his wood easel in a field to paint two Horses. The process showed one Black Horse sitting while the other Horse stood for the painter, then across the field the finishing touches on the picture. This was a surprise to see the Horse posing for the picture and so comfortable staying in the same position for the image to be captured on paper. Then a cat came out of nowhere and jumped on the easel, startling the viewer more than the painter. He acknowledged the cat and off into the field it went. In the background during the painting scenes played music. Horses Close Up and Very Personal shares the daily lives of Horses and all that they do from pulling the hoe in the fields to racing in a competition. There are clips of children riding on Horses and talking to them. See Horses with all their riding gear on and the socks on their legs. Close up spots show many Horses eating grass and corn, drinking out of a bucket and playing in the grass.
Customer Review: Not enough to keep my kids interested
Yes, the footage is good, but with almost no sound at all, the kids (2.5, 4.5) get easily distracted. I feel it could have been made more interesting if there was narration to tell about what we are seeing (shoeing, wild horses etc).
