HORSES: THE STORY OF EQUUS




IMAX documentary

BACKGROUND
The species Equus has been on earth for 5 million years or more but only domesticated some 3,000 years ago. Horses and asses have had a profound impact on human history in areas such as migration, farming, warfare, sport, communication, and travel.

Horses today come in a variety of ten colours. Three of them are featured in the movie: a coal black horse, a chestnut (a reddish brown horse) and a bay (a brown horse with black legs).

REVIEW
This is the story about three horses all born the same night that go their separate ways. Although there are some interesting facts, the movie is mostly about images of the horses and where they live. Some of the Australian scenery is quite stunning.

CLASSIFICATION
for General Audiences
