Product Description

After a terrible car accident involving his family, 12-year-old Mark is sent to live with his aunt Fiona (Seymour) on a beautiful and remote island. Isolated from most of the world, Fiona and a park ranger are the only human inhabitants of this wind-swept island, home to herd of wild horses. Her reclusive personality makes Mark’s new life on the island difficult but he soon begins to see the beauty of the nature and the animals around them including the horses they are forbidden to touch. When the mother of a young colt is killed, Mark breaks the rules and begins to feed and nurture the young animal. At first Fiona is furious but as she and Mark begin to create their own family bonds, she helps him to keep the horse from starving and each learns lessons from the other about compassion, faith and family ties.

Customer Reviews

Loved it
I am a huge Jane Seymour fan anyway and thought she did wonderfully in this film. I liked the underlying story of how Mark's family died. It kept me guessing. The horses and scenery were beautiful. Even though the story line moved slowly at times, I still liked it. It showed the natural beauty out there. The innocence of the horses was wonderful. I would especially recommend this movie to people who like nature.

Touching Wild Horses
I live in Boulder, Colorado and on March 19,2005. I rented the DVD movie of Touching Wild Horses staring Jane Seymour. I enjoyed the movie and all the horses.
But what got me was the way the Aunt started out, rough and un caring but with a little help from a boy and a horse foal named John.The Aunt saw for herself that being caring and opening up does more then acting rough and uncaring. I really also enjoyed the views of Sable Island.

Touching Wild Horses
I really loved this movie. Before sharing it with younger children I would watch it first so if they want to know why the aunt has a cold heart towards her nephew in the beginning of the movie you can have a clearer understanding how to respond to it. So often we forget hardships can turn people bitter and cold because that dark cloud has never left as so warmly stated in movie Loves Abiding Joy #4 of the Love Comes Softly Series (which are my ultimate favorite movies). Having come from a hard life myself if I hadn't had a loving home and God in my life I too could have turned out differently. We are a product of our neutering or lack of it; in most cases. Sometimes I forget that we aren't promised a life without hardships as this movie shows but how we learn to grow from our adventures; that, with trust and forgiveness you can find your way back. "Love" can soften even Jane Seymore the cold hearted aunt.
