IMDb
(DVD, Walt Disney)
Young fruit peddler just getting by on the streets of Puerto Rico reluctantly accepts a job in the stables of a wealthy ranch owner after being persistently hounded by thugs on motorcycles. The boy soon becomes attached to a wild palomino horse and helps train it for formal competition. However, the horse injures its leg while being chased by the bikers, and the owner decides to put it down. The boy runs away with it instead, taking it to a small village where he hopes to save the horse with old-fashioned treatments. After a few weeks the horse is back to normal and he resumes training it. Eventually he brings it back to the ranch and convinces the owner to enter it into a national competition. Standard boy and horse (or dog, cat, etc) Disney film, often resembling a travelogue for Puerto Rico.
