A mesmerizing, heartfelt meditation on one man's dream and the beautiful life he's created for himself and his horses.

When any person's life is changed for the better due to an animal the story is heartwarming. When that story is told well it's magic. This is magic! It's a short documentary film on Netflix and it will be over quicker than a hiccup and you'll want more. You've probably never heard of Robin Wiltshire, but you definitely know Juniper, the horse who altered the future of a family. Final Score: 10/10
