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
