Editorial Review:
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.
Touching Wild Horses Reviews:
Good enough 
2008-12-29 - This is a nice way of bringing out personal relations between family members who haven't known each other, and a good clean story about some wild horses.
A heart warming story for horse lovers 
2008-10-28 - Touching Wild Horses is a well-acted story of a boy who comes to an island to stay with a woman who does not want him. The wild horses on the island help to warm their relationship and they band together to save an orphan foal. Well done and highly recommended.
Jane Seymour blew me away!
2008-09-04 - I had no idea that she could play such a moving and provoking role. I first saw her in Somewhere in Time (just loved it) and other films where she showed her "softer" side. This movie displayed a very different Jane. I was convinced by her acting and could totally relate to the predicaments all three found themselves. I'm not sure that younger children would "get it" but the messages are loud and clear and worth hearing again and again. Kudos to the author, cast & crew!
Touching Wild Horses
2008-08-22 - 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.
Wild Horses
2008-07-20 - This story captured my heart the first time I saw it. Although I missed the first 22 minutes of it on the TV. It was one of those movies that they showed once, and seemed like it never got a second play. I was very pleased when I saw it come to DVD and ordered it the same day.
