"My Friend Flicka"2007-11-24 21:09:43

Whoever coined that term, sorry, but I just have to use it for lack of a better description. ^^;

What can you say to a person to get them out of their "My Friend Flicka" mindset?

My mother is a total "My Friend Flicka" advocate. I want to get some ideas on what to say to snap her back into harsh reality.

Answers:

Show her pictures of what happens to the BLM's that end up at auction because someone with that mindset bought them for their teenager. Try to look on YouTube for horses gone crazy videos to show her. IF that doesn't sink in - show her the bronc competitions on ESPN. Those horses are that way for a reason.

My Friend Flicka, Thunderhead, and Green Grass of Wyoming is the ultimate trilogy. But there was more to the original My Friend Flicka than was portrayed in the recent rendition. When the original came out the majority of people were still country bumpkins with a little bit of horse sense enough to know what side to mount on. The new My Friend Flicka was a good movie for Disney purposes but it just reinforced the belief of the "citizens" that they can hop on a wild animal and gallop away with the aid of a few carrots and sneaking into the pasture. It's a damn shame; people should leave the horses to the horse people and if they want to learn about them they should do it slowly and invest into it - free horses, cheap or free trainers = trouble.

Flicka is long time dead and was made into glue.
