Has anyone seen that with Kurt Russell and i don't know her name but a little girl played in it about a race horse that broke its leg and made a full recovery. Anyway my question is this i know it is based on a true story so does anyone know about the real horse and the name and some of the facts on it? Thanks loved the show

The movie is loosely inspired by the story of the mare Mariah's Storm. She was a promising filly who was being pointed towards the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies in 1993 but then broke her cannon bone. She recovered and later won some graded races. She started in the 1995 Breeder's Cup Distaff and finished ninth. She was owned by Thunderhead Farms and trained by Don Von Hemel. She's now known mostly for being the dam of Giant's Causeway.

The little girl's name is Dakota Fanning. If you rent the video "Dreamer" and go to the special features section of the DVD you will find the answers you seek about the real horse in one of the featurettes.
