Filmed entirely on location in the Caribbean, this touching family drama tells the adventurous tale of a Puerto Rican boy who befriends a Paso Fino palomino, a descendant of the horses of the Spanish Conquistadors.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Fantastic!
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The film tells the story of a boy from Puerto Rico who works selling fruit and whose life changes the day he meets a paso fino palomino, a horse descendant from the Spanish horses named this way for the special way of smooth walking he has. More a documentary than a film and although not one of Disney's best, it is still an enjoyable and entertaining movie for all the family containing good values as well as a good story. I do recommend it to all horse and Disney lovers. The film was filmed on location in the Caribbean and the boy role is played by the son of a Puerto Rico famous entertainer. The horse is named Cristobalito for Cristopher Columbus.
