synopsis
Set against the red sand dunes of the oldest desert in the world, one courageous horse grows from an awkward colt into a magnificent stallion, triumphing against all odds at the edge of the rugged, inhospitable Skeleton Coast of Namibia. In 1914, Lucky, a young foal, is born aboard a German supply steamer transporting his mother and other workhorses to Africa. Soon parted from his mother and terribly vulnerable, the foal is adopted by an orphaned stable boy in a mining town. When the town evacuates due to encroaching war, Lucky is abandoned and ventures into the surrounding desert. Following the lead of a young Bushman girl and later an Oryx antelope, the foal learns how to survive in the harsh setting.

reviews
The idea of having an adorable young horsey in the lead role is sure to please animal lovers and tykes, but don't expect this sweet-verging-on-sappy family flick to start a stampede at the box office. Story Our four-hoofed hero is Lucky, a plucky brown colt shipped to World War I era South Africa to work at a mine. Though loved by a devoted boy (Chase Moore), Lucky faces danger in the form of less-sympathetic humans and Caesar, the fearsome black stallion that dominates the other horses.
