Jappeloup

My lovely horse.

&quot;Jappeloup&quot; is a French movie about a jumping horse that, against the odds (isn&apos;t it ALWAYS that way?), went on to be a champion. I don&apos;t think such a film would have been in the USA, as most folks don&apos;t care about show jumping.

The story begins in the late 1970s. Pierre Durand loves show jumping and is in search of a new horse. At first, they refuse to buy Jappeloup. After all, he&apos;s not the typical jumper, being a hybrid of a tropper and a thoroughbred. He&apos;s also quite small compared to other jumpers. Yet, despite the odds, you KNOW what will happen by the end of the story.

This is an extremely well made, albeit predictable film. After all, they wouldn&apos;t do a film about a horse that loses the big competition, would they? Yet despite this, you find yourself rooting for the horse. Overall an enjoyable and very well made sports movie and a lovely horse.

By the way, Durand is also a lawyer and apparently he was NOT thrilled with the film and sued the filmmakers. What came of this, I have no idea.
