Apple, a 26 inch tall chestnut and white miniature horse, stars with Burt Reynolds, Amy Smart, Liam Mcintyre and AJ Michalka in Apple of My Eye - a heartwarming movie about a young girl's struggle after a traumatic horse riding accident causes her to lose her eyesight and a miniature horse  is trained to be her companion and surrogate eyes.

Apple of My Eye trailer will screen during the Festival and the movie is slated for release in late January, 2017 (Apple is owned and trained by Ashley Klein).

Dreamer, a very talented palomino pony, stars in Unbridled with Eric Roberts, T.C. Stallings and Tea McKay. Based on true to life stories at a healing ranch for challenged teen girls in North Carolina Unbridled tells a tremendous story of redemption and triumph, with a message of unconditional love. Unbridled will be screened during the Festival and is also slated for a 2017 release.

The EQUUS Film Festival, sponsored by Protect The Harvest, runs Thursday thru Sunday November 17-20, 2016.
