They're not allowed to run until they're a certain age.

They're only allowed to run a certain amount.

I mean, it's like as opposed to here in the States where it's like run them into the ground, make as much money as you can, then grind them up and move on to the next one.

It's really gross.

Yeah.

Not all of them, but a lot of them are going to go off and make a hundred million dollars.

And it's what they've wanted to do their whole life.

The horses really have no choice.

Well, they also, this is one of the things that this film actually addresses that you just talked about a little bit with young athletes is the age of an athlete when they're,

should be allowed to compete at a high level right and it's one of those things where that's up for debate there's people that say hey we should be paying high school and college athletes because you know they're gonna blah blah blah and they're doing this and yeah but your bodies can get destroyed at a young age i don't know it's a weird combination but anyway that's not what we're here to talk about no that's a different movie we're uh talking about ready to run so let's do that uh ready to run debuted on july 14th in the year 2000 and it includes some

Interesting names from within the world of comedy, even if for what only seems like a few seconds and for very strange reasons.

which makes it even weirder that this movie has been almost completely erased from everyone's memories.

We've talked about this before, but when it comes to being a Disney Channel original movie, there are the Brinks, the High School Musicals, the Johnny Tsunamis, and then there's the Ready to Runs.

So there just isn't a lot of information about this one, but let's get through the very little we do know about it.

It was filmed in Auckland, New Zealand, and it was nominated for a Golden Reel Award in the field of Best Sound Editing for a TV movie by the Motion Picture Sound Editors Union.

And yes, this is a talking horse movie, though it absolutely feels like that was added at the last minute.

Obviously, a theme made famous by the legendary show Mr. Ed.

Did you see Mr. Ed ever?

Oh, yeah.

Of course.
