Quotes:
« Albert Narracott: We'll be alright Joey. We're the lucky ones, you and me. Lucky since the day I met you.
»
« Rose Narracott: [to Ted] I might hate you more, but I'll never love you less.
»
« Emilie: And you've never done a brave thing in your life?
»
« Grandfather: Maybe there are different ways to be brave. Did you know the French have the best carrier pigeons? And this could be the difference in the war – our messages getting through.
»
« Emilie: I don't want to hear about the birds.
»
« Grandfather: They are released at the front and told to go home – this is all they know. But to get there they must fly over war. Can you imagine such a thing? Here you are flying over so much pain and terror – and you know you can never look down. You have to look forward or you'll never get home. I ask you – what could be braver than that?

Plots:
A young farm boy enlists to serve in World War I after his beloved horse is sold to the cavalry. His hopeful journey takes him out of England and onto the front lines as the war rages on.
On the outbreak of the First World War, Albert’s beloved horse ‘Joey’ is sold to the Cavalry by his Father. After being sent to France, in a bid to survive, Joey has an unexpected journey across war torn Europe. Albert enlists in the British Army, and is wounded during the Battle of the Somme. Whilst recovering in Hospital, he learns of a Horse, found in no mans land.
Down to his last penny, Ted Narracott, a former Second Boer War veteran and now a farmer in Devon, England, outbids his cruel landlord, Mr Lyons, at an auction and buys a thoroughbred colt. As his son, Albert, forms a close bond with Joey, the family’s beautiful, graceful, and muscular male horse with the shiny coat, World War I breaks out, and the noble beast changes hands. Now, from the harsh mountainous landscapes of Devon, and the battle-scarred fields of the no man’s land near the River Somme, brave Albert embarks on a peril-laden adventure across war-torn northern France, bent on finding his beloved Joey. Will Albert ever reunite with Joey, the fearless warhorse?
