When the owner of a Yorkshire coal-mine decides to mechanize to increase profits, the mine’s pit ponies are scheduled to be destroyed. So, three children plan to steal them to keep them safe. But when they’re caught, it’s up to the mine owners and the miners themselves to decide what’s right.
“I enjoyed learning about the history of pit ponies. I never even knew they existed until I saw this movie. This movie is rich in history, culture, u0026amp; customs. The story revolves around 3 kids who live in a mining town, two boys u0026amp; a girl. The girl is the bosses daughter so she has better clothes u0026amp; instead of going to school she has a live-in Governess who teaches her. Sheu0026#39;s not supposed to play with the boys because theyu0026#39;re minorsu0026#39; kids. See what I mean by history u0026amp; culture? Thereu0026#39;s a cave-in accident u0026amp; some minors get stuck. They are running out of oxygen. The ponies are able to find them. When the boss decides to replace the ponies with machines the kids break tradition u0026amp; worked together to keep the ponies from being destroyed. Fascinating stuff u0026amp; a good ending for the ponies.”
