On set with Horses of McBride

From Bill Brioux of TV Feeds My Family:

  • Set visit: CTV’s Horses of McBride brings Aidan Quinn back to Calgary
    The holiday horsey tale stars Aidan Quinn, Kari Matchett and Mackenzie Porter as a dad, mom and daughter who love horses, hear two are in danger and spring to the rescue. It is based on a real-life rescue in 2008 that took place in McBride, B.C. An avalanche trapped two horses behind a wall of snow. The family Quinn and the others portray in the movie help dig them out. The CBC series Heartland beat this movie to the story a year ago in a special holiday episode featuring Nicholas Campbell as an ornery old cuss. But, hey, it’s a feel good story, no harm in doing it again. Read more.
