Ride a Wild Pony

Ride a Wild Pony is a 1975 family adventure film produced by Walt Disney Productions, directed by Don Chaffey and based on the novel A Sporting Proposition by James Aldridge.

Although based on an Australian story, the film was originally intended to be rewritten to fit an American setting. However, the producer, Jerome Courtland, determined that an Australian background would not detract from the films potential for success in the US. As a result, the film was not only set in Australia, but employed a largely Australianbased cast. Ride a Wild Pony was filmed in the historic town of Chiltern, Victoria. Several different Welsh mountain ponies were used in the films production.Shooting began in October 1974 and mostly took place in the small town of Chiltern near Wodonga in Victoria. ........
