Love story between horse and villagers hits the big screen

It's an unlikely love story that took an unheralded horse from a stable on a Welsh slag heap to arguably the world's most famous jump race -- and his unconventional owners from the remote Welsh Valleys to the big screen of the Sundance Film Festival. Not a bad return for a small-time syndicate whose interest was piqued by a poster pinned up in the bar of a working men's club in a recession-hit mining village a decade ago -- and an animal with Hollywood good looks who was almost put down after suffering a serious injury.
