Library to show horse movies.
The Aiken County Public Library offers a movie marathon for lovers of horses and racing this weekend.
“The Derby Stallion” screens from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and “Virginia’s Run” screens from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Friday, and “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” will be shown from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and “Moondance Alexander” from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
All movies will be shown in the library’s first floor meeting room, and all showings are free and open to the public.
“It’s Aiken, and there aren’t any races this time of year, so we thought it would be fun to do movies about other races,” said library manager Michael Swan. “I’ve watched all these; they’re fun family movies about a variety of horse events – some are traditional races and some are a little more unusual. They’re also all inspirational stories; that’s something I enjoyed about them all.”
Swan noted that most of the movies, though of good quality, were not big hits at the time of their release. “The Derby Stallion,” released in 2005, is probably the best known thanks to the success of its star Zac Efron in the High School Musical franchise.
