Hidalgo (2004) 12 of 13

Viggo stars as Frank T. Hopkins, a star of Wild Bill's Wild West show and endurance race champion who travels to Arabia with his mustang Hidalgo to compete in a 3,000 mile long race across the desert for a $100,000 purse. Set in 1890, the story is somewhat based on actual events; Hopkins competed into his 60s and allegedly won more than 400 long-distance endurance races, remaining a strong advocate for the preservation and protection of wild mustangs in the US.

Does anyone know the name of the Native American chant he's singing? I've heard that song in a dream I had 18 years ago.

Watch how hidalgo works his lrgs in pairs,vs the other horses trying to work their legs indipendantly to go fast. You'll see why hidalgo is a winner. This movie is based on true historical fact.
