As someone who's never really given much thought to horses, but has a love for many other animals, Equus is a remarkably beautiful and informative documentary profiling not just horses themselves, but also the history, cultural impact and scientific study of horses. The two part docu-series begins by highlighting horses in a scientific sense, by illuminating their anatomy and how it functions. The second episode documents a large portion of the history and various genetic offshoots of horses, as well as how humanity has made a lasting impact on them. This whole production is absolutely gorgeous and has amazing production value and aesthetic style. From labs, to stables, to various remote locales, this documentary films it all. It's a tad slow for the younger crowd, but tweens to adults will appreciate the beauty and interesting factoids found throughout this excellent documentary. I recommend it for ages 9 to 18, as well as adults and give it 5 out of 5 stars for being interesting and beautifully filmed. Reviewed by Rachael V., KIDS FIRST! Juror
