The Waltons: The Thoroughbred (1974)

Synopsis of The Waltons: The Thoroughbred

John-Boy (Richard Thomas) enters the family mule Blue in the annual cross-country race, in which his chief competition is the thoroughbred horse owned by his friend Carl (Brendan Burns). As the last member of the Walton family who actually won this race (way back in 1915!), Grandpa (Will Geer) hopes that John-Boy will benefit from his expertise--but Grandpa would have been better off advising the boy not to lose his sense of perspective (which he does rather quickly!) As it turns out, the real "prize" in this competition is the beautiful Selena Linville (Kathleen Quinlan), who happens to be riding on behalf of John-Boy's rival. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
