When Grace is watching the video of Pilgrim jumping rails, the horse is not the same one used throughout the rest of the movie. The horse on tape has a blaze (white stripe) down the middle of his face. Throughout the rest of the movie, Pilgrim has a white star on his head. [It's never stated that she is riding Pilgrim in that video.]

In the scene where Grace watches the video of her and Pilgrim (the speaker in the video states that it is Pilgrim), the horse has a large blaze and not a star like in the rest of the movie. See more...
The Horse Whisperer (1998) - 4 corrections
Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

In the scene where Grace is watching old video footage (purportedly of her and Pilgrim), the horse shown going over the jumps is in fact a small pony. It is the right colour to be Pilgrim, but is a very much smaller animal. Pilgrim is about 16.1 hands high, the pony in the video looks about 12.2 hands high. [In the book Grace had a pony before her parents bought her Pilgrim. She might be looking on a video of her and the pony, remembering the days when she had two legs and could ride like that.]
If Pilgrim, the horse, is so badly hurt that everyone in New York wants to put him down, how does he survive a cross-country trip with no problems? [They at first wanted to put him down since he was so badly injured, but he survived. Then they felt he should be put down because of his psyche. At this point he was physically well enough for the travel. The book states that they had problems with him making noise in the trailer but he was silent at some parts and the driving scenes in the movie might have taken place during the moments he was silent.]
When Grace fails to climb the boy's horse, it seems like she can't get her left foot into the stirrup - the one that hasn't been injured. [She has difficulty getting her foot in the stirrup because she is trying to balance all her weight on her prosthetic leg. I can't imagine that being very easy for her since she has only been on it for a short time.]
