Continuity mistake: In the final leg of the race, after Frank has taken the saddle off of Hidalgo, there are many shots of Frank riding Hidalgo. In one of the slightly wider shots that shows Frank, Hidalgo's back, and Hidalgo's neck, you can see the back of an English saddle under Frank's butt, even though he's supposed to be riding bareback.

Plot summary
Directed by: Joe Johnston
Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Omar Sharif, Louise Lombard, Zuleikha Robinson
The Arabian folks don't think that Frank Hopkins is the greatest rider ever. Apparently, you have to win this race called the Ocean of Fire to have that title. So Frank goes; not just to get some fancy title, but to figure out who he is. You see, his mum was native american and his dad wasn't, so he doesn't know where he belongs.
