I like the horse running freely at the beginning of the movie, watching the horse roll cutely on the grass, I know, this is what I like.


I believe there is a force in this world that lives beneath the surface,
something primitive and wild that awakens when you need an extra push just to survive,
like wildflowers that bloom after fire turns the forest back.
Most people are afraid of it, and keep it buried deep inside themselves.

But there will always be a few people who have the courage to love what is untamed inside us.

I think they're still looking for the same thing-
a place where they can be optimistic about the future,
a place that helps them to be who they really want to be...
...where they can feel that this life makes sense...
...a place where they can feel what I feel when I am riding Flicka.
'Cause when we're riding, all I feel...is free.

I believe in the world,
there is a force deep within the body There is
a raw, wild force
when you need to be pushed, and it will wake up
Like a forest scorched by fire, wildflowers always bloom especially lush
Most people are afraid of this force, so they keep it going Buried inside
but there are always a few people who can bravely embrace the untamed nature within us
...
I think they are still looking for the same thing
a place where they can see a bright future, a place where
they can be true to themselves
A place where they can feel a sense of meaning in life, a place where
they can feel the same as when I was riding Frika, free.

Flicka quotes

  • Nell McLaughlin: Give her the horse.

    Rob McLaughlin: No.

    Nell McLaughlin: C'mon honey, training her own horse will make her responsible for something and she'll feel proud of herself.

    Rob McLaughlin: Here it comes... psycho babble. This isn't about psychology. Now, this is about discipline and I'm not gonna reward bad behavior.

    Nell McLaughlin: That sure sounds like psychology to me.

    Rob McLaughlin: No. Horse.

  • Howard McLaughlin: Hey, keep your voice down!

    Katherine "Katie" McLoughlin: Nobody can hear us way out here.

    Howard McLaughlin: You didn't know? He's got hidden cameras and microphones everywhere!

    [Pretends to use a walkie-talkie in the fence post]

    Howard McLaughlin: Can you read me, Dad? Over. What's that? Yeah, yeah Dad, I'll tell her. Okay. Over and out. He said he doesn't need me. He said you're the one he needs... he just doesn't realize it yet.
