Shasta is a young boy who was found on the beach by a Calormene fisherman named Arsheesh. Arsheesh treats Shasta as a slave, and when Shasta overhears him agreeing to sell the boy to another high ranking Calormene, he decides to run away with the noble man's horse. He learns that the horse can talk, and that he's really a Narnian horse named Bree, so they set off on their adventure to return to Narnia. Along the way they meet another Narnian horse named Hwin and her rider Aravis who are fleeing an arranged marriage for Aravis. The four band together, and learn of evil plans to take over Narnia and neighboring lands. They ride quickly, crossing a lengthy dessert in order to warn Narnia and give them time to prepare for battle.
This felt too far removed from the Narnia series due to the fact that the main characters are not Pevensie children, but new characters. They also don't return in future books, making it seem a little removed.
Netflix rating? 3/5 stars.
