What happens

The Horsemasters is a 2-part episode of the Disneyland TV show from 1961 which screened theatrically in some countries. The film was one of several Disney films that was shot in England. The hunt scenes were filmed at Thursley in Surrey, where the Three Horseshoes public house was used as a backdrop. It was Annette Funicello's first co-starring role in a feature film. The film included a song written by the Sherman Brothers, the first song which the duo ever wrote for a Disney project. The film received a comic book adaptation in the Four Color series by Dell Comics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
