Rent Shergar (1999)

Based on the true story of Shergar, Ireland's most decorated thoroughbred and perhaps the greatest racehorse of all time, who was kidnapped by IRA terrorists and held for a $2 million ransom. Terrorists Gavin O'Rourke and Dermot Concannon kidnap Shergar and steal him away to a remote farm. Unbeknownst to the kidnappers, a young teenage runaway named Kevin lives in the hayloft of the farm. When Shergar's owners refuse to pay the ransom, it is up to Kevin, the orphaned son of a jockey who himself dreams of becoming a great rider, to rescue Shergar. With the help of a kindly old stable hand and his granddaughter, Kevin embarks on a desperate ride, staying only steps ahead of the kidnappers and the authorities. As Kevin races Shergar toward the Cliffs of Mohar, he faces a monumental decision that will change his life forever!
