This bittersweet chronicle about how a working horse finally gains
his freedom was inspired by a real animal and true events, yet its
underlying theme is about the universal value of friendship. The
hero is a sturdy draft horse: old, eccentric, and irritable. His
name, suitably enough, is Groucho. By day, he hauls a tourist
carriage around the heritage streets of Montreal. By night, he goes
home to a stable in a run-down, working-class district. When his
owner dies, Groucho feels the loss and is helped through it by the
ancient stableman, Doyle, who is also set in his ways. This is the
story of how they cope with each other, as well as the threat which
endangers their entire way of life.

might not be unrelated.
