The Sad Horse is a 1959 American drama film directed by James B. Clark, written by Charles Hoffman and starring David Ladd, Chill Wills, Rex Reason, Patrice Wymore, Gregg Palmer and Eve Brent.

The unhappy Leslie is seeking a divorce from husband Bill and sees the child's Hansel as a replacement for the horse's dog.

Jackie resists and she bribes Captain Connors with a $5,000 trust fund for the boy.

Jackie and the dog head off to the hills, looking for a rumored buried treasure that could keep his grandfather from needing the woman's money.

Bart returns and persuades Jackie that giving up the dog would be a grand gesture, and he agrees.
