In this dramatic 15-second recreation from the upcoming feature film My Buddy from Brooklyn, we witness a defining moment in the life of Barbara — a young, fearless equestrian from California — and her first encounter with legendary horseman Buddy Jacobson at Saratoga Springs.
Set in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the scene opens with tension already in the air. Buddy Jacobson, known for his uncanny ability to read even the most unpredictable horses, is struggling to calm a powerful, agitated thoroughbred in the training paddock. Dust swirls, leather reins twist, and the energy crackles in the air as the agitated horse jerks, lunges, and resists every attempt to control it.
Buddy, slender in this era and dressed in tan horse-trainer boots, camouflage fatigues, and a cream-colored rolled-sleeve shirt, is visibly frustrated — and more than a little worn from wrestling with the animal. He’s dirty, sweating, and laser-focused on preventing the horse from hurting itself or anyone nearby.
That’s when Barbara walks in.
A young woman with dark brown hair and sandy-blond highlights, wearing classic riding boots, she doesn’t hesitate — not even for a second. No fear. No flinch. Just instinct.
She steps directly into the paddock area, ignoring Buddy’s half-shouted warning. Then something incredible happens…
Barbara performs a series of calm, deliberate movements:
• lunging gestures
• a slow head-lowering motion
• mirroring the horse’s breathing rhythm
Almost instantly, the wild energy shifts. The horse’s ears soften, its neck relaxes, and its breathing slows. What had been a volatile, dangerous situation suddenly becomes peaceful — all because Barbara knew exactly what the animal needed.
Then comes the moment that seals her place in Buddy’s world:
Barbara steps forward and gives the once-violent horse a gentle, loving hug.
Even Buddy has to stop and stare.
This is the moment that surprises even him, a man who believed he had seen it all in the horse world.
With his famously dry delivery — and without cracking a smile — Buddy mutters the now-iconic line:
“You’re in luck, kid. Ya came just in time for goulash. Join us at the backstretch dorm, Barn 6.”
This was the beginning of an unlikely bond — one that would carry emotional weight, cinematic tension, and a touch of destiny throughout the rest of the film.
This upcoming motion picture explores the life of Howard “Buddy” Jacobson, a charismatic, flawed, brilliant New York horseman whose rise and fall shook the racing world, nightlife circles, and the underbelly of 1970s America.
The film blends:
🌟 true events
🐎 horse-racing drama
💔 personal conflict
🔥 crime-world pressure
🗽 New York culture of the era
Each scene — including this one with Barbara — is crafted to show how and why Buddy became the man he ultimately did.
