I have been looking for a cartoon that I remember seeing when I was very little, I remember it being in a very different style then what I was used too. It was about a boy who somehow got wishes and all I remember is he had 2 or 3 really beautiful horses and a donkey that was special to him... I believe the donkey was named Fitz... Fritz something with an F. In part of the story they capture some really pretty birds and there is really pretty nightscape in a field (not that, that is overly helpful to remember the landscape in a cartoon but I remember it vividly). I've been able to track down most of the cartoons that stuck with me as a kid growing up in a small town I would always dig through cartoon collections in video stores and libraries looking from something different, this is one of the only ones I haven't been able to track down, I still have dreams about it sometimes... I don't think I'm making this up... I'm really not that creative but no one I know remembers it and I wouldn't put it past my brain to be combining two cartoons so if part of this sounds familiar and part doesn't then please suggest anything that resembles this.
Searching for a memory
Try this--It's called "The Magic Pony" it's an English dub of a Russian animated film known as "The Humpbacked Horse." You are correct, the pony's name is indeed Fitz.

Well that makes sense I come from a Russian Ukrainian immigrant community I must have dug it out at the library. I assumed it was some anime or other and for the life of me could not find this again.
Wow re-watching this I now know why I was so captivated despite being so old it really is a beautiful film, and the character dances about in it a lot I probably enjoyed it so much as a kid because well number 1: Pretty Horses number 2: I was in folk dance classes when I was young I recognize some of the dance steps of the character and music in the film. This is so so cool to rediscover and I'm so glad it's as awesome as I remember.
Glad I could help. The Russian version with English subtitles is quite beautiful too--it rhymes.
