Just watched it, and enjoyed it. I don't know much about horses, but the story works for me. And neither the acting nor the directing were a problem for me.
It's a good, uplifting story of a little girl coping with the death of her mother. Horse-riding was their shared passion, so she buries herself in working at a tycoon's ranch. She falls in love with this particular horse, and commits herself to turning it into a jumping champion.
There are a couple of interesting subplots. Amanda's father has a new girlfriend who's trying to earn her acceptance. A poor boy becomes Amanda's friend. And the tycoon's own daughter's brattiness is concealing her own difficulties.
Praise to this movie for mentioning God as a guide in people's lives!
Horse officianados are complaining
About silly details they say are
Incorrect in the real horseworld...
BUT NOBODY CARES that doesn't
Have any bearing on a well told story with good acting, beautiful scenery, animals & it doesn't hurt
Looking at Mr. Schneider who is
Getting better looking as he ages.
No bad language etc. And mentions
God in a positive way as well as teaching life lessons. Some haters are perhaps jealous they were not in the movie. I'm going to buy more
Copies to give as gifts.
I don't understand why the reviews are so negative. This movie is a great movie to watch with your family. I watched it with my 9 and 12 year old daughters. It has a great message about faith, hope and perseverance. It is a shame that the other reviews are too focused on the horse riding portion of the movie. While that portion may not be accurate, the movie focuses on values families should have. It touches upon not giving up, , having faith and believing in yourself, the importance of family, the importance of listening to your children and not ignoring them, the act of kindness and treating people with respect. This movie is worth watching if you want a movie to watch with your kids that does not pertain vulgar language, inappropriate scenes and want something that offers a healthy message.
Cute, but corny. The people in the move really don't know much about riding horses. The message is good though. It would be great for kids. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/6/2021
This movie is. awful. Four instance when you are jumping you don't put splint boots on the front legs and polo wraps on the back it's just common sense. Another thing you don't throw sand at a horse to make it go at is a good way to get yourself kicked or hurt another thing is is who would wear a cowboy hat and cowboy boots to an English born like that. The directors need to get a little more research done before they make a movie. This movie was really poorly directed. In my opinion this is one of the most dangerous looking situations for any person or horse I've seen in a movie. I know Kyla Kennedy she went to my school and she is the least qualified person to ride a horse I've seen in my entire life.
