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.
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!
I don't understand why this movie is being hated on. I feel as though it was well-made, inspiring, and heartfelt.
The story shows a very beautiful pony. I believe that it was probably a full-blooded Off the track Thoroughbred because it such a good mover. Also I would be scared to jump that high, and I don't think my Gypsy Vanner pony could jump that high.
The riders are amazing, they will probably go on to the Olympics and etc. someday. If you think they aren't good, you probably have no idea about horses and I would like to see you do better!! they have amazing three-point positions over the jumps (aka cross rails, verticals, and oxers)
The story made me cry, because one time my pony got colic so I could relate to Misty spraining her ankle. I think she got it because I kicked her too hard, just like how the little girl hurt her pony's foot by pulling on her rains. it is so hard to suffer the pain of knowing you have hurt you're horse.. luckily Misty recovered.
btw my Gypsy Vanner pony is named Prince (aka show name Prince of Charming) and he is black and white.
Anyway the story was realistic, and inspiring. Believe in your horse and u can soar just like me and Prince who are now showing in the 2'3" show jumping divisions :-)

I don't write reviews but this was so horrible I had to make an account and comment.... as a professional horseback rider and instructor this movie was unrealistic and the riders equitation (simply their positioning and riding) was horrible it all honestly made me cringe. I had to watch to the end just because I was so stunned. These horses were such saints and put up with so much from these actors like dropping the reins or riding with their hands by their noses and practically falling over their necks. STUNNED Mississippi College allowed their horses to be used in this way.
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.
