My daughters (Ages 10, 8, and 4) and I caught this movie on the local Trinity Newtork last night. We were all glued to the set to watch this heartfelt movie. I was pleased with the story line and actors. I was quite taken by the deep sense of compassion and forgiveness that the main little girl character, Sonny, portrayed in the end towards another little girl. As a horse owner, I did catch the fact that the writers used a male horse at times to portray the female horse "Ginger" in the script - however, my daughters did not catch this until I pointed it out to them. As well as they used an Arabian at one point in time to show "Ginger's" fancy movement, when in fact the horse Ginger was "said" to be a Quarter Horse breed. (Again, most people would not pick up on this and neither did my girls) Also, having over 30 years of horse experience including barrel racing, I know that it is highly unlikely that a little girl could jump on a powerful horse the first time and ride fast barrels like was shown in the movie... But this did not at all affect my daughters as they watched since kids of course are natural dreamers to a point of being unrealistic (which is a good thing). I highly recommend this movie if you're interested in wholesome story line. Note: there was a couple of times the word "dang it" was used in the beginning. There is also one scene in the beginning where Ben, the main adult character (cowboy at the ranch) strongly shakes the little girl Sonny, when she has gone into a presumed-dangerous horses pen without permission. It should be noted that this movie shows how Sonny chooses to disobey at least 3 times, and thus, suffers the consequences of doing so. As a parent, I liked how the movie shows kids that there ARE serious consequences to their disobedience. Excellent movie that I will get a copy of.

When 10-year-old Sunny Matthews (Kelsey Mulrooney) is crippled in a car accident that took her father's life, she's bereft. Then she meets Ginger, a horse who's been through his share of troubles. Together, the two form a bond and find a mutual talent for barrel-racing competitions. Although no care whatsoever was taken with the continuity of the horses who portrayed "Ginger" this uplifting kid flick is entertaining enough.

This is an excellent movie for any and all ages. It is entertaining and has a total surprise ending with an excellent true moral example. I cannot praise this movie enought. You do not get movies of this high caliber and most entertaining whether you like horses or not.
