Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

Based on a true story, Second Chances is the uplifting tale of a little girl's physical and emotional reawakening after a car crash claims her father and her spirit. The accident leaves 10-years-old Sunny Mathews (played by award winning child actress Kelsey Mulrooney) unable to walk without crutches. However, the damage to Sunny's legs pales in comparison to her emotional wounds, which cause her to withdraw from life and everyone around her. Miraculously, things begin to change when Sunny and her mother Kathleen (Isabel Glasser--Pure Country, Forever Young) move next door to a horse ranch run by one-time rodeo star Ben Taylor (Tom Amandes--The Long Kiss Goodnight). Sunny's recovery begins as she develops an affinity for Ben, and a love for a mean-spirited, crippled horse named Ginger. This inspirational family film also stars Academy Award winning actor Stuart Whitman, Academy Award nominees, Theodore Bikel and Terry Moore, plus Charles Shaughnessy and Madeline Zima from television's The Nanny.

A Kid's Review

Hello I am 9 years old! And this movie is defintly for horse lovers in my age range! I saw it on tv and wanted it so bad!! I kept on looking for it and now is my victory!! It's about a girl who hurts her leg and moves to a moter home after her dad and her are in a car crash and she's hurt on her leg and the dad died! She found that there was a horse farm behind her house!! then she gets in a pen with a horse that nobody can handle ! The horse rears!(remeber she is on a crutch from her leg). The guy says get out kid you'll die from her!! Than the horse stops rearing and LET"S HER PET HER! It was a mericale! I cannot tell you the rest beacuse it will take away the suprise but I want to thank everyone who made and put this on tv! I loved it so much! I cannot tell you how much!! So I hope Sunny(the girl or acter) get's to live a horsey life! And ginger the horse live's long!!
