Sadly Over-hyped

It is a performances centric movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

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.

My eye twitched the whole time. First off the first girl who couldn't ride the horse I found myself screaming at her to tighten her reigns because they're so loose they're bouncing all over the place. I sat there going "Tighten the reigns with a small half halt use leg and get the horse to trot." Then screaming to sit up and don't look down. She doesn't move with the horse at the walk and she kicks the horse with the side of her foot. You use your heel and you don't go straight to kicking. That girl also over used her crop way to much. But this seemed to be a big theme through out the movie. I agree with another reviewer. If you throw sand at a horse it's a good way to get kicked.

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.

This movie was not good, I have been riding for quite a few years now and I can only jump 2.9 but the riding in this movie was terrible. The posture was awful, they were hunched over and always leaning forward they didn't even have to 2 point, I am surprised they weren't falling off when jumping. Also this movie is completely unrealistic you can't sprain a horses ankle because you pulled to hard on there reins will trotting, also why were you even pulling on the reins the horse wasn't moving anywhere. Plus where was everyone else in the barn there were a total of 2 girls there and now one isn't even riding anymore! Another unrealistic thing is that if that girl had been riding since she was 6 then why was she such a bad rider, her and the little girl were the same level. Last the girl would have never won the competition she would have been last place defiantly. Even though there are many other things wrong with this movie I must stop here because I will run out of words. I give this movie the total of 0 stars but I can't give it that because apparently there is no such thing as a movie that bad.
