Tim T. (FireflyDaddy) from IRON CITY, TN
Reviewed on 8/19/2013...
Why someone would give this movie a middle of the road rating I have no idea. Horses, young Melissa Gilbert and a love hate relationship. it has the thrill of competing the agony of defeat and the will to rise again. It has the rich the poor and the two classes clashing. It even has a monster, a green eyed one called jealousy, sorry no exploding buildings or gunfire.
This is a story about a girl and her horse. Girl loves horse but is too poor to keep horse. Girl has a dream but is to poor to ever see it come true. A girl loves a boy but he is just as poor as her and never going to make it big. It is a story of love and where there is love anything can happen.

The one that started it all
Maria Arosemena | Panamá | 04/05/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've always called this movite that...I went to see it in the theater when I was 5, and I fell in love with it. I'm a horse lover since birth, and I knew I wanted to do something with horses, but it was not until I saw this move that I found out what. I started taking classes and became an equestrian, I have my own "sylvester", and like for Charlie, he's my dream come true and one of the loves of my life. I'm 22 now and even 17 years after watching the movie for the first time, the footage of the cross country and the moolight training still make me want to cry. A great movie, specially for "all those little girls in love with horses" like myself. A good family movie too, I still find myself joking with my dad that he never thought that by taking me to the movies that afternoon that he was going to be spending so much on me and my horse some years after."
My Favorite Movie of all time
Holly Anne Balish | MD | 01/08/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Growing up riding, the only thing I ever wanted to do was event in the Rolex Kentucky 3-Day. I never did make it there for eventing but this movie was the next best thing. Me and my horse friends watched this movie endlessly...we still quote it when we see each other (Why don't you quit readin' and come help?). I doubt any movie could ever top this one for me....or any other wannabe eventer."
My fave equestrain movie
Kristen M. Hooker | queen creek, az usa | 02/05/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I saw this move about 5 years ago for the first time. I bought it as soon as I saw it on DVD. IT is such a great story and it's content as far as the eventing world goes is almost entirely accurate. It really should be rated more of a pg13 b/c of the language and some sexual content. It still is so worth buying."
