About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, horse-centered coming-of-age story about finding confidence and following your instincts, similar in spirit to Heidi; Not for you if you dislike familiar family-movie formulas or dubbed dialogue.
Pros: heartfelt horse-human bond; uplifting outsider story; family-friendly tone | Cons: predictable story beats; uneven acting; some forced drama
