About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a wholesome, old-fashioned, horse-centered underdog story with romance and heart, like Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron or Prancer; Not for you if animal stunts or sugary melodrama put you off.
Pros: inspiring perseverance story; family-friendly tone; heartfelt horse bond | Cons: sappy romantic beats; uneven TV-movie feel; uneasy animal-act premise
