A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I owned a blind horse who went blind later in life. Horses can smell food and water... that is why horses in a desert can find water 7 miles away!! They also have long hairs on their nose that they can use to feel their way around. And as for the other comment about horses not loading well, my horse loaded just fine. He was so in-tuned to me riding him that he could snake through forests with his front end going one way around a tree while his back end went the other way around the last tree. The people who got him from us used him for barrel racing. He was amazing.I liked this movie up until the horse went blind and the vet stopped making any sense what so ever!

This is not a great or complex movie but treats a family subject very well. It is refreshing for not having sex or bad language in it.Julie Benz is Annie Garrett. In a tragic turn of events when she was a teenager, her sister was killed in an accident and Annie's mother never was the same. Annie internalized this as her mother blaming her for the death, since the sister was running an errand that Annie had forgotten, so as an adult Annie had a very strained relationship with her mother.As a married woman with a young daughter, her life is further complicated by a husband who is very unreliable, and doesn't seem to really love Annie or their daughter, and regularly disappears.As the story starts, the family of three travel from Colorado to California for him to start a new job at a horse ranch, but when they arrive the job is gone. Quickly he is too. So Annie and daughter, broke, have to scrape for an existence.Their salvation is Marsha Mason as Mary Lou O'Brian, who runs a horse training farm, and agrees to hire Annie and let them stay in the guest house temporarily for $10 a night.The story develops from there as Annie blossoms on her own. Nice story. Gage Golightly, who at that age looked so much like a young Drew Barrymore, is the young daughter Taylor Garrett. John Livingston is the dastardly and unreliable husband Ross Garrett.SPOILERS: Annie also had her own horse, which came with an $8000 mortgage, and in the process he also became blind. Annie had been training for a show dressage competition, with $20,000 to the winner, using Mary Lou's red show horse, but the dastardly husband showed up and injured the horse, so she had to do the improbable, win the show on a blind horse. Which she did. She divorced her dastardly and unreliable husband and was developing a relationship with the nice local vet. Plus Annie and her mother began to heal their old wounds.

I love this movie so much! I saw it on the hallmark channel and every chance I got to watch it, I would. Then, 2 years later, they stopped airing it. Now, I got it on DVD, and I love it a lot! I watch it all the time! It sort of gives me an 'edge of your seat' kind of feeling. When I discovered how mean Ross Garret was, I wanted to yell at him. I don't have a horse, but when I watch this movie, I put myself into Annie's shoes. Then, when Tolo goes blind, I want to cry. When he can't canter, I feel frustrated. I really get into this movie. My Oh my gosh what happened feeling kicks in when Annie gets hurt on the ladder. When Ross tries to cripple Red, I start screaming at the television, as though Ross can really hear me. Finally, when Tolo wins after going blind, I cry happy tears.

Annie was so brave and charming and warm.. I'd like to have a wife like her(in the movie). That was a good mother, a role model. I respect her from the bottom of my heart.But however back to the filming process, wouldn't it be hard for Julia to control the horses? I love Tolo so much.. so beautiful and tame.This is a good production. Thanks for the director for making out such quality and healthy film. I salute you from the bottom of the heart dear director.The last scene of the movie was most touching when the family reunited. It was the best ending story I have ever known.
