Melissa Gilbert is the tough-talking teenage orphan cowpoke whose natural talent and determination transform her into a prize-winning equestrian. Soapy subplots abound: She has a drunken reluctant mentor (Richard Farnsworth, in a fine turn), fights the court to raise her two younger brothers in a rundown trailer, and protests too much against a would-be sweetheart (Michael Schoeffling, the resident hunk of Sixteen Candles). Yet there is poetry in the scenes of Gilbert riding Sylvester through the hills and magical footage of Farnsworth secretly training the horse by moonlight. Even the trite dialogue ("Did you kill their dreams like you're killing mine?") fails to do in the modern fairy tale. It's a pretty darn imperfect world Gilbert and friends inhabit, which in its own plodding way makes it seem like real life, despite the unlikely journey from jeans to jodhpurs. --Valerie J. Nelson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Love this movieThis movie has quite a bit of language, brief nudity and violence, so it is not for your little horse-crazy girl. Having said that, it is a great movie for older teen, and adult, that still loves horses and longs to compete in the upper levels of English riding. It follows Charlie(Melissa Gilbert), a girl who trains a cow horse to go to the 3-day Event in Kentuky. Lots of great riding scenes, both western and english, a side love story between Charlie and Matt, played by the same actor as Jake Ryan ... Read More Rating:  - Ride on!This was an excellent horse movie in most respects, a rags-to-riches story in which a young Texas cowpoke turns a wild horse into a three-day eventing star. Along with the main story, there is family drama as Charlie (Melissa Gilbert) struggles to keep her family together and balance out her love-life. For the most part, this flick would be suitable for all audiences but there is a rather graphic attempted rape near the beginning and a fight later on in the movie. I would recommend this movie for ...

An excellent movie of rags to riches. I would highly recommend it to any horse lover out there! Rating: - Great Family MovieI was looking for a family movie for all to watch. This one certainly did the job. We all enjoyed it. If your looking for a movie for the family to watch together or enjoy family movies yourself, this is a good choice. Rating: - SylvesterI bought the movie for a friend for Christmas because Sylvester is my all-time favorite horse movie, it's the best horse movie out there. My friend seems to enjoy it as much as me if not more. It is a fantastic movie about Three-Day Eventing, and it is the best horse movie I've ever seen. |
