Ride Like a Girl

Michelle Payne is real, she grew up as the youngest of 10 after her mother was tragically killed in a car wreck in 1986 when Payne was only 6 months old. Her dad was a trainer, she grew up with horses, her ambition always was to be a jockey.

I like Teresa Palmer, she is in the role as Michelle Payne and even looks a bit like her. This is a really well-made movie of a great story. It isn't just horse racing, it spends a good amount of time on family dynamics too.

My wife and I watched it on DVD from our public library.
