A Gift Horse

Cute, but corny. The people in the move really don't know much about riding horses. The message is good though. It would be great for kids. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/6/2021

Horse officianados are complaining About silly details they say are Incorrect in the real horseworld... BUT NOBODY CARES that doesn't Have any bearing on a well told story with good acting, beautiful scenery, animals & it doesn't hurt Looking at Mr. Schneider who is Getting better looking as he ages. No bad language etc. And mentions God in a positive way as well as teaching life lessons. Some haters are perhaps jealous they were not in the movie. I'm going to buy more Copies to give as gifts.

This movie is. awful. Four instance when you are jumping you don't put splint boots on the front legs and polo wraps on the back it's just common sense. Another thing you don't throw sand at a horse to make it go at is a good way to get yourself kicked or hurt another thing is is who would wear a cowboy hat and cowboy boots to an English born like that. The directors need to get a little more research done before they make a movie. This movie was really poorly directed. In my opinion this is one of the most dangerous looking situations for any person or horse I've seen in a movie. I know Kyla Kennedy she went to my school and she is the least qualified person to ride a horse I've seen in my entire life.

Just watched it, and enjoyed it. I don't know much about horses, but the story works for me. And neither the acting nor the directing were a problem for me. It's a good, uplifting story of a little girl coping with the death of her mother. Horse-riding was their shared passion, so she buries herself in working at a tycoon's ranch. She falls in love with this particular horse, and commits herself to turning it into a jumping champion. There are a couple of interesting subplots. Amanda's father has a new girlfriend who's trying to earn her acceptance. A poor boy becomes Amanda's friend. And the tycoon's own daughter's brattiness is concealing her own difficulties. Praise to this movie for mentioning God as a guide in people's lives!

I don't write reviews but this was so horrible I had to make an account and comment.... as a professional horseback rider and instructor this movie was unrealistic and the riders equitation (simply their positioning and riding) was horrible it all honestly made me cringe. I had to watch to the end just because I was so stunned. These horses were such saints and put up with so much from these actors like dropping the reins or riding with their hands by their noses and practically falling over their necks. STUNNED Mississippi College allowed their horses to be used in this way.
