They actually found a couple with chemistry and showed a deft touch with the family relationships, thanks to Corbin Bernsen. If this were just a romance/family movie, it would have been fine.
Unfortunately, the riding is an important part of the story and this movie just doesn't make the equestrian scenes interesting or realistic. This might be a Hallmark film that would have been better made in Canada. Maybe then they could have gotten some of the experts from the CBC series Heartland, who know how to shoot realistic versions of all styles of horsemanship.

...from the new more serious Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. I like how the background story was revealed, but I am not giving anything away. While Madeline Grace Popovich is a bit old to play a fifteen year old, she gets the attitude about right.
A nice film about a family moving on without "letting go."
A solid 7, at least.

I like Hallmark recommitting itself to serious family films under its Movies & Mysteries banner. It is a nice break from TV mystery reruns, although new Hallmark Signature mysteries are always welcome.
Leave the fluffy, formulaic romances on regular Hallmark and give this service more depth.
They are off to a fair start.
