Synopsis

When her mother dies tragically in a car accident, 17-year-old Jessie is taken in by her aunt and uncle, in Western Montana. She finds herself in a new school, with the unexpected attention of a cocky bull rider- and an almost impossible need to hold on to the one connection she has with her mother: barrel racing. Doing anything she can to get around horses, Jessie does not give up on her dream, despite not having a horse of her own. But when her Uncle Mick finds a deal on a cutting horse that has been deemed useless, Jessie finds a new hope in life, and the chance at barrel racing she's been needing.

    Look, I'm a simple gal, I grew up on Pony Pals: I see a horse movie, I like. I didn't go in expecting much and in return I got some beautiful scenery and lovely horsemanship. Much of the acting was only a little better than 'student film' quality, but at the same time, I…

    There's something deeply unsettling about all of this and it isn't just that the school bully appears to be 35
