I know horse people have a hard time with the weak riding in films involving an equestrian theme but this one was painful! A national championship with people that couldn't even hold the reins properly? And the braiding jobs...I cringed. I mean try a little bit. Obviously no one at Hallmark has been to an A-rated horse show. Don't think they have even been to a schooling show because even super green riders on backyard ponies ride better and turn their horses out better. Now if the story had been decent I might have been able to tolerate the total miss on the equestrian side but the story was pretty pathetic as well. Just awful.
