Oh my goodness I hate Flicka... This movie doesn't sound half bad actually! I might watch it if it goes on Netflix later on. I know of one horse movie (actually, mule movie) with a well adjusted girl, and she had previous horse experience so I wasn't constantly yelling at the TV while she was training the mule. She also didn't bitch when she was given the mule like normal movie horse people do. The movie is called "Storm Rider". It's not perfect, but I like it
