Movies

Although others have pointed out the improbabilities of the film, they aren't any worse than other films like Days of Thunder, etc....With that said, the storyline was enjoyable, and the entire film was a great diversion. It's worth watching!

I have to sort of disagree with one of the reviews that a horse can't "change it's training". There have been many that changed their careers. However, I don't think this horse would be one of those. There is just too much information and access to real barrel racers that could have made the show much more realistic. First of all, a barrel race is just that - a race - not a trot and lope around the barrels! While they did try to get a lot of the lingo correct, they could have done better. There was just so much potential with this show, but it fell way short. Still a good, clean family film that to the non horseman or non barrel racer would be quite entertaining.

Very poor research into the world of youth rodeo and horses in general. In a world where Fallon Taylor is promoting helmet safety in barrels and riding in NFR promoting safety should be a priority. Also a girl from a hunter jumper world would be more likely to wear a helmet. All the sabotage would not be tolerated and is not tolerated in any junior rodeos. A sheriff would be called and a report made and probably an arrest. Ranch kids might play around but would never try to run down a horse and rider intentionally. My kids compete in junior rodeos and have been for years so I do have a basis in my review. If any kids where to act as maliciously as those portrayed here they would not be competing anywhere. Very disappointing movie overall.
