I won't go into the storyline, as many have already done so. This is a great movie for preteens and younger teens. There are many lessons to be learned. Most kids (At least ours did.) see rules and chores as a form of punishment instead of a form of love and protection. This movie does, in fact, show this very well. Kids can see that Carrie's dad does love her and is encouraging her to learn the lessons of hard work, (None of her chores were that hard.) honesty and true friendship.
Being ranch and horse people, we noticed a few mistakes. The using of different horses for different scenes is pretty much normal and understandably necessary, but I do wish they would get the genders of the horse accurate. A gelding should not be used to depict a mare. I do wish someone would check to make sure a man wearing a belt gets the belt through all of the belt loops. 🙄
Having spent a few of my childhood years living in Beautiful B. C., it was wonderful to see the beautiful countryside.
Someone reported that reining is not that popular in the northwest, not true. Some 55 years ago my dad completed in a couple of reining and cutting classes in Kamloops, where part of this movie was filmed. (This brought back many warm and fuzzy memories.) Horse people love compitetion of any kind, whether it be roping, cutting reining or whatever.
