Luia Benz and Marsha Mason star in this adventure of the heart about a single mother looking for a new start and finding that miracles do happen if you have the courage to make them come true.
A real tearjerker right out of the gate! Julie Benz shines in this. A must watch!

Good Values and Lessons to Learn

"This was an awesome film, which I enjoyed watching. Horse lovers will enjoy it too. It deals with a lot of everyday life trials as well as those extra ones that seem to show up at just the wrong time. But, faced head on and a lot of faith you can get through it all. The scenes that had the husband in them always had an foul word or two, so if children are viewing watch out. Had those few words be edited I would have given it 5 stars. I look for family viewing items. Check it out and see what you think."

"Julie Benz is a fantastic focus of a woman who overcomes more than a fair share of hardship. Her tactic of riding at night has always been a favorite of mine and tugged at my heartstrings. This movie was definitely made for horse lovers as almost every single shot is horses horses horses. Pointedly, there are a few horses that constantly appear, woven into the storyline to effectively become your friends as well. Regretfully there are some slow spots in the movie, however,anyone who has attempted showing in Dressage, from the first painful day of sitting in that saddle to that first ribbon will identify with this movie making it well worth their while."
LOVE IT!!!!!!

I definatley recomend this movie if you're a horse lover. I've been riding for 4 years and absoultly love this movie. Watch it!!!!
It's about a women Annie who has a Jack a** husband who abandans her with their 9 yr old daughter and Annie's horse Tolo. Having no where to go she finds a job at a stable that gives her money and board. The owner Mary Lou sees Annie has very good talent in dressage. She enters a musical dreesage show. But before the show Tolo goes blind and Annie loses feeling in her leg after falling form a latter. She has to enter on Mary Lou's horse Red and she does but on the day of the show her husband comes and hurts Red so she Has to TOlo who can't Canter. So she rides him and wins.
It doesn't sound good when I write but you have to see it if you weant to see it before you buy go to hallmarkchannel.com and look up the movie and it will give you dates it plays.

"If the girls in your house like schmaltzy TV movies, we recommend this movie. Our girls loved "The Long Shot." It's got pretty music, pretty horses, pretty scenery, and pretty people (except for a nasty villain who gets what he deserves). Our girls laughed and cried in all the right places, and smiled great big smiles at the ending. Cool!"
