Heart of a Champion

This a nice movie to sit down and watch with the younger kids. The story is the usual affair of a young girl's parents going through a divorce and relocating to a new town. Charlie finds herself adjusting to a new school and some not so nice "mean" girls. To compensate for the lack of friends Charlie sets her sites on finding a horse with the help of her dad's friend. The ads provide some possible horses but none are in her budget. On the way home from a day of horse hunting they find a horse caught in some wire and rescue it. Charlie takes the horse back to the stable and they begin a search for the owner. As time goes by the owner doesn't appear and Charlie develops a real bond with the horse . Charlie's mom isn't crazy about Charlie's growing affection for the horse and worries about the real owner showing up to claim him. The drama comes later when a series of events threatens to keep Charlie competing in the rodeo and losing the horse. There's a happy ending and all is well.

This a show with no x rated surprises, the whole family will enjoy.
