I am a cynical guy but I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Chrystee Pharris delivers a powerful performance as a young woman (Faith Houston) certain she's had an epiphany, a call to work at a horse farm in rural Texas which is dedicated to "hippo therapy" - helping challenged kids by introducing them to the love of horses. A lot of changes are in store for Faith, involving a whole strange gamut of experiences and emotions which are dramatic, funny and emotional, testing her confidence, courage and her faith. But it's all part of her transformation from cluelessness to wisdom. It's a simple, refreshing little movie filmed on location in various parts of Texas. The supporting cast is superb - with nice appearances by Ted Lange (Love Boat) and Tracey Ross (Passions). Kudos to all who pulled this independent project together and especially to Ms. Pharris in this her first star turn.
