Second Chances
Based on a true story, Second Chances is the uplifting tale of a little girl's physical and emotional reawakening after a car crash claims her father and her spirit. The accident leaves 10 year-old Sunny Mathews (played by award-winning child actress Kelsey Mulrooney) unable to walk without crutches. However, the damage to Sunny's legs pales in comparison to her emotional wounds, which cause her to withdraw from life and everyone around her. Miraculously, things begin to change when Sunny and her mother Kathleen (Isabel Glasser, Pure Country, Forever Young) move next door to a horse ranch run by one-time rodeo star Ben Taylor (Tom Amandes, The Long Kiss Goodnight). Sunny's recovery begins as she develops an affinity for Ben, and a love for a mean-spirited, crippled horse named Ginger. This inspirational family film also stars Academy Award-winning actor Stuart Whitman, Academy Award nominees, Theodore Bikel and Terry Moore, plus Charles Shaughnessy and Madeline Zima from television's The Nanny.

Good movie for the family - AlessasRevenge
Sunny (Kelsey Mulrooney) is having a rough time. Her father had died, she is on crutches recovering from a serious leg injury and she had to move with her mother to a trailer park.
But her spirits improve when she befriends a moody horse at the stable next door.
This is a good, inspirational movie for parents and their children alike.
Horse lovers will especially enjoy it.Sweet movie - suitable for the whole family - mustardseeds
This is a sweet movie! It's hard to find a movie that the entire family can watch and enjoy together, that doesn't leave you as a parent wishing you could fast forward a scene or wishing they left a scene or word out. You won't feel that way after watching this movie! There is joy and sadness, trials and triumphs, humor and a tiny hint of romance that no parent could object to.
And horse-loving children will just eat it up!
