Product Description When the mother of 13-year-old Virginia (Letherman) dies in a riding accident, Virginia's father (Byrne) sells the horse and vows neverto let his two daughters ride. Defying him, Virginia nurses the horse's new colt, Stormy, and secretly trains with him at night. But when Stormy is sold, Virginia's sister and a sympathetic trainer (Whalley) must help convince her father that a girl needs free rein to grow. .com In the tradition of National Velvet, this Nova Scotia-set family film revolves around a 13-year-old with a passion for horses. Like Elizabeth Taylors Velvet, Virginia (Lindze Letherman) even has an older sister, Caroline (Rachel Skarsten). Sadly, her mother was killed in a riding accident three years ago and her father, Ford (Gabriel Byrne), has since forbidden Virginia to ride. Nonetheless, shes been visiting Twister in secret and is even with her when she gives birth to a foal. Virginia names him Stormy and he takes to her from the start, but to no one else--including owner Blake Raines (Robert Guy Miranda). So Blake sells the horse and Virginia is heartbroken. How is she going to compete in the Memorial Day endurance race? And where does Blake's new trainer, Jessie (Joanne Whalley), fit into the picture? Those questions--and others--will be answered before the end of this heartwarming adventure. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

This is a wonderful movie for all people who cherish family and have a horse in their family.
I am a grandmother who discovered horses when I was a child in books and t.v and movies. I met them at state fairs, and once in a while was lucky to get a pony ride. Horses had no place in my parents world. I high school I used my babysitting money to sneak off with my best friend to a riding stable io miles from my horse from our neighborhood. I kept a pair of jeans in my friend's garage so I could change into them before we left for the stable, and which I could leave there when I changed into the pants I wore there. We brought lunches with us and rode the 10 miles on our bikes just to be around horses for an hour or so. If my parents had found out that would have stopped my riding! I know how horrible it is to wait and work for something so out of reach. I used this movie to take me back to my own childhood. I remember the good times, stolen moments, patience, love, and times of hardships that good values guided me through. it was a fun and restful time!

Cute movie
"Heartland" meets "Trailer Park Boys." I like both of those shows so of course I enjoyed this movie.

good family movie.
Virginia tried to keep her father from knowing how much she loved horses. After her father realized he could not keep her away from horses he got her the one she wanted. Teenage Virginia rode her horse in a long race against a cheating rich guy.

HEART TO HORSE - THE GIFT OF LOVE
THIS WAS AN OUTSTANDING FAMILY FILM. THE VALUES OF FAMILY LIFE, TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY AND THE BONDING EXPERIENCE BETWEEN HORSE AND RIDER WERE BROUGHT INTO SHARP FOCUS. THIS IS A MOVIE THAT MAKES THE HEART GLAD AND THE SPIRIT SOAR. THE SCENERY, THE RIDING ADVENTURE AND INDEED THE ACTING WERE ALL WAY ABOVE LEVEL. AS A CLERGYMAN I HAVE INDEED ENCOUNTERED THE PAIN AND ANGST BROUGHT ON BY THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE. THIS FILM BRINGS HOPE AND THE GRACE OF HEALING AT EVERY TURN. MY SERMON FOR THE DAY: "CLOSE TO NATURE CLOSE TO GOD."

Lovely family film
Love the fact that the two sisters, one a teenager, the other a tweener, have a loving, affectionate relationship with each other and also with their dad. Unfortunately mom was killed while riding her horse, Twister, and Twister also expires in the movie's opening scene, while giving birth to Stormy, a beautiful roan colt. If you have a horse loving girl in the family this movie is a must. I would put it right up there with Moondance Alexander, and Flicka, Country Pride.

Virginia's Run
This is a wonderful movie which is suitable for both children and adults. An award winner. The setting is spectacular. The movie was shot in and around Shelburne Nova Scotia which I am most familiar with.
