[horse whinnies]

[Diane] Easy, boy.

- [horse whinnies] - Whoa!

- Easy there. - You're safe now.

That's it.

We're your new family.

- [horse grunts] - Whoa!

- Whoops! - [Bradley] Diane!

Ahhhh!

[horse grunts]

Think maybe he's past saving?

[horse whinnies]

No one's past saving.

[Radio DJ] It's gonna be a beautiful day

here in Sunset Valley.

It's nice to have all that summer heat behind us.

Still a chance of thunderstorms

in the high deserts,

but we're looking at temperatures here

in the low-to-mid- seventies

with clear skies.

Friends, don't forget it's inventory clearance time

at Calabasas Saddlery,

where you can find everything you need

for your steed, at up to half-off.

And now, back to Country music so fresh,

you could step in it.

[sighs]

Hey, it's just until we get our feet under us,

okay, kiddo? The inside's better.

[sighs]

I used to have one like her.

Her name was Bubble Gum.

But Rascal ate her.

[dog barks]

Ya know, Ripley's had it kind of hard lately,

and she needs a mom.

Would you like to be her new owner?

Really? I'll keep her safe from Rascal. I promise.

Mommy! Mommy! Look what I got!

Oh, cute. What do you say?

Thank you!

Welcome to the neighborhood.

[sizzling]

Hey, you want to learn to fix a P-trap?

Do I have to?

Gives us a break on the rent.

Come on, kiddo. We've gotta work together here.

It's the only way we're going to survive.

- [tools clang] - [Jack] Ow!

Alright.

Lord, we thank you for your provision,

no matter how small.

We ask you to help us through change,

no matter how big.

[lightbulb pops]

[Mandy] Amen.

[rock music plays]

You gonna be okay?

[school bell rings]

I love you!

[school announcer] Attention staff

and student leaders.

There will be an ASG meeting

held in the LGR room right after school today.

It's time again for the high school musical.

[Bradley] So what do you call a frog

that runs in front of a car?

Uh, tired.

[Bradley laughs]

I hate Math.

Isn't this Chemistry?

You're new here, aren't you?

Is it that obvious?

I like your braids. I'm Lauren.

- Mandy. - [bell rings]

Alright!

Good morning!

[class mumbling] Good morning.

Who can tell me what color this water is?

I hate Chemistry, too.

Ah, you need to expand your vision.

So often our perception is limited

by what we think we see

Should we try it again?

- Huh? - [class] Whoa!

[teacher] Ahhh?

[teacher] This class isn't just about

equations and Periodic tables.

It's about transformation.

- That was pretty cool. - Yeah.

[teacher] Alright.

Hey.

Hey.

[teacher] Let's go over

rule number one in this class.

Don't lick the spoon.

So, what, your Dad got fired?

Yeah, kind of. The company just downsized.

He had to take the first thing he could find.

[Lauren] What about your mom?

Did you see Bradley's new haircut?

[Sarah] I didn't think he could get any cuter.

Right?

Hey, Bradley! Want to have lunch with us?

Thanks, but we were gonna go eat outside.

Oh. Okay.

See you around.

Guys, this is Mandy.

Mandy hates Chemistry too.

- Mmm hmm. - Mandy this is Zoey

and Sarah.

Zoey has had a crush on Bradley since...

- Birth. - Yeah. Pretty much.

So, it's your first day?

- Yeah, we just moved. - Oh, where do you live?

We're in temporary housing.

Where?

Over on Riverside.

Oh, you mean the mobile home park.

Oh, well, that's...

nice.

Since we all hate Chemistry,

how about a study group this weekend?

At...

my house.

[bell rings]

[rock music plays]

[doorbell rings]

- Hi. - Come on in.

Thanks.

Nice house.

Yeah. It's alright.

Are your parents home?

Occasionally. They're at some event

for my Dad's law firm. I don't even know.

- Hey. - Hi!

[sportscaster] Three-year-old Squirt

is the newcomer to watch in this field.

But of course, the favorite is BellaBop,

who wants to make sure everyone knows

this is her house.

[Mandy] Is that you?

Yep. Just moved up to jumpers.

My trainer says I'm gonna be great.

Ugh... I'm so over it.

Boring!

You guys, we should do something fun.

You guys wanna take the quads out?

- Really? - Yeah!

Quads?

[engine noises]

Where's the finish line?

We are the finish line.

- Wooo!! Ha ha. Nice!!! - Thank you.

Alright, Mandy. Your turn.

Are you sure we're allowed to be out here?

Relax. My Dad and I offroad here

all the time.

Let's see what you got.

What's the matter?

They don't have fun where you're from?

[rock music plays]

Ready?

Wait. Which one's the brake?

Go!

♪ Let's go, let it go

♪ Give it all you got

♪ Like the comeback kid

♪ We're gonna

♪ Rise to the top

♪ Amazin', what a win

♪ Put on a show

♪ Hit the road

♪ Then you'll know

♪ That we're comin' on home

♪ We'll never let you down

♪ Yeah we hit the bottom

♪ But we'll come around

♪ Until we hear the roar

♪ Of that screamin' crowd

♪ And it's okay, it's alright

♪ I won't stop until

♪ I win this fight

♪ You just gotta believe

♪ Just gotta believe

♪ Just wait and see

♪ Wait and see

I wonder if Mandy's alright?

Come on.

I'm sure they're getting along just fine.

Here they come!

Look at her, she's in front!

Come on, Zoey! Don't let her win!

- You've got this Mandy! - Come on, Zoey!

[metal screeches] Whoa! Oh my...

[Lauren] Mandy!

[horse whinnies]

- We are so busted. - Is she okay?

We've got to get the quad.

[horse whinnies]

[debris rattles]

[horse snorts]

[horse grunts]

[engine starts]

Come on, get on. Come on!

What in the world?!

Are you okay?

Come on, let's go!

We can't just leave her there!

You want to get busted?!

Come on, let's go. Get on!

I'm coming!

Let's go.

Ooh. Yeah. You've got a doozy.

What are you doing out here?

I was just... I couldn't stop.

What's your name?

Uh... Ally.

Well, "Uh... Ally,"

You're lucky you didn't kill yourself

or one of my horses!

I'm sorry!

Yeah. I'm sure you are.

So, you want to tell me your real name?

It's Mandy.

Your parents know you're out here?

Yeah. I'm mean, we were supposed to be studying.

What do you say we give them a call?

Let them know what you've learned.

You can't!

I mean, it's just my Dad, and he's at work.

Well, what's his number?

Please don't call him yet.

I'll tell him, I promise.

It just has to be in the right way.

Have your dad call me, okay?

Otherwise, I'm going to have to call the police.

[Jack] Mandy?

That's my girl.

So what happened?

You mean after you bailed on me?

What did you tell that lady?

I told her my name was Sarah.

Shut up!

Relax, I didn't say anything.

So now she knows where you live.

What was I supposed to do?

Have her drop you down the street,

wait until she's gone, walk home.

Duh.

It was your idea. You're the one who

rammed me off the trail.

I don't like to lose.

Do you even know what that place is?

It's a horse ranch, so what?

It's not a ranch. It's a rescue.

Just a bunch of worthless horses waiting to die.

I just had a horse end up there.

Had to have his ear amputated because it got

bitten by a fly and the whole thing got infected.

So you just gave him up?

I wasn't going to show a horse with half an ear.

Can you imagine?

It's just as well. Stupid thing wouldn't do

anything I wanted it to do anyway.

But it's all good. My Dad got me a new one.

Ow!

You're not gonna say anything, right?

[cell phone rings]

Jack Renner.

[Diane] Hi Mr. Renner, this is

Diane Woodford...

What are you doing?

I hate it here.

I want to go home.

You want to tell me what's going on?

They made me... [sighs]

I was ready to go home, but then Zoey wanted

to take the quads out so we went out on trail

but then she rammed me off and I crashed

into this horse place with this lady...

Whoa, whoa. Slow down. You crashed a what?

A quadrunner.

We were just messing around we didn't mean...

- Was anybody else hurt? - No.

Dad, I know. [sighs]

You should probably call her back

before she calls the police.

[horse nickers]

[horses whinny]

- Good morning. - Hey. Good morning.

[horse whinnies]

Mr. Renner? I'm Diane.

Good morning. How are you?

Morning. Hi, Mandy.

Hi.

It's over here.

[Jack] Ouch.

Well, it could have been worse.

[horse grunting]

Well, first of all, let me say how sorry I am

for all of this.

What do you think we're looking at?

Well, I have to check my records, but

we only just built it last year.

It was north of a thousand bucks.

- For that?! - Mandy.

That doesn't even include the equipment.

Well, that's unfortunate.

But we'll make it right. It's just, uh...

things are a little tight right now,

we just moved into the area

and I'm just starting a new job.

Well, I suppose there might be another option.

Mandy could work it off.

What does that mean?

Well, we've taken in a lot of new horses

over the last year. There's a lot to do.

What did you have in mind?

Tuesdays, Thursdays after school,

all day Saturday.

I am not giving up my Saturdays

to pick up horse poo!

We put a hundred and fifty a week towards the shed.

That's gonna take like twenty years!

[Bradley whistling]

Bradley! Come say hi.

Chemistry, right?

This is Mandy.

She's the one responsible for the remodel.

Must have been a scary ride.

- [horse whinnies] - You okay?

Mandy's thinking about helping out around here.

Cool.

Want to pet her?

Is this your horse?

Pixie's one of our new rescues.

Just showing her around the place.

Listen, I really appreciate

what you're offering.

I just don't want to promise more

than she can deliver.

Her mom... my wife passed away last year.

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

It's been especially hard on Mandy.

You know, I've rescued a lot of horses

over the years.

They're a little like kids.

You never know which ones are gonna surprise you.

So, what do you think?

Okay.

See? That wasn't so hard.

Guess I'll be seeing you.

Come on.

So when do I start?

How about now?

[flies buzzing]

[Diane] That's it. Yeah, try to get underneath it.

Why does it stink so bad?

It's poop, honey. Try not to overthink it.

There you go, Mandy.

Oh my...

Oh! Eww.

Oh, man.

- You missed some. - Dad, stop!

- Whoop! - Whoa.

Arrrgghhh!!!

You might want to give her some space.

Alright, kiddo, I'll see you later alright?

I'm just gonna go post this.

Ow.

Ugh....

[horse nickers]

It's not so bad once you get used to it.

I don't want to get used to it.

[horse grunts]

What do you want?

She's just hungry. It's feeding time.

Come on. I'll show you how.

[horse grunts]

[horse whinnies]

You're familiar with the quadrunner, right?

Ha ha.

Each horse gets about two flakes, twice a day.

Well, come on. It's not gonna load itself.

Ow!

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

- Let me look. - It's nothing.

Let me look.

This is not nothing.

We need to call 911.

Are you feeling faint?

Do you need to lie down?

Stop!

Here.

[horse whinnies]

[horse nickers]

Now, you know Pixie.

She still answers to "Pepper"

but we like to give them all new names

when they come here.

Fresh start, you know?

We clean them up, get them healthy,

and adopt them out to new homes.

So, how did you start working here?

I got caught

breaking windows a few years ago.

This was part of my community service.

After it was over, Diane asked if I wanted a job.

[horse grunts]

[Mandy] This must be Zoey's horse.

I don't think he likes me very much.

Sometimes it just takes a while.

I think she was pretty harsh with him.

She told me about his ear.

Yeah...

but he pulled through.

- Didn't you, boy? - [horse whinnies]

You're a fighter.

There you go.

He kind of looks like he's wearing a tuxedo.

Hmm. That's actually a pretty good name.

Here you go, Tux.

Come on, buddy.

Careful. He can move quick.

Come on. I'm not going to hurt you.

[horse nickers]

Sometimes they never recover,

emotionally, you know?

[horse snorts]

[shower water stops]

Dad!

[sighs]

What's with the water?

Sprung another leak.

You seriously couldn't have waited

another five minutes?

You were in there an hour.

Maybe you can help me fix it after dinner.

Toilet handle's busted too, by the way.

Bon appetit.

Ew.

You're welcome to make dinner anytime.

I still have poop under my fingernails.

Stop it!

I can't believe you're making me do this.

It's humiliating.

Here.

Maybe these will work a little better for you.

Are those Mom's?

I like your boots.

Come on. I'll show you where to dump it.

I think my blisters have blisters

You know what we call that?

Work.

[Mandy] So, do you have anyone else

to help you out around here?

Well, Bradley's around

and occasionally we get volunteers,

but, don't really have the budget

for a full staff.

So, how do you pay for all this?

We're a nonprofit, so donations mostly.

We have a few people who board here,

and we make a little on adoption fees,

but it all goes back to care for the horses.

Do you live here by yourself?

Yeah. Don't really have any family.

Did, but, life moves on.

These horses are my babies now.

Okay! Up the ramp and into the bin.

Seriously.

Be careful, though. If you fall in here,

we may never find you again.

[flies buzzing]

There you go.

One more thing you can add to your resume.

Now when you finish all that,

you can go help Bradley at the wash rack.

[horse whinnies]

[Bradley] Alright. So, we use the

curry comb to start.

Get all the surface dirt before using

the hard brush to wipe it all off.

Then we'll shampoo him.

Gentle circles okay? Nothing too hard.

Nice. Just like that.

So, can I ask you a question?

Yeah.

Why were you breaking windows?

I was angry,

at my dad, mostly.

Seems like nothing I ever did was

good enough for him.

Tell me about it.

Your dad seems pretty cool.

We have nothing in common.

Have you tried helping him out

with stuff he's in to?

What do you mean?

Well, my dad's all in to restoring

these old radios, right?

So, one day I just

asked if he needed anything.

I didn't think I'd like it, you know?

Just a bunch of old tubes and stuff.

But, it was actually pretty fun.

We built this old ham radio together,

and now we talk to people

all over the world.

That's really cool.

Yeah. Things aren't perfect,

but it's helped.

Hey!

I didn't mean to get you,

I'm sorry.

Oh gosh! Okay.

It's on!

No, no, no, no, no!

- Alright. - Is that it?

- Alright - Yep?

Okay so last thing...

Oh! Oh!

No!

No!

Stop!

Ahem!

Who wants to help me turn out Tux?

Thanks.

Come on.

So that's his name, now?

I like it. It's classy.

Lord knows, it's been a while since

any of us dressed up around here.

So what do you mean by "turning out"?

Well, when they're in their stalls too long

they get grumpy. Kind of like you.

So, we let them run free.

Gives them a chance to get the wiggles out.

[Tux nickers]

You took his bandage off.

Yeah! Healed up nice.

- [Tux snarls] - Ho, ho, ho!

Alright, it's not that bad.

[Tux grunts]

Aren't you ever afraid?

Well, sometimes a dose of fear is useful

if it keeps you or the horse from getting hurt.

But once you develop a relationship,

you build trust,

start to have faith in each other.

Get the gate?

Trick is, to let your faith be stronger

than your fear.

[Tux grunts]

Good. Whoa. Whoa.

There you go.

[Tux whinnies]

[Tux snorts]

He's strong.

Yep. He's got quite a spirit.

[Tux whinnies]

Okay, you keep an eye on him.

I'm going to give Bradley a hand.

Here. Keep your strength up.

Lot of mucking still to do.

[Tux nickers]

[Tux snorts]

- You want some? - [Tux grunts]

[Tux whinnies]

It's okay, it's just an apple.

[Tux snorts]

Come on. It's not gonna hurt you.

[Tux nickers]

Okay, guess you don't want any.

Hey, she shouldn't be in there.

Wait, look.

You've had a rough time lately, huh?

Awww.

I'm sorry, I don't have anymore.

Maybe next time, okay?

[Tux grunts]

Hey, pushy. I told you I don't have anymore.

Go run, be free.

[Tux nickers]

You're not so mean, are you?

[Tux snorts]

Looks like you made a friend.

I think he just likes the apple.

I think he likes more than that.

[country music plays]

And then cinch.

Great.

- [Tux snorts] - That's it!

Nice!

- [Tux nickers] - [Mandy laughs]

- [Tux grunts] - (Mandy shrieks)

Yeah.

One, two, three, up!

Good! Bring it on over, you got it, swing it over!

Good job!

[Tux whinnies]

You should have seen it, Dad.

I climbed on his neck, and then he threw me

on his back and he just took off.

Listen to you, Country Girl.

I can't believe Zoey just threw him away.

There's something about him, you know?

Like, he just gets me.

I'm glad somebody does.

Hand me that screwdriver, would you?

Oh, Diane's having an open house

in a couple weeks and she wants you to come.

That's cool. Maybe after work.

Why did we rent this stupid place

if it's just falling apart?

Come on, there's nothing here you can't fix.

Go ahead, flip that switch!

Huh?

Ha ha.

[crashing to floor]

Nice one.

Thank you.

- [Mandy laughs] - Stupid.

It was pretty funny though.

Hey, do we have Mom's old sewing kit anywhere?

I don't know, somewhere, you'll have to look.

[Jack] It's funny, you know?

Hearing you talking about riding horses.

That's how Mom found out she was

pregnant with you.

- Really? - Yeah.

We were on a trail ride in Idaho

with some friends.

About half way through, she said she

didn't feel so good. So we stopped while

the rest of the horses went on.

I remember sitting in that meadow,

just the two of us.

Looking out over that valley,

just a magnificent sunset.

It was perfect.

Anyway, we came back,

she took the test, and here you are.

Of course, you were a little smaller back then.

I really miss her.

Me too, honey.

Me too.

[Bradley] You're quiet today.

What do you call a female horse after dark?

A nightmare.

What do racehorses eat?

Fast food.

That was pretty funny, right?

What do horses eat on their pancakes?

I have no idea.

Maple stirrup.

Ohhhhhh.....

[engine noise]

- [Horses whinny] - Whoa!

- Who's this? - It's Zoey and her dad.

[rock music plays from dune buggy]

Is that my horse?

Yeah. He's doing great.

Hey.

So, you two are hanging out now?

We're just riding.

To where, the glue factory?

Zoey, come on.

You don't need to keep making fun of him.

It's not like he can hear me.

- [Horn honks] - [Tux whinnies]

Oh. Well I guess he heard that.

Zoey. Knock it off.

Easy, Tux.

You know his name's Rocky, right?

Not anymore.

Come on.

Try not to crash into anything!

[Tux grunts]

[Diane] Whoa. Easy boy.

- Oh. - Whoa.

- Easy girl! - Arrgghh!

Are you okay?

- What happened? - Nothing!

We ran into Tux's old owner.

She was making fun of his ear.

Oh, honey, I'm sure he wasn't listening.

Oh, Mandy, I'm sorry. That was insensitive.

Come back!

It's not fair.

Things rarely are.

Just because he's missing an ear

doesn't make him worthless.

We're all missing something.

Come on. I want to show you something.

Is this you?

Mm hmm. Come on.

Who's this?

That's my daughter.

Abby Joy.

She'd be about your age, now.

What happened?

Leukemia happened.

She put up a good fight, but...

It got the best of her.

She was eight.

I understand a little

about what you're going through, Mandy.

And I want you to know that you're not alone.

I was mad, too.

Mad at the cancer. Mad at... God.

And I stayed that way for a long time.

Until I remembered His plan.

Plan?

That one day, my daughter, your mom,

And everyone who puts their faith in Him

will live again.

Everything will be fixed.

Even Tux's ear?

Jesus healed the man's ear in the garden.

I think he can do the same for Tux.

You're wonderful with him.

It's like he was sent straight from Heaven

just for you.

Now, I'll make you a deal.

You keep working hard around here,

and I'll teach you how to ride.

I mean, really ride.

It's just a local show,

but I think it'll be good for both of you.

Hmm?

[Horse whinnies]

English is different from Western,

So, it might take you a bit to get comfortable.

You really think Tux can jump?

Well, he's only fifteen hands

and not exactly a warmblood

so don't expect too much.

And he can get cranky and stubborn,

and downright dangerous if you don't

take good care of him.

But treat him right? Earn his trust?

He'll give you everything he's got.

How about it, Tux?

You trust me?

[Tux nickers]

Hands on your hips,

we're going to work on your balance.

Now stretch. Reach down

and touch your left toe.

Good. And your right.

Good.

Now, you're going to communicate

with the horse using your legs.

Squeeze your heels and take him to a trot.

[Tux nickers]

Good.

[Tux snorts]

[Tux whinnies]

Now I want you to post.

Stand up and sit down

to the natural rhythm of the horse.

Up, down. Up, down.

Up, down. Up, down. Up, down.

Good. Good!

Hands out to your side this time.

Find your balance in the trot. Try again.

Good.

How's that feel?

Ooh!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Can we try that again?

[Tux nickers]

Lead with your eyes.

Always be looking ahead. He'll follow.

[Tux nickers]

Don't worry about what's behind you.

Fix your eyes on what's ahead.

Steer with your whole body.

Good. That's it.

Keep your heels down.

Take the pressure off your toes.

Try to keep your weight back.

Sit into it!

What happened?

I think I shifted.

You shift, he shifts. So, head up,

eyes forward, sit into it.

Yes, that's it!

[Mandy laughs]

- How do you feel? - Better.

You look better.

Good boy.

[Music plays]

[Bradley] Nice.

You look like a natural.

Have you done this before?

- Yeah. - Yeah? Awesome.

Are you holding on, honey?

Yep.

Doesn't she look great?

Yep. Yep. I'm so excited!

Going to take her today.

- Thank you so much. - You're welcome!

[Horse whinnies]

Look at that one!

It's just show and tell, bud.

It's nothing to worry about.

Hey! Say hello to Pixie's new owners.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

My Dad just says I have to keep my grades up.

[Mandy laughs]

I hear you're going to show.

Maybe.

Can't argue with maybe.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

Oh, baby...

Look at this one.

He's pretty.

He's funny. Can we get him?

Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. Come on.

[Tux nickers]

Thank you for inviting us.

- It really meant a lot. - Thanks.

Any time! Bye.

Three horses to new homes and not one crying baby.

That's a good day.

Isn't it great? I made it myself.

Hey.

Hey!

Too late to grab a hotdog?

We're out of hotdogs. We've got lemonade.

- I'll take some of that. - Alright.

- Thank you. - Mmm hmm.

Where's Mandy?

Oh, she's finishing up.

Good, right?

Delicious.

Hmm.

- Hey. - Hey.

How'd it go?

All the horses are fed and put away, I just...

I have to go clean up Pixie's stuff.

You want some lemonade?

Uh, I'm good, thanks.

I'm gonna go clean up before it gets too dark.

I'll help.

Thanks for looking after her.

I'm hardly babysitting, Mr. Renner.

You can call me Jack.

She's been a real help.

You should see her on Tux. She's a quick learner.

Actually...

I wanted to talk to you about that.

So, do they have to sign some promise

or something?

Who?

The people who adopt the horses.

Is there like a thing that says

they have to take care of them? I mean,

not anybody can just take them, right?

Yeah. That's right.

Diane usually just checks out

where they're gonna be.

Makes sure there's no weirdness.

You can't take it personally

when they get adopted.

How can you say that?

It's part of the job.

Don't you care?

Of course I care.

That's the point.

Yeah, it hurts sometimes.

But it's what's best for them.

[Tux whinnies]

[Tux nickers]

[Jack] Listen, I appreciate what you're

trying to do for her with the lessons and everything

but we're already in your debt as it is.

Jack. You don't owe me another thing.

I mean, she's welcome to work here,

if she wants to, in exchange for the lessons

but as far as the shed...

No, listen, that's very kind,

but I pay my debts.

- Jack, it's just a shed. - Even so.

And this competition?

I just don't want to set her up

for another disappointment.

Do you know why I call this place

Winds of Grace?

Because every time I take in one of those horses,

all beat up, struggling to make it on their own,

they remind me of me.

And every now and then, a warm wind

blows through here,

and I feel God's presence.

And I remember,

He's in the healing business.

And taking care of these horses, I guess,

it's just my way of being a part of that.

Saying thank you.

I believe your daughter,

she's capable of amazing things.

[wind chimes clang]

[Lemonade pours]

Nice job on the fences, Bradley.

Don't mess 'em up!

Starting off at twelve inches.

How high is the red one?

That's three feet. He's not quite ready

for that one yet. Come on. One foot.

Let's see how he does.

There you go. Okay. We'll take it.

Tighten up on the reins just a bit.

You always want to support the horse.

Two point. Heels down.

[Mandy grunts]

Alright. That's okay.

[Tux nickers]

[Tux nickers]

[Mandy laughs]

[Diane] That's okay.

Keep going. Eyes forward.

[Tux grunts]

Come on!

Look, go soft. He's just learning.

[Tux grunts]

He's nervous.

He takes his cues from you.

Come on. Why don't you get cleaned up.

I want to show you something.

[Mandy] Whoa.

She's really good.

Watch her eyes.

See, she's already looking ahead to the next fence.

The horse can feel that.

They want to rise to your expectation.

She's pretty advanced.

But there are some here who could be

your competition.

[Debbie] Come on, let's do it right

just once today? Turn.

Look up.

[Mandy] Oh, man.

[Debbie] Come around the corner,

keep your eyes up, look at the next fence,

One, two, one, two...

That's Zoey.

[Debbie] Stay there,

keep counting.

- Eyes up! - [Diane] Oh, yeah.

[Debbie] Think about it...

I remember.

[Debbie] Keep your leg on,

Keep your leg on!

Whoa, what happened?

It's called a refusal.

Counts as a deduction.

Same as knocking down a rail.

Zoey, come here. Now!

[Diane] She's got Debbie training her.

She's the real deal.

- That was your fault. - It's not my fault!

He didn't go over the fence!

No. You came up to the fence, you dropped

your eyes, you took your leg off,

And he stopped! Either ride him right or

get another horse, get another trainer,

- I don't care. - I just got a new horse

- you picked this one! - Go do it.

Show me you can do it!

- Fine. - Go!

Come on.

Huh.

Can we go, please?

Hey. Did you get those Chemistry notes?

- They were really hard. - I was so mad, I know!

Hey!

You spying on me now?

What?

What? Don't act so innocent.

I totally saw you hiding behind that tree.

I was just watching some of the training.

Why?

Does it matter? I mean, I'm just trying to learn.

You planning to show now?

I don't know. Maybe.

On what? The one-eared wonder?

Zoey, come on. Just leave her alone.

He's a good horse.

I guess we'll see what the judges think.

If you even have the guts to do it.

Come on.

[Diane] Remember, keep him

collected until he's close to the jump.

Let him have a good look at it.

There you go! Alright.

Canter him through the turn.

Left leg, right rein, bend him around.

[Tux whinnies]

What's going on?

Nothing!

I'm getting a little tired

of everything being nothing.

He can do this. So can you.

[sighs]

[Tux nickers]

Okay, two feet this time.

Collect him. Give him a good look at it.

That's it! Great, Mandy.

Yes!

Yes! Now you're getting the hang of it.

Sit into it!

Good!

Looking great!

[Tux nickers]

What are you doing here?

You watch me, I watch you.

This is a private lesson, ladies.

[Mandy] No, it's okay.

- You sure? - Yeah.

We've got nothing to hide.

Hey.

Let me know if you want to go

off-roading sometime.

Okay. Yeah.

Okay, Mandy. Just like we practiced.

Come on, Mandy.

Wooh!

[Diane] Nice job!

- You look like a pro. - Not bad.

You know I got a new horse, right?

Another one?

Well, this one doesn't refuse.

We call her Shadow.

She can jump three feet now.

Hey Bradley. Raise them up.

[Diane] No, Mandy.

That's not a good idea.

Why not? He can do this. I'm ready.

[Tux nickers]

Let's just give it a little time, okay?

Fine.

[Tux grunts]

Mandy...

Come on, Tux.

Don't!

[Mandy screams]

[Diane] Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[Tux whinnies]

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[Diane] Easy!

Easy!

Easy.

Oh, you got the wind knocked out of you.

[Mandy gasps]

That's it. Okay. Oh.

Is anything broken?

That was a stupid move.

[Tux grunts in pain]

Diane!

You need to take a look at this.

[Tux grunts in pain]

Is he okay?

- You should go. - It's not our fault.

Just go!

Oh...

Come on, Lauren.

Mandy? Are you okay?

[Tux grunts in pain]

Are you okay?

Keep up.

[Tux grunts in pain]

Is he okay?

Hold him here. Don't let him walk on it.

I'm going to call the vet.

Okay. Good. Good, boy.

[thunder]

[horse whinnies]

What's going on?

Zoey was here. She made me...

We hit a jump. His leg might be fractured.

- Oh, Mandy. - Dad, I know.

[Tux whimpers in pain]

How is he?

Won't know until the X-rays.

Mandy, will you excuse us for a minute?

[Tux nickers]

Listen, this is what I was afraid of.

We've already caused you enough grief

and I don't know how many more losses

she can take.

I don't think it's a good idea

for her to continue here.

We need to cancel the show.

Jack, she made a mistake.

She's learning.

Well, I think she's learned enough.

[Tux grunts]

[insects buzzing]

You okay?

No.

Nothing's okay.

I feel like nobody's on my side.

Zoey keeps ruining everything.

My dad's really mad.

You know, when I was arrested,

my dad was really mad, too.

It actually felt good, you know?

Like hurting him gave me the

upper hand or something.

When he picked me up from the station

I could tell he wanted to yell at me,

But he never did.

Just... drove home.

Never said a word.

The longer he stayed silent, the worse I felt.

I blamed him for making me mad.

But I realized, it was my choice

in how to deal with it.

It's not like he made me break those windows.

Anyway, when we got home, he turned to me and asked,

"What kind of man do you want to be?

You gonna be the kind who only thinks about himself?

Who blames other people for his problems?

Or are you gonna make the best of

what you've been given and

treat others the way you want to be treated?”

It's a good question, you know?

What kind of person do you want to be?

Lord,

please help me be the person

you want me to be.

[soft knocking]

Hey, come on, kiddo! Time to get up.

You're gonna be late for school.

Mandy, come on.

We all just need time to heal.

Can I at least see him?

I don't think it's a good idea.

You were in the hospital every day with Mom.

Mandy, that's different.

Not to me.

I know it's my fault but,

he's my best friend.

I thought if we could do this show,

we could prove we're still worth something.

Just to finish strong, you know?

That's all I wanted.

I'm sorry I've been such a brat.

Come here.

Come here. Mandy, I love you.

I love you, too.

Can I come in?

Mandy.

This is Dr. Brooks.

Did quite a number on his leg there, Miss Mandy.

Good news is, he didn't break anything.

That's great.

Give me a call if you need anything.

How are you doing, boy?

Trust is a fragile thing.

I don't think I've told you how much

I appreciate what you've done.

I know you didn't have to.

Listen,

I'm gonna be out of town for a few days.

I need to go check on an adoption home for Tux.

I was hoping that you and Bradley could

keep an eye on things while I'm gone?

I'll give you two some time.

Hey, buddy.

I'm really sorry about what happened.

You know I never meant for you to get hurt, right?

I just wanted to show Zoey what you could do.

What we could do.

But you're gonna be okay, aren't you?

[Tux nickers]

[Tux nickers]

Yeah. I don't blame you.

[Bradley] At least he's going to

be okay.

You've got to feel good about that.

I just...

I hate that I let everyone down.

Hey. Will you help me with something?

[Horse whinnies]

[rock music plays]

I'd be more than happy to help you.

That'd be awesome, thank you.

- Good? - Yep.

I think I can help you with that. Come on back.

How do I look?

- How do I look? Yeah? - [Mandy laughs]

[door closes]

[Jack] Call 911.

Why?

Clearly aliens have invaded.

Dinner's almost ready.

What planet are you from?

And what have you done with my daughter?

Can't I do anything nice without you making a

big deal about it?

No.

I fixed the toilet handle, too.

Seriously, where's your spaceship?

I want you to come to the barn tomorrow.

Is Diane back?

That's why I want you to come.

Hey! Wash your hands.

Go. Phone home.

Hello, Jack.

- Welcome back. - Thank you.

How'd it go?

I met a nice family.

Listen, um, I want to apologize

for the way I left things.

I was pretty harsh on you the last time I was here.

Not easy being a parent, is it?

Close your eyes.

What?

- Here ya go. - What?

- Now put that on. - What is this?

You've just got to close them.

Alright, we're going to lead you this way.

- Where are we going? - What are you up to?

Can't tell you. Just trust me.

Okay.

- What is this? - Alright, you ready?

- I guess. - Oh.

One. Two. Three.

What in the world?

Mandy got all the materials donated.

We built it ourselves.

How did you learn to do this?

Watching you.

[Diane] It's beautiful.

I know that it doesn't make up for what I did.

But...

at least it's a thank you for what you've done.

[Tux whinnies]

Somebody approves.

He certainly seems to be back to his old self.

What do you say you try him out.

See if the two of you get along?

Come on, kiddo.

You've got this, Mandy.

There you go.

Wow, she looks really good.

[Tux snorts]

Is he okay?

Yeah. That was me.

I don't want him to get hurt again.

Alright. Why don't you go cool him down?

Make sure he's got plenty of water.

What do you think?

I love you, Tux.

I never meant to hurt you.

I promise I'll never do it again.

I hope you can forgive me.

That's what I'm talking about.

I don't know. If you ask me...

He's ready to show.

What?

What do you say?

You want to ride?

Yes. Yes!

[musical score plays]

[horses whinny]

[announcer] Good afternoon and

welcome to the Sunset Valley Horse Show

sponsored by American Vision Windows,

I'm Darrel Sparkman.

And joining me today in the booth

is last year's Junior Equitation Champion,

A.J. Fox.

Thanks, Darrel. Remember, all proceeds from

concessions go toward cancer research so eat up!

[dog barking]

[horses whinny]

[horse whinnies]

- Come on. - Keep going!

Proud of you, kiddo.

Takes courage to get back in the saddle.

Didn't think you were gonna make it.

How is he?

Better.

You must be Mandy's Dad.

Jack.

Claudia. I'm Zoey's mom.

You're going to cover his ear, right?

I wouldn't trust that horse if I were you.

It has a history of acting up.

If there's one thing I've learned,

You never know which ones are going to

surprise you.

Good luck.

Come on, Zoey.

Don't get your hopes up.

I still don't like to lose.

Come on. Let's go get your course.

[crowd cheering]

[announcer] Thank you, rider.

Next up is Hunters, followed by Open Jumpers.

[Diane] Now you're entered

into two classes, okay?

They change the course for each class,

so you're gonna have to memorize them beforehand.

[sighs]

Do you want me to stay with you?

- I'm alright. - Alright.

Well, we're gonna be over here

cheering you on, okay? Go get 'em!

[crowd cheering]

How's she doing?

She'll be fine if she can get Zoey out of her head.

[announcer] Next up is rider 246,

Zoey Holloway.

- That's us. - Come on, Zoey!

Oh, yeah.

[spectator] Nice job, nice job!

[hooves knock rail]

That's a penalty, right?

[Diane] Not big. She's good.

[spectator] It's alright. It's alright.

[crowd applauds]

Nice ride. You looked good.

She was terrible. Totally just fell asleep.

[announcer] Thank you, rider.

Next up is rider 235, Mandy Renner.

[Jack] Come on, Mandy!

- Alright, Mandy! - Whoo! It's the wave!

Alright.

[Tux grunts]

Good boy.

Heels down. Eyes forward.

Heels down. Eyes forward.

[hooves knock rail]

- He's rushing it. - Come on, baby.

Come on boy. Settle down.

That's it, boy.

Good!

Easy, boy.

[hooves knock rail]

It's alright, Mandy. First one's in the books.

Keep your head up!

[Zoey] Nice ride.

[Mandy] Right.

[announcer] In first place,

number 245, Madison Hagge.

You did it!

Yeah, but he knocked a rail over.

Yeah, but you were out there, you looked great!

[announcer] In second place,

number 246, Zoey Holloway.

Congratulations.

Want it?

[announcer] And in third place, for

Hunters over Fences, number 225,

Ashtyn Risvold.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

[announcer] Next up, we have

Open Jumpers!

Hey. Jumpers is purely objective.

Just jumps and time.

I'm gonna go grab your polo from the truck.

You gonna be alright?

Hey. Look at me.

I'm proud of you.

And I'll bet Mom's up there smiling

from ear to ear.

Seriously, Mandy, these last several months

I see a spark in you that I haven't seen

in a long time.

And Tux? Mandy, he's got a champion heart.

You two can do this.

So stay focused.

Have faith!

[announcer] Open Jumpers will start

at two feet, six inches. Any knockdowns or refusals

will result in a four-fault penalty.

First up is Rider 246, Zoey Holloway.

Go Zoey. Go Zoey!

[spectator] Nice!

[spectator] All you, all you!

Yes!

Come on.

[crowd cheering]

Last one.

Woo hoo! Go, Zoey!

[crowd cheering]

Wow. That was a great job.

Yeah. It was. Wasn't it?

[announcer] Rider 225,

please take the course. Rider 225,

Ashtyn Risvold.

[hooves knock rail]

[crowd groans]

Okay. That leaves a little room.

[announcer] Thank you, rider.

Next up is Rider 235, Mandy Renner.

[crowd cheering]

[Lauren] You've got this!

Easy, Tux.

Don't get nervous.

[Mandy grunts]

It's okay, boy. Let's straighten it out.

- Come on, Baby. - Come on, Sweetheart.

That's it. Good boy.

We've got this.

That's it. Keep going!

Keep contact. Open your rein.

Yes.

Come on, boy. Two more.

Last one.

Yes!

Good boy!

She made it!

We did it!

Barely.

I think they're tied.

[announcer] We have two riders

with clean runs.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we will have a jump-off!

A jump-off!

Mandy, way to go!

Hey, this ain't over yet.

Can't you just be happy for her?

- Whatever. - Great job.

[announcer] Jump-offs are unique

here at Sunset Valley.

Riders will have sixty seconds to complete

the course. Any time over sixty seconds

will be penalized.

And the final jump will be raised

to three feet.

You okay?

I don't think he can jump that high.

[announcer] First up, Rider 246,

Zoey Holloway.

Good luck.

[Sarah] Come on, Zoey!

If they both jump clean, whoever has

the fastest time wins.

Come on, Shadow. This one's ours.

- You've got this, girl! - Go Zoey!

[crowd cheering]

Faster, girl.

Yeah!

Come on, Shadow.

[Sarah] Come on, Zoey!

Come on!

Come on, last one.

Come on, Shadow.

Go!

[hooves knock rail]

Aw, come on!

Thank you rider.

Your time was 59.01,

with a total of four faults.

Well, I guess you get your chance.

Good luck getting over that last fence.

Hey, it's okay. Don't let her get in your head.

What happened to you, Bradley?

You used to be so cool.

I know, right? Man...

I'm glad I got past that.

Well, at least I'm not pretending to be

someone I'm not.

You know what?

You're absolutely right.

Come on, Tux.

Let's show them what a one-eared horse can do!

[Tux snarls]

[announcer] And finally, give it up

for our last rider of the day, number 235,

Mandy Renner.

Come on, Mandy. You can do this!

Can she do this?

Okay, buddy. This is it!

- [crowd cheers] - [Lauren] Go Mandy!

Let's pick it up!

[Tux grunts]

Yes. That's it.

You can do it. Come on, buddy.

She's hauling the mail!

Yes. Come on. Push it boy.

[Tux grunts]

[hooves knock rail]

Yes! Okay, we're good. We're good. She's good.

Leg. Leg! Sit into it!

It's okay, bud. Keep going.

There we go!

You can do it!

Yes! Ha ha!

Come on, Tux.

Two more.

Come on, buddy!

That's it, baby, ride.

- Ride! - Ow!

Almost there!

[Bradley] Mandy, you can do it!

[Lauren] Go, Mandy!

It's too high.

It's too high!

[Tux grunts]

No!

Yes! I knew it!

That's it.

Okay. It's not worth getting hurt.

Come on.

[Diane] It's okay.

You were right.

It was asking too much.

No.

No, she can do this.

Jack, it's over.

Doesn't matter.

Mandy, you can do this!

Give it one more try!

Come on, Mandy.

Come on, Mandy. You can do this.

Finish strong. No regrets!

It's alright, Mandy. He can do it!

Mandy... Mandy... Mandy, Mandy... Mandy... Mandy,

[crowd continues chanting “Mandy! Mandy!]

What?!

Mandy... Mandy... Mandy...

Okay. What do you say, Tux?

You want to try it again?

[Tux nickers]

For us.

[Tux whinnies]

That's it. That's it!

[crowd continues chanting “Mandy!”]

[Bradley] Yeah, Mandy!

[crowd cheering]

Come on, bud.

Let's make it count.

[Tux grunts]

[Lauren] Go, Mandy!

Come on, Sweetheart, you gotta believe!

- Yes! Ha ha! - Ahhhhhh!

Yes!

Oh, she did it!

Good boy!

[Tux nickers]

- Yeah Mandy! - Whoooo!

You did it!

- Oh, congratulations. - You did it!

You did it, kiddo. I'm proud of you.

You did it! You did it!

We did it.

[announcer] And first place in jumpers

goes to number 246,

Zoey Holloway.

Hey, Zoey.

Congratulations.

You too.

[announcer] And in second place,

number 235, Mandy Renner.

Good job, Mandy. Good job!

Not bad for a rookie.

Oh, I think she likes it!

I think she likes more than that.

[crowd wolf whistles]

Hey, congratulations.

We, uh, we met Tux on Adoption Day.

Is he still available by chance?

I'm sorry, but this one's already spoken for.

- Well, congrats, huh? - Congratulations!

Alright, everyone get in for a picture.

Closer! Closer! Okay, ready?

- Smile! - One, two, three.

Cheese!

[flash bulb pops]

Is he really mine?

I think you belong to each other now.

Thank you.

[apple crunches]

Thank you.

Hey Dad, what do you want for dinner?
