every horse movie: hi my name is kady and i am a Troubled Teen™ and i’m super frustrated because this ranch has no wifi. at least there’s a cute boy who i made eye contact with! ugh look at all these horses, especially that Troubled Horse™ who Only Lets Me Ride Him
*look at that snotty rich girl who competes in all the shows and wins because he daddy buys her all the good fancy horses
*She wants my Troubled Horse
*I will beat her in a show
+ my dad doesn’t want me to ride my Troubled Horse and i think it’s because he’s a dick but actually my mom perished in a Tragic Riding Accident and he doesn’t want to Lose Me Too
+ the Down On His Luck Trainer thats always grumpy and that all the other Trainers think is washed up even though he had lots of winners years ago. But he’s going to help Troubled Teen win the Big Event at the end this movie and get his act back together.
There’s also the subplot where the bank is about to foreclose on the farm/ranch and it culminates into tired, overworked dad saying “maybe it’d be best if rich girl took Troubled Horse because soon we might not even have a home for him!”
And Troubled Teen yells “I HATE YOU. MOM WOULD HAVE NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN!” As the screen door slams behind her and dad wipes his brow angrily with his bandana before throwing it on the floor.
