If your child is under 11, I would advise against this movie. Aside from the very poor acting, which is forgivable in a children's movie, there are many problems with it. We turned it off about a 1/4 of the way through. One of the more disturbing scenes shows two creepy looking men observing children at the playground. This precedes the uneccessary scene in which you think someone is sneaking up to one of the girl's bedroom window while she is asleep in her bed. Another inappropriate scene shows the pony dreaming of his mother getting hit by a drunk driver, (yes, they show the drunk man driving the car while guzzling a bottle of something). This movie is in bad taste. Too bad, since the horse scenes which we saw were adorable. There are so many wonderful horse movies available for the young horse lover in your family, but this isn't one of them.
