To save her ranch after the accidental death of her husband, Sarah Fellows (Marilyn Lightstone) marries Frank Chase (Art Hindle), the man responsible for the mishap. She and her children move into Frank’s house, but Sarah makes it clear that it is only a "marriage of convenience". Deeply resenting the situation, her twelve-year-old son Christopher (Josh Byrne) becomes withdrawn and increasingly obsessed with a renegade black pony that runs unfettered through the valley. Frank realizes that Christopher needs the pony and buys it for him, despite Sarah’s strong objections. Surprisingly, it is through Christopher’s adventure-filled relationship with his pony that the family discovers the true meaning of devotion.

I love this movie.
I actually bought a DVD player again specifically so that I could watch this movie. It is an older film but I don't care - I was so happy to be able to find it and purchase. I had the old VHS version years ago. No zombies, witches, wizards or demons or weird space creatures to be found in it--no disrespectful children that have their parental roles reversed. Just the story of the struggle of a family making its way in tough times. Truly love this movie!

Suitable for older children
Pretty good family story, the pony was kind of secondary to the plot line, however. The plot line is a little slow for younger children.

Good family movie
It has some tough moments for people that think an animal is getting mistreated, but it's got a good story. My boys liked it when they were elementary school age.
