It is possibly good I don’t have Netflix…I think a couple of my students stayed up far too late watching the series!
I started watching this. I’m on episode three. A little cheesy, but it is sucking me in just like Heartland did.
Just starting watching this. Stereotypical girl finds horse nobody else can tame that only likes her…but I am going to keep watching…see if it gets better. I am loving that the main characters is an African American girl.
I’ll add this to my watchlist. What can I say, I love a sappy horsey show. I’m just finishing season 8 of Heartland. Love that silly show. 
It only gets more convoluted. I tried watching it but it has too many plotlines, some of which are irrelevant.
Hmmmm. I’ve been looking for something easy to watch this summer. Think I’ll give it a try.
How many seasons are there?
Just the one right now.
Yeah, I watched the first episode last night, and once I realized it was going to be one of those cheesy “black stallion syndrome” stories, didn’t watch any more.
I’m about 3 episodes in, I usually love a cheesy horse show, but I don’t think that even I will be finishing this one. It’s all “shes’s a natural rider even though she’s had zero instruction” and she chases after someone in a dead gallop during her second ride ever. I mean COME ON, at least TRY to be a tiny bit more realistic- I actually think it’s quite insulting ti imply that riding is that easy LOL. Ok let me get down off my soap box now… :lol:
Looks ridiculous, but probably a fun way to spend a rainy day.
I binge-watched the whole thing. I don’t know why, as it got more ridiculous from a riding/training standpoint with every episode. She is told to put the saddle on the wild horse for the very first time while he’s standing loose in his stall with a bridle on. And the only way he ever calms down from one of his dangerous rearing and screaming fits is if she runs up to him and waves her arms around right in front of his face and tells him to calm down. And he gets stolen by horse thieves in the middle of the night, and they show him in the trailer fully tacked up. And every time the camera cuts to any horse doing anything, the horse always whinnies. It’s dumb, but I watched it all! :lol:
I watched it all too the day it dropped, while my car was in the shop and I was stuck at home all day. It’s basically Saddle Club cheesy, but for this generation of barn rats.
Every horse is in a pelham with only a curb rein, except for the ones in elevators.
