I remember seeing a movie some time in the 90’s – I think it was from early 90’s maybe later 80’s. It was in color, English, probably made for tv…
A high school age girl starts hanging with the wrong crowd and gets in some trouble. Her parents send her to a horse farm to work there hoping it’ll change her attitude. I think there are other wayward teens there as well. The farm is run by a woman who is, I think, a single mother. She acts as a mentor to the girl. At first, the girl resists, but eventually lightens up and starts to do well at the farm. She bonds with a horse and she’s happy and all is well.
Then tragedy strikes. She gets into an accident (I want to say she falls off the horse) and she winds up in a coma in the hospital. Eventually she comes out of it, but she’s paralyzed. They bring her to the farm to see the horse in a wheelchair, but she’s mad and she blames the horse.
In the end she magically gets up and walks again, forgives the horse, and is normal again. I think it was a pretty cheesy movie, but I was just thinking about it and wondered if anyone knew what it was. I did a google search, but I couldn’t find it. I remember the dad being someone that was kind of well known.
Thanks,
