Dramatic horse movie

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,

Shawn

  1. Oh! I used to watch this as a kid, I had it on vhs lol I think it’s called “Dark Horse”…I’ll check when I get a moment (replying from phone) if you haven’t responded by then.

    1. my pleasure. I’ve seen it too and it would’ve been driving me nuts as well if you hadn’t come up with the title. Cheers!
