Hey.

Come on.

Okay. Come here, boy.

Come

here,

boy.

Uh -uh.

Come on.

My name is Audrey.

I spend most of my spare time volunteering at the local animal

I'm still in high school, but I don't really fit in with the other kids.

I've always loved animals, though.

My dream someday is to be a veterinarian or even open my own shelter.

I'm a city girl, but my heart is in the country.

I used to visit my grandparents' horse ranch a lot before my grandma passed

away.

The last time I rode a horse, I fell off and broke my arm.

But I was ready to get right back on.

I just haven't had the chance again.

But one day at the shelter, there was a wonderful surprise waiting for me.

A beautiful black horse. He was rescued from an abusive owner, and it was my job

to clean and wash him.

But he was frightened to go outside.

It seems as though he was afraid of the sun.

He was found in horrible conditions in a city warehouse.

It was really sad, but I was determined to earn his trust.

Little by little, step by step.

On his paperwork, he didn't have a name.

Just an inventory number.

So I called him Beauty.

I knew this beautiful horse had a big heart.

He just needed someone to care for him. And it was an honor that it could be me.

You are dirty.

I know.

Here.

Okay. We're going to make you nice and clean, okay?

Audrey, are you okay? What happened?

Nothing. He just kicked the gate.

It looks like he's been sharply spurred over and over.

Yeah, he's waiting on this side, too.

It doesn't look too serious, but I'll call the vet later.

It's okay, beauty.

I'm going to take care of you, boy.

Audrey, do not fall in love with him.

You can see we don't have enough space here for horses.

But it was love at first sight.

We're closing up in 30 minutes.

All right.

I'll finish up for the day.

I tried to be friendly with the popular girls from my school, but they always

rejected me.

They called me names and gave me dirty looks.

I know I'm awkward, but sometimes it made me wonder what was wrong with me.

At least the animals loved me, even if I was a mess.

Bless us, Lord, for this meal we are about to receive.

Amen. Amen.

Sweetie, could you please not text at the dinner table?

I don't like it either, honey, but somebody's got to make some money here.

Thanks for working so hard, Dad.

You're welcome, honey.

Audrey, how is everything going with your internship at the shelter?

Amazing. We have a horse there now.

I call him Beauty.

Wow, that's great.

It is, but...

There's sort of an issue I wanted to talk to you about.

An issue?

Well, yeah. You see, there's not enough room for horses at the shelter, so

they're going to transfer him.

Unless someone adopts him.

I see.

So what would you have me do? Buy the building next door, knock it down, and

build a barn? Exactly.

You know me so well, Dad.

You know, honey, I think you need to try to make more friendships at school.

Animals are my friends.

Especially beauty, besides.

You know the girls at my school aren't very nice to me.

Well, it might get better if you tried to be friends with them.

They're just not into the same things as me.

Animals.

What is that?

Audrey, are you okay?

I'm fine.

I was just washing beauty in the wrong position when I hit an open wound on his

stomach. What? Are you saying that he kicked you? He grazed me. And it was my

fault. I can't believe they let kids work with big animals at that place.

I'm not a kid anymore, Dad.

I'm 16 years old.

Honey. Act like I'm still a baby. You are my baby. It doesn't matter how old

are. You will always be my baby. I don't want you to get hurt.

You can work at the shelter, but no horse.

But, Dad, that's not fair.

Oh, look, I've got to return this call. Thank you for dinner.

No horse.

Mom, this is not fair.

Honey, he's just worried about you.

Remember when you fell off Grandma's horse and broke your leg?

I was nine years old then, Mom.

I'm not going to live my whole life afraid of horses.

I know. I'll talk to him.

This poor fella has some wounds that are infected.

That's not the biggest issue here.

Unfortunately, he has a hock that's shattered. It's pinned with screws.

Take a look at these x -rays. This screw, it's bent.

That's from a recent injury.

The reality is, he'll have to be put down. No. Please, no. How could you say

something like that?

Under other circumstances, given adequate time, a couple months to rest,

an injury that's recoverable.

But here in the city, we just don't have budgets to handle something like this.

You're just going to have to face reality.

Just give me 48 hours.

Hello?

Grandpa, it's me.

Hey, darling, how are you?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Listen, there's just something I wanted to talk to you about.

at the shelter and they're going to put them down if someone doesn't say hold on

it's a really good horse just hold on don't worry

we'll think of something

Oh, I knew you would come.

But how'd you get here so fast? Well, a lot of it we owe to your mother, getting

the paperwork from the pound and convincing her to coerce your father to

and your friend stay with me for the summer.

For the whole summer? Mm -hmm. Really? Mm -hmm. With you and beauty?

Son.

Dad?

I'm not so sure about this. He's a big horse.

Still, you're in good enough shape for him?

Well, I haven't been kicked in the head yet.

I mean, I'm never too old for horses, and the truth be told, she'll be doing

the work.

I mean, it's a full commitment.

I'll do whatever it takes.

I mean, come on, Dad.

If we have a chance to save this beautiful horse...

Won't you just at least let us try?

All right.

Just for the summer.

Do you remember when we used to dance, used to play, sing all

day?

Do you remember when we used to dance,

used to play, sing all day?

Smile, I want you to smile just for me, just

for me.

Smile, won't you smile just for me?

Do you remember when we used to dance?

We used to play, sing all day.

Do you remember when we used to dance?

We used to play, sing all day.

Smile, I want you to smile, just for me, just

for me.

Smile, I want you to smile, just for me,

just for me. Darling, I've got to rest my eyes for about an hour, and then I'll

drive straight on through.

Sounds good. I'm going to go check on Beauty.

Don't walk off a cliff.

So that's where my dad got his overprotectiveness from.

Won't happen again.

Well, maybe it will.

Beauty was so good on the road trip. I was excited for him to be at Grandpa's

ranch so he could have open space and fresh air.

My grandpa was like a second dad to me.

He's just so fun and easy to be with.

And really wise.

He and my dad had their issues with each other.

But that's life, I guess.

They were both good men.

And my mom is an angel.

It felt good to be out of the house.

Out of the city.

I'm determined to help beauty.

And I knew that summer was going to be the start of something special.

Who's that?

That's Josh Filner. He does odd jobs for me and helps with the animals

sometimes.

We'll pull right up to the stall, so go ahead and lead him into any stall he

wants.

We were nervous about Beauty's reaction to this new environment, and Grandpa

pulled as close as he could get to the barn, so Beauty didn't have to be

to the sun very much.

I prayed that he would like his new home just as much as I liked being back on

the ranch.

My goal was to get him better, and out in the open.

That's a good sign.

Clean up and get some good.

Sounds good to me, Grandpa.

Beat you inside.

Well, you know, she got that paperwork done. I didn't think that would happen

fast as it did. I know.

It's a nice day.

I can help you with dinner next time if you want.

Good. Good.

So, tell me about all the animals you have.

Well,

I got some...

Barnyard cats and rooster and a bunch of hens and pigs and

cows and now a horse.

Can I feed him?

Yes, yes.

You can eat him.

My boss.

What else needs to be done around here?

Oh, well, a few odds and ends, I guess.

Fence needs painting.

Any particular color?

White, okay, whatever you want.

Really? Mm -hmm.

We got your room ready.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Thanks, Grandpa.

Glad you're here, darling.

Glad to be here.

Hey, good morning, darling. It's kind of early.

Yeah, well, I've been trying to give him the antibiotics the vet gave us. And

every time I get close, he just gets afraid. I can't even put the ointment

Let me see it.

Oh, this is good stuff.

All right.

You know, when I was your age, I was very much in love.

There you go.

With a filly.

You mean a girl?

No, no, a female horse.

My father was not a big fan of show horses.

Why? Well, he had eight work horses, and he didn't want to bring

any show horses in.

I kept on him for the longest time, but he didn't seem to

think that...

Having a filly in all of those eight workhorses would be a good idea So he

decided that no that wasn't a good idea. He was not gonna have that but I

thought well, you know, maybe maybe It would be the did you know?

Now you go get him in and I'll try to put the ointment on Yeah, this is it.

a little early in the morning for this beauty

Kind of nasty looking, huh?

Yeah. Pretty deep.

Yeah. Come here, beauty.

Good boy.

Go ahead. Can you get in there?

I'm good.

How you doing, hon?

How you doing, kid?

Grandpa,

do you think that fleas will scar?

No, no. I mean, they're pretty deep bear marks. That weasel.

That was their former owner. His former owner had put on.

But luckily, there's not a lot of scarring.

Probably wanted to keep his show horse pretty. I'm not too happy with that

Oh, yeah? Yeah, I think I'm going to have Cody keep an eye on that.

Is he a vet, too? Well, he knows more about horses than anybody else.

I think you'll find that with a...

Little care.

He'll heal pretty quickly.

And love.

Yeah. He's been emotionally damaged, too.

Yeah. I want to make sure that he can trust us.

Yeah. Always.

Always.

You got your pigs up there, and Corral is 40 acres, pretty much, and hens

and an ornery rooster. Huh.

The cows just go anywhere they want. We've got 100 acres. We've got about 60

them are woods.

So 40 to roam.

This place is incredible.

A lot of work.

Yeah, I noticed that some of the fences need to be mended. Do you think Beauty

could get through them? Well, we'll get on it as soon as we can now that we have

a reason.

A lot to be done around here.

Well, my father instilled me with a sense of hard work, so I'm game for

needs to be done. Okay.

Grandpa? Oh, uh, hi, Josh. This is my granddaughter, Audrey. Audrey?

Josh? Hi there. Nice to meet you. I'd shake your hand, but... Grandpa, can I

talk to you for a second?

Sure, honey.

Be careful.

I got it.

Grandpa, why do you still need his help? I can do everything that a boy can. I

know you can, honey. I know you can.

Well, I'm sorry I slept so late. I'm just... Getting used to the workload,

that's all, and the long hours.

One thing you've got to remember is that animals are hungry whether you're

sleeping or not.

I don't mean to lecture you, but, you know, taking care of animals is a huge

responsibility, especially an injured horse.

You're up for it?

Yeah. It won't happen again. I promise.

I'm sorry.

No, you don't have to apologize to me.

Well... And I'll apologize to every animal in here.

You're crazy.

I know.

Okay, well, I'll have Josh do other things, and you can spend your time with

Beauty that way. Okay.

Oh, did you feed him?

Josh fed him.

Beauty let him in?

Horse got in?

All right, well, I'm going to go see him.

Okay. Cody will be by later.

Okay. See you, Grandpa.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, babe.

How's it going?

I'm great.

I'm just hanging out with Grandpa.

He's just like you.

Okay. Is that a good thing?

Yeah. It feels nice having him around.

I miss you, though.

I miss you, too.

How's Mom?

Mom's good. We both miss you.

I can tell with all the missed calls.

Yeah, well.

Anyway, you sound good, and I love you.

I'll call you real soon.

I love you, too.

I'll see you soon.

If it ain't old Paul, Paul.

How are you, old bugger? How you doing? Good, good.

You know, I was so happy when I finally heard you got yourself another horse.

It's my granddaughter's horse. Hi. Do you remember Audrey?

Oh, Audrey, yeah. I remember you as by yay hi.

Long time ago, though.

So did you get the x -rays?

Yeah, I did get those x -rays. You know, I took a look, but, you know, I'd feel

a little better about it if I could take a look in person. You mind? Okay.

Great.

Audrey, you're all grown up. Look at you.

Yeah. Good to see you again.

Me too.

I ain't gonna lie, this horse is in some pain.

I mean, look at him.

I think we can nurse him back to health, but honestly, you know, with a hawk

like that, they probably should have put this horse down.

Hey, careful what you say around him.

I don't want you to scare him.

Audrey, I'm thinking we can get this horse back up and run, but...

It's going to take a lot of work.

There's a strict regimen, a diet, injections. Your grandpa knows about

That old coot's too old to do it now, but he can tell you.

Injection, misogyny, ice in the hock, diets, everything.

It's really up to you two.

What do you think?

Thank you, Cody.

Absolutely, sir. You know what?

I'll write you something up. I'll send your grandpa some stuff, get a roadmap

for rehabbing this horse, get him back on his feet.

Okay.

Tell me where I've gone wrong. Should be further along.

How do I stay strong?

Do you know the answer? Do you know the answer? Am I on the right path?

Promise not to look back.

Gotta kill myself. Sly goes at the answer.

I found the answer.

Beauty sure liked apples.

It made it easy to give him medicine.

He seemed to be settling in okay, but he wanted to stay inside the darkened

stall. I was happy Beauty was learning to trust me enough to care for him.

I don't understand how someone could be so cruel to animals.

Even though it hurt when I cleaned his wounds, I think Beauty knew I was trying

to help him get better.

The church barbecue was coming up.

And I was so excited my mom was coming for a visit.

Being away was fun, but of course I missed my parents, too.

My dad couldn't make it, but I always knew he loved me and was working hard

the family.

My mom is always just so positive and loving.

It was a good balance.

I miss you so much. I miss you, too.

Hi. Hey, Kim. How are you?

Hey. Oh, good.

James wanted me to say hello. He just got busy with work.

I'm sorry. I know you really wanted him to come. Well, you can't make a man do

anything he doesn't want to do.

Mom, how do you think Beauty looks?

Oh, wow.

He looks so healthy.

Yeah? Oh, my gosh. Even his coat is shiny.

Yeah, we've been making a lot of progress. Huh, Beauty?

Mom! This was your grandmother's.

I love it.

Are you sure?

For special occasions.

I'll take good care of it.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Baby girl, come out here.

What?

Mom.

You got this for me?

Oh my goodness.

I'm going to go change.

Rattlesnake tastes like chicken.

But you've got to cut the head off.

Don't listen to a word he says.

Is that him?

Yep.

Right. He's cute.

Can I have everyone's attention?

Howdy, everybody.

Thank you for coming to this year's annual barbecue.

Before we start on the raffles, I'd like to make a couple of announcements.

First, a reminder that the deadline for entering the 4 -H sponsored competition

and charity is next week.

It's in seven weeks, and this year's competition benefits the Mustard Seed

It's a wonderful program where sick children get therapy by interacting with

retired horses.

Very good call.

Do you think Beauty would be ready by then? I wouldn't want to do anything

would be bad for him.

I think if you learn the requirements and you get to participate, you work

We could all train him, Josh included.

What do you think?

I think it's great, but I have to get back home, so it's really up to you guys

here. Grandpa, what do you think?

Well, it's a pretty stiff competition.

No, don't stare, but you see that girl over there?

No, you're staring.

She has won every year that I can remember for the last, I don't know how

years. Her family gives her everything for a horse that money can buy.

Grandpa, it's not all about money.

Science.

This gives Pewdie and I a good goal.

That's my girl.

Please, Grandpa.

Please.

Let's give it a shot.

I'm gonna go tell Josh.

Thanks, Grandpa.

My hat. My hat, Matt.

What are you doing?

This is my hat.

You almost fell.

You're out. You're out.

Perfect.

Hey, watch where you're going. You made me spill my drink. You clumsy cow.

I'm sorry.

Baby, are you okay?

Yeah. What happened?

I'm fine. Can we just go now?

After making a fool of myself at the barbecue, the next morning I was just

to be working with Beauty.

I kept trying to get him to go outside, but as soon as the sun hit his eyes,

he'd go right back in the stall.

I didn't want to force it, so I let him relax.

Hey, Billy.

Hey, Nick.

Hey,

morning, Josh.

Morning.

Morning, Audrey. Want some oatmeal?

All good. I'm good. I already ate. Thank you. Well, we're just finishing up.

I'm actually done.

So you guys had fun at the church barbecue?

We had to come home a little early.

Audrey got a little scuffed out. Yep.

Thanks for reminding me, Grandpa.

He knows.

All that, Audrey, I ran over to you and you vanished.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just a few scrapes to my ego.

Nothing new.

Well, why don't you guys go check on Beauty? I'll clean up. Okay.

You sure? Mm -hmm.

Ready, Audrey?

Yeah. You sure you don't want to... Oh, get out of here.

So, I entered beauty in the 4 -H competition.

Do you think you could help me? Of course. Anything you need.

So that girl who knocked you down, her name is Blythe.

She's not very nice.

She used to be friends with my sister.

Anyways, I'm glad you're not upset about it.

Sister? Tally.

She used to do 4 -H competitions, too.

Why'd she stop?

Long story.

Her and Blath used to compete against each other, and Blath would always beat

her, which was okay, but she was always real snotty to my sister about it.

Hmm. Well, do you think she'd be interested in doing 4 -H competitions

I'm not sure.

Maybe if she came around here and helped out.

She's very sweet, too.

Too?

Yeah, sure.

All right, I'll see if she can come here tomorrow after lunch.

And, uh, she loves horses.

She loves horses.

And since she doesn't have one anymore, she could have some fun, too.

Yeah, sounds good to me. All right, I gotta go get back to work on this farm.

I'll see you later.

See ya.

Then, step by step, Beauty got closer to the line of the sun and crossed it. He

did it! I was so proud that he faced his fears.

He was out in the open air and on his way to recovery.

You excited?

This is my sister, Tally.

Sister? Oh, right.

Tally. Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

What a beautiful horse you have.

Can you ride him yet?

I haven't tried to ride him yet.

We're just taking it one step at a time.

Literally. Well, it looks like you're doing a wonderful job.

I had a horse once, too, but we had to sell it.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm sure that was hard.

Yeah, I mean, sometimes you just gotta accept things as they are.

This is my first tour ever.

I'm sure you guys will do well in the 4 -H.

Well, I entered him in, but I'm not sure if I know what I'm doing. Or if he

knows.

Well, I mean, we could help if you want.

Really? Yeah, I would love your help, Tally.

Thanks. All right, I'm gonna go paint some fences.

You girls good to hang out for the day?

Yeah.

So, I'm just trying to figure out how exactly to hold his head up, but he

me a little bit.

Tally and Josh introduced me to all their friends.

It was a small town, but everyone was so nice and sincere.

Except for Blythe, of course.

But we all had a blast just doing the simplest things together.

Acting silly and laughing.

And of course there's Josh.

Not sure what to make of my feelings.

But I know I like him.

And he seems to like me, too.

Audrey, you just hold him there for a minute. Okay. I'm gonna take a look at

this hawk and see how he's doing.

I think you're coming along nicely, beauty.

It's not looking bad, Audrey.

It's looking good, not bad.

A little tender still.

Good boy.

Uh -uh.

Keep her still there.

Okay. Whoa.

It's okay. It's okay.

You know what, Audrey? What?

I think we could, uh...

Start walking a little brisker pace now.

Really? Yeah, a little tight, a little firm, but he held up nice and good. A

little bit ahead of schedule, actually.

Who's this cutie?

It's my dog, Addie.

Hi, Addie. I thought we could take Beauty for a walk in the woods.

Yeah, sure.

Have you seen your grandpa's lamp?

Not all of it.

A couple miles. Do you want to see the lake?

Yeah, it'd be good for Beauty, too. Addie.

Come here, Addie.

Hey, Beauty.

You want to go for a walk with Josh?

What do you say?

You want to go for a walk?

You have to eat.

Come here.

Let's go, Beauty. Come on, Beauty.

Come on, Addie.

Stop eating so much.

No.

Come on.

Everyone follow me.

We all need just a push and a shove every once in a while, a few small

and pretty soon you'll be walking for miles. Lean on the trust, the trust that

I'm providing, and won't you be calm and just let it happen.

Well, I've always seen I'm going to set you up for a challenge, but don't look

away. You've got to take it all.

So do you like it here?

The country, I mean.

I love it.

It feels so right.

Audrey, I know you said you had to go home for school after the summer.

Is there any way you could stay?

I'd like to, but my parents won't allow it, especially my dad.

I don't much like the city, but eventually I'll go to college.

I don't know where yet, but I can come here for the summer, and then after

who knows?

I'll be an adult by then, so I'll be able to make my own decisions.

Well, I'm glad you like it, because I'd like you to stay.

I like you, too.

Thanks for introducing me to your friend and your sister and helping me with

beauty. Yes, of course.

I wish the kids at my school were more like them.

I just can't be myself around them. But here I can be myself completely.

Well, I like who you are.

I'm feeling awkward again.

Okay, you want to go back?

Yeah, sure. All right, let's go. Come on, beauty.

You trust me, right?

Yeah.

As we shoot for them.

We all need just a push and a shove every once in a while.

Well, it's a lot different since your grandma passed on.

It's good to hear a female voice around the house.

I just miss her, boy.

Yeah, I miss her too.

She was the general.

You bet she was.

She always said you'd come back here.

She did?

Said that girl's country.

She was right.

Tell you what.

Tomorrow I'm going to take you somewhere you're going to like. Really?

I don't know.

You're the best.

I don't know how I can ever repay you.

I don't know.

You have repaid me.

In full with interest.

You always say that.

I don't know.

Granddaughters get expensive, I guess.

Hello, Mr.

Elwell. Hey, Carl. How are you? Hey, I haven't seen you in here in years. How

you been? I've been good, good, good. This is my granddaughter, Audrey. Hi.

We're looking for an English quarter horse, 14 hands.

Oh, let me guess. Audrey here is going to be competing in the 4H? I hope so.

Not an arm and a leg.

You are going to be in 4H.

You know it takes skill and finesse.

But if it was an awkward competition, I'm sure you would win.

Hey, now. Grandpa, I can handle this myself.

Be nice now, Blass.

You watch yourself. My family spends big money in here, and we can shop

elsewhere if you take the wrong side in personal matters.

Blue ribbon for you, in the awkward competition, that is. Yeah, Carl, we'll

back in a minute.

Young lady, if I were you, I'd find some manners.

You're not me.

Now you.

Go fetch me that crop over there. I can't reach it.

God, that girl was nastier than a hog on ice.

Not that, Grandpa.

I'm used to bratty girls being mean to me.

She's right. I am kind of awkward.

That's why I've always preferred the company of animals. Hey, now you listen

me. You are a beautiful, graceful girl.

Now, not everybody's like that. What about your new friends? They're not like

that. No.

They're amazing.

It's true.

They've accepted me for who I really am.

But you reminded me of my dad in some ways.

Always trying to shelter me.

The truth is, is I need to stick up for myself sometimes.

I can't have you or that guy fending for me.

I know you meant well, but... I'm a lot like your dad. I guess it's because I

raised him.

That's probably why he's so meal -headed.

But I'm not too old to learn a new trick or two.

I'm sorry.

I love that you would do anything for me.

I know that.

Maybe it was just bad timing, that's all.

Maybe Blythe is just a reality check.

The world is full of rude people.

But that doesn't mean you got to associate with them. I mean, just you

surround yourself with good people, good friends and family, church.

Yeah.

Then you have a soft place to land.

I know, Grandpa.

I'll be okay.

I know you will.

And I'll try to butt out her.

butt in or find a happy medium.

Can we just get back to beauty?

Yeah, yeah, I'll get the saddle.

Stay here.

Loser.

She is so mean, but I'm glad that you guys aren't like her.

Yeah, she's a nightmare. We know firsthand.

Blath has won the 4 -H competition every year, but she's full of herself.

Besides, she's always threatened by any girl she thinks Josh likes.

Tally. I'm sorry, I meant... Let's just get back to it, okay?

Josh, I'm sorry.

The competition's in three weeks. Are you guys gonna come? Of course. We

wouldn't miss it.

How's Beauty doing?

Is he ready?

Um, not completely, but we're getting close.

Tally's teaching me how to frame him up and what's required.

So, tell me about Josh.

Boys are pigs.

James, just let her be.

I do like him. I think he likes me.

He's really nice.

But what do I know about boys?

Well, I'm just really glad you're making some friends who are sweet.

Just like you.

I'm not ready yet for a boyfriend anyway.

Besides, Beauty's my main man.

You're funny.

I'm so happy here. So is Beauty.

Country life really suits us.

We could try now that his injuries are healed. Thanks to Audrey.

It's been a team effort.

Break a leg.

Last time I rode a horse, I did break my leg.

You okay?

I'm getting used to making a fool of myself around here. You're no fool.

Thanks. You're good.

One, two, three.

Not bad.

Okay. Look good up there, Audrey. Okay.

You ready?

Yeah.

Okay. So, all right. Up on the ramp. Whoa.

Thank you so much.

It was a dream come true.

For all of us.

Beauty felt strong, healthy.

I'm not the best writer, but there we were.

Working together A team A

happy family

I traded my old riding clothes to get some in your sack.

Tally, I can't take these. They look expensive, and you probably want them

memory. If I wanted to, I would have.

Besides, I have pictures.

It's already done. I insist.

You're a true friend.

Easy to be a true friend when someone's as sweet as you.

No, you.

You.

Thanks, Tally.

I'm so excited for the 4 -H.

Me too.

You're going to do great.

Good boy.

How's he looking?

Well, I'll be darned if he's not looking pretty good.

We'd like to see him in motion, though, you mind? Okay.

Okay, let's go.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Loosen up, beauty.

Come on.

There you go. Good boy. There you go, babe.

All right.

Come on.

Easy, beauty, easy.

We got a four -inch competition to run, beauty. Yeah. How's that looking, huh?

The competition's ready.

I'm signing off on this horse. It's good to go.

Congratulations. Good job.

Always a pleasure.

I'll be watching that competition now, Andre. That'll make you proud.

Good boy, Beauty. Good boy.

Dad, I missed you so much. I missed you, too.

You must be B.

Hi.

Hey, Kim, how are you? Oh, so good to see you. You, too, dear.

Looking good, Dad. Yes, never better. Well, you must be taking care of you.

Well,

some things you can't learn with a college education.

Some things you can't teach without work.

Well, yeah.

You know, I'll meet you in the middle with that.

Great. It'll be the first time.

Oh, boy.

I hope you like what we made for dinner. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Oh.

Hey, Grace.

It's time for dinner now. Let's go eat.

Audrey? Why don't you tell your father all about your new friends and about

beauty? Oh, yeah. I have a ton of new friends here. And my best friend's name

Tally. Best friend?

Yeah. And then there's her brother Josh and Kyle and Olivia and...

And Skyler. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down here. It's a lot of people. If they are

people. They are, right? Not chickens and goats.

Yes, Dad.

The kids here are so nice.

Well, except for this one girl, Blythe, but who cares about her?

And then Tally's been doing a ton of competitions, so she's the one who's

teaching me a lot.

We've been having the most fun that I've ever had.

Seriously, I love it here.

And that's why I was thinking maybe I could stay here for the school year.

Would that be okay?

That would not be okay.

There's no way you're staying here for the school year.

But, Dad, you said that you wanted me to make friends, and I have.

Real friends.

And now you just want me to leave them?

I finally found a place where I fit in. You need to learn to make it out there

in the real world.

If you stay here, you can end up spending your whole life here. The world

you by, and you realize you haven't done anything. You've just been sitting here

in the middle of nowhere.

Hey, there's the rub.

I didn't mean it like that, Dad.

James,

apologize to your father.

No.

You know, you say that you support me, but what you really mean is that you

support me as long as I do what you say I should do.

I didn't raise you to talk to me like that. A good daughter does as her father

asks. Why should she? You never did.

Dad, stay out of it. It doesn't concern you. She's a good girl, James, the best.

What is this really about, huh? Is this some boy?

The one I love is Black Beauty.

Yeah, I admit it. I have a crush on Josh.

But I don't know anything about boys yet.

I'm still trying to figure myself out. I'm not ready for a boyfriend.

Yeah, you're not. Let me tell you about boys. They're pigs, okay? I was his age

once. I know exactly what is on his mind.

Until you are 18 years old, you will stay at my house.

When this competition is over, she is going straight home with us. And you can

get rid of that stupid horse.

It was just a suggestion.

You don't need to get your shorts in a bunch.

Yeah, we don't need to go over it again.

Well...

Hey. Hey.

I'm sorry, baby.

I've seen you two together, and I know you belong together.

I was being a jerk.

Can you forgive me?

I'm afraid of losing my little girl.

Dad, you're never going to lose me.

Okay? No matter where I am.

I know you have to choose your own path in life.

And if you choose one that brings you back here, I'm glad you found your place

in the world.

I've thought about it, too.

And I think I should go to school first.

Yeah. And after that, if you want to move here, I can support you.

Until then, just the summers.

Is that fair?

Yeah. That's fair.

And I'm sorry that I said I hate you.

You know that I don't.

Yeah, you're a lot like your mom and your grandpa.

Yeah, your love for animals and the country is like your mom.

You're stubborn like your grandpa.

I'm a lot like you, too, you know.

Oh? How so?

You're trustworthy and loyal.

And you work hard to help those that you love.

I love you, honey.

I love you, too, Dad.

You know, the thing about mourning, the beginning of a new day, always makes me

think about the day before.

I didn't do so good yesterday.

Oh, now.

I mean, it's not like I don't have my faults.

Yeah. I'm sorry, Dad.

Families are complicated.

Just blood under the bridge.

It's kind of nice to see you in your dad's hat.

Yeah.

I certainly never could fill his shoes.

It's like time to stand still out here.

Mm -hmm.

It's not like the city.

Oh, that's for sure.

Do you think you could ever see yourself moving back out here?

I don't know.

Seems like exactly that.

Moving backwards.

Audrey loves it here.

She's right at home.

You sure look good here.

It's just so peaceful out here, you know?

It's just... It's just beautiful.

Mm -hmm.

Just like you.

My name is Josh.

I help out on the ranch.

I heard of you.

Nice to meet you.

I really like Audrey.

Amazing girl.

She's really taking care of all the horses here.

My sister Tally also loves her too.

Have a good day, buddy.

You too.

It's a bit cloudy this morning, but they tell me it's going to be a beautiful

afternoon. Today's event is to benefit the Mustard Seed Farm, a wonderful

organization for equine -assisted psychotherapy, growth and learning, and

therapeutic writing.

Simply put, folks, it's about bosses helping people. We're excited to have

of you here today, along with a great group of kids. And I know all of you

have a wonderful time.

Just a few housekeeping items to get us started.

All exhibitors must report to the secretary's tent to sign in.

Pick up your numbers.

We ask that all trucks and trailers be parked in the south parking area behind

the big silo up on my left.

Restrooms are located across the north parking lot.

And finally, refreshments, hamburgers, hot dogs, and cold drinks can be

purchased at the catering truck located on the grounds.

So let's go over a few of the basics for those of you who are new to 4 -H and

riding competition.

For each class, a champion and a reserve champion will be named and receive

ribbons and some pretty cool prizes.

First place, the rider will receive a blue ribbon and a trophy. And down to

sixth place rider, who will receive a colorful green ribbon.

Today, we'll be holding events in two rings. Our smaller side ring will host

-hand and application classes.

And the main arena will host all hunter -under -saddle classes.

Our first class of the day is about to begin in ring number two, a fitting and

showmanship class.

The judge will be examining the bosses for cleanliness.

How will the horses are groomed and clipped?

Then, she'll have the handlers lead the boss, and the riders will walk, trot,

circle, and back up.

Take a few steps back for me.

Good.

Okay, great. Good morning, girls. Welcome to 4 -H. My name is Holly, and

the judge for today's show. I'm going to start out by asking you just a few

simple questions about you and your horse.

How long have you owned Buddy?

Can you turn him to the right for me and then make a big circle?

Great job.

Thank you.

So I understand he's a rescue?

Wow, he really is a beauty.

Can you make a tight circle to the right for me and then come to a complete

halt?

Well done.

I wish you the best of luck with him.

And last but not least, he's a big boy.

He's beautiful.

What breed is he?

Can you make a small circle to the left for me and then come to a halt?

Excellent job. Thank you.

Hope you're enjoying the day so far, folks.

The riders are now making their way into the main arena for the warm -up and

preparation for the Hunter in Saddle competition.

Ball front, please. Ball front.

There's gonna be a lot of horses in the ring.

Okay. I believe in you.

Thanks. Okay.

I gotta go find my spot.

But I'll see you soon.

Bye.

Thanks. Why are you thanking me?

Just for being here.

Come here.

You got this.

He's a good kid. It's okay.

If you say so.

A cloud is starting to break and the sun has finally decided to make an

appearance. It looks like we're in store for a beautiful afternoon of riding.

And a little friendly competition between locals and our local visitors.

The class is in order.

Riders, you are being judged at the wall.

Riders all walk, please.

Riders all walk.

Riders will now line up for the judging.

Something's wrong with Beauty.

Everything was going so well.

And then it happened.

The sun flashed through the sky and spooked Beauty.

This event was for charity.

For Beauty.

And it was never about winning.

I knew if I got off beauty, I would be disqualified.

But that didn't matter.

Go ahead, loser.

Get off that horse. You're going to be disqualified.

What a shame, folks. We have a disqualification for dismounting a

Number 15, Audrey, in her horse beauty.

I made a promise to Beauty that he could trust me always, and he can.

Even though Beauty had healed physically, he still had emotional

And like all of us, he's a work in progress.

You're going to be okay beauty our family and friends love us and that is

that matters We won

Nothing so different. Oh, here you are. Hey, honey. Hey.

There's always next year.

Yeah, that'll be up to beauty.

Baby, are you sure you're all right?

Yeah. I'm better than okay.

I've made some amazing friends.

And I've got to bond with Grandpa and you guys.

What more could I ask for?

Good. Because next year, I want you to beat the mean girl.

Get her.

Come here.

I love you guys.

Oh, Dad.

Good boy.

Good boy.

I'm gonna miss him.

Remember, he's all of ours, okay?

Take great care of him, Audrey.

I know you will.

He's part of our family.

Okay, honey, we gotta hit the road.

Hey, give me a second.

I better get going.

We'll see you.

I'll be back before you know it, okay?

Keep in touch.

I will. Come over here.

I'll miss you. Don't forget about me.

Bye, beauty.

Bye, beauty.

He'll be okay.

Yeah, okay.

Bye, guys.

Grandpa, thanks for everything you've done for me.

Burp. Us.

I can never repay you. Oh, you're repaid in full with interest.

And thank you for lighting up my life again.

Reminded me how much I love horses.

Someday this will all be yours.

Not soon.

Someday.

I'll see you next summer.

Next summer.

Be safe.

Let me guess, I gotta build higher fences.

No, son.

Beauty stays because he wants to.

Tell me where I've gone wrong. Should be further along.

How do I stay strong?

Do you know the answers? Do you know the answers? Am I on the right path?

Promise not to look back.

Gotta cut myself flat. Goes out the answer.

I found the answer.

Good job.
