A

Picture:
B Sound: B Extras: C Telefilm: B
An
accountant takes his daughter to the countryside to help save farm
from corrupt bankers who want to steal their prize horse, Holly.
While there, can he save his relationship with his daughter and also
find love once more?
In
Brad Keller's A Horse Tale (2015), Michael is a rich widower
with a 12-year-old troubled daughter, Chloe. After agreeing to help
save his client's farm from foreclosure he and his daughter head out
to the countryside, hopefully saving his relationship with his
daughter by spending some time with her on the side. There he runs
into a bigger problem, Sam, the farmer's fiery daughter. Sam
believes she doesn't need a man, much less any outside help to save
the family farm and legacy. At first Michael and Sam clashes
mightily ...but soon does something more blossom between each
other?
What girl hasn't dreamt of getting a horse for
Christmas? A young teenage girl in need of a mother, a rich city
widower in need a of wife, a horse ranch in financial trouble, and a
Rancher's proud (and very single) daughter ...you do the math. This
was a horse fairy tale story where you could tell where the plot was
heading, the answer to all the problems was just marrying each other
in the end. Having Patrick Muldoon, Charisma Carpenter and Dominique
Swain here didn't hurt either.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1
sound are as good as the format will get, while extras include
minuscule bonus episodes and trailers.
