With the help of her old stockyard boss, Foster (Richard Farnsworth), she learns the riding skills she needs to fulfill her dreams of competing in the National Equestrian Finals. The support and mentoring of ex-cavalrymen Foster helps Charlie to realizes her potential as she rides her beloved Sylvester in the competition. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
