I really love the Heartland show and have developed a good appreciation for horses that I would not have if not for this show. However, this movie just is not up to the same standard, though I'm sure it's not for lack of effort. It is totally predictable with just about every Hallmark Christmas movie concept written into it. The script is simply melodramatically over-the-top, but the acting is still excellent in the midst of the poorly written script. I don't think it's worth the time spent to watch it.
