The star of the show is meant to be a first class stallion, the equine actor is a very ordinary gelding that neither looks or behaves like a stallion. Add to that a teenager who is apparently, unknown to anyone including herself, a horse whisperer who can tame this dangerous horse just by talking to him for a few minutes when no one else can get near him safely, and within a few days of catching him is doing long distance riding on him to set him free, and has such a power over him that she didn't even need to tie him up overnight.
If you can suspend belief long enough to watch the film, there is some beautiful scenery to look at.
