"In the West there lives a mustang, as swift and wild as the wind." "With a heart so bold, she can mend a restless spirit." "That magnificent creature is... the horse named Flicka." "FLICKA III" "Larkspur, Wyoming" "Really?" "Whoa, boy." "Hey, check out Kelly Jenkins." "See her take that monster jump out there?" "Kelly Jenkins doesn't jump anymore." "Well, I just saw her clear that huge tree on your horse." "My horse?" "That is Kelly." "I didn't know she could ride like that." "Good." "That's the spirit." "Oh, no, I'm late for school." "Got to take a shortcut." "Let's go." "I'm calling my mother." " Kelly is so busted." "She's only supposed to be exercising my horses, not jumping them through the woods." "Quick, quick, Bentley." "I'm already late enough for school as it is." "Kelly Carol Bailey Jenkins!" "Mom, I'm sorry." "I had to cool Bentley down." "He got a little frisky today." "A little?" "Okay, a lot." "But he needs to blow off some steam." "You can save it." "I've already heard all the dramatic details from Stephanie Meyers and her mother." "Do you realize if that horse had gotten injured, they could sue us for everything we have?" "Not to mention what could have happened to you." "Okay, look, I don't know what they told you, but the school bus backfired and he spooked." "That's what happened." "He spooked, huh?" "Yes." "It's Stephanie's fault." "If she'd work him like she should, then he wouldn't get so wound up." "She's worried she might mess her hair up." "Maybe she's worried about injuring a $100,000 prize jumper." "Bentley doesn't know his price tag." "He just knows he was born to jump." "Your dad used to say you were born to jump." "All right, come on." "Put that horse away and let's get you to school." "Okay." "Come on." "Mom, it ain't gonna happen." "I just don't need this today." "The new guy starts this afternoon." "Why are you stressing?" "You're the one doing him a favor, boarding four horses for free." "Everybody's doing what they can to help." "Hello!" "We can barely help ourselves." "We don't even have a car that starts." "No, your dad would have wanted us to pitch in." "Horse people are a community." "Say when." "All right." "When." "Oh, no!" "He's here." "The office is still a mess." "I just don't see why we need to hire a new stable manager." "I've been doing just fine since Harris quit." "Not according to your last progress report from school." "Would you please get in and give it another try?" "Hey, good morning, ma'am." "Lindy." "You must be Toby." "Yeah." "And you're early." "Oh, sorry, is that a bad thing?" "No." "Not at all." "Listen, I really can't thank you enough for the hospitality." "You're welcome." "Still won't start." "This is my daughter, Kelly." "She'll be your right hand around here." "Hey, good morning." "Hey." "So can l make sure Digger knows what to do?" "Sure." "Listen, if you guys are having car trouble, I could take a look." "Won't help." "She flooded it." "Did not!" "Thank you, Toby, that's very nice of you." "So, these are your horses?" "Yeah." "Oh!" "I got her." "Sorry." "Sometimes Flicka can get a little twittery around new people." "Flicka, huh?" "You know, maybe you wanna move her away from the other horses where she can twit by herself." "I'll do that." "I got her, boss." "Thanks, Digger." "Listen, if you want to, you can borrow my truck to take Kelly to school." "Okay, yeah." "That would be a big help." "Kelly, get your stuff." "And I'll go call school." "I'll unhitch the trailer." "Sorry." "Chapter 12, answer the odd-numbered questions and the first essay." "And an essay?" "Mrs. Taylor was in one of her moods." "I saw you riding Bentley today." "Well, so did Stephanie." "You're one crazy girl, you know that?" "That's why you love me." "Hi, Briggs." "Kelly, I talked to my mother about what happened with Bentley this morning." "We think that if you can't handle my horse, then you shouldn't be exercising it at all." "I'm sorry, Stephanie." "He spooked." "Well, be more careful next time." "I don't think your mom would be too thrilled if we took all our horses to another stable." "I've got to get to class." "See you on the bus." "Okay, save me a seat." ""Save me a seat."" "You may be best friends with Briggs McBride but he doesn't even know that you're alive." "Well, he doesn't know that she's a girl." "That's for sure." "Are you kidding me?" "No..." "Picasso!" "Ugh!" "Easy, easy." "Easy!" "Okay, girl." "It's okay." "Easy." "Easy." "I guess we just scared each other." "How did you get in here, anyway?" "The stall's off limits." "Easy." "Don't you get tough with me, young lady." "You're not even supposed to be in here." "Hey, you're okay." "Did I mess up?" "I was just..." "This is my stall." "Then I better get her out of there." "What kind of horse do you have?" "I had a Dutch Warmblood." "Sold it last year." "I don't do eventing anymore, so there's not much point in keeping a fancy show horse like that around." "Eventing?" "Dressage, cross-country, show jumping." "It's what we do here." "Good to know." "Yeah." "Look, Kelly, we may ride in different saddles, but we both get on from the same side." "I know a fair amount about horses and I can run a stable." "You don't need to worry about that." "I worry about everything." "All right." "Let's keep our heads in the game." "Let's focus." "Amber, you're next." "Can you lower the red oxer a little?" "My horse hates that fence." "Sure, I can do that." "And you can end up riding on someone else's team, because on mine we jump 3'6"." "Anybody else care to ride with the little girls?" "Mary, you should demonstrate for Amber." "She needs the practice after her disaster at her last show." "I had one refusal." "Yeah, Steph." "It's not like you've ever missed a jump." "Butt out, Nina, or I'll tell mother you've been interfering with training again." "All right, come on, Amber." "You can do this." "No cry-babies on my team." "Just remember, keep your left leg on him so he doesn't run out, all right?" "Let's go, let's go." "You can do it, Amber." "Sit up." "Good girl." "Yeah, very nice." "Keep those hands steady." "Look where you're going." "Left leg." "Left leg." "Get after him." "I see a lot of empty stalls around here." "Yeah, unfortunately." "Before my dad died, we had a waiting list of people wanting to put the horses in training, and now we're just barely scraping by." "What kind of horse is she?" "Flicka?" "She's a mustang." "Like a wild mustang?" "Actually, she was tamed by a girl no older than you." "She's been with the family I work for ever since." "She's pretty special." "Here, let me get that." "Sure." "My mom told me about the fire." "You got hurt?" "Twisted my leg a tad." "I needed a job close to town to do my physical therapy, and a place to board some horses." "Your mom needed an extra hand, and here we are." "Until they finish rebuilding the ranch." "There you are." "Amber's had a bad fall." "Nina, go get my mom." "She's up at the house." "It hurts." "Try not to move it." "What happened?" "The horse ran out, she slid off." "She tried to break her fall with her wrist." "Is she all right?" "Yes, but we're down a rider for Regionals." "Paige!" "Well, I'm sorry if it sounds harsh, Lindy, but they need to learn." "This is what happens when you don't commit to a jump." "Come on, sweetie." "I'll run her up to the hospital." "No, you will not." "You've been here all of one minute." "I'm her trainer, I will take her." "Amber, I'll call your mom, okay, sweetie?" "Don't think for a minute practice is over." "I want you all working on dressage for the last part of it." "Three-day eventing is not just about jumping." "Come give me a leg up." "See you later, Kelly." "Settling in?" "Getting there." "Okay, well, the computer's set up with Excel." "We order all the feeding supplies online." "The vendors are bookmarked." "And if you should need to restart the router for some reason, it's in the closet." "The pass code is "Cherry Creek."" "It's not very secure." "You're not a PC man, are you?" "Yes." "Oh." "Good, I'll leave you to it." "Hi!" "Hi." "So, you're the new stable manager?" "Guilty." "I'm Stephanie Meyers." "I just wanted to make sure you knew that my mother paid for extra bedding for my horses, all five of them." "And I didn't see on the feed chart that they had their treats today." "I was just getting to that." "Make sure that you do." "Well, she's about as friendly as a sack of snakes, isn't she?" "Yeah, she used to be my best friend." "Really?" "Well, she hides it well." "Yeah, her mom puts a lot of pressure on her to be the best." "My dad didn't do that." "Is he the one that painted that saying up there?" "I like it." "So, why don't you ride with the rest of the team?" "Ah, it's not the same without him training us." "Now, I just exercise the horses." "Well, maybe tomorrow you could try taking Flicka out for a spin." "Really?" "I get the feeling you two are gonna really hit it off." "Flicka and me!" "Easy, girl." "All right." "Good girl, Flicka." "You can go work out your twitters here." "What are you thinking, Flicka?" "I know you're fond of jumping fences, but don't you get any big ideas." "You're a mustang, not a show pony." "All right, have fun, girl." "There you are." "Enjoying yourself?" "Hey, where are you going?" "What is it, Flicka?" "Oh, you did not just do that." "Toby said you were pretty special, but I've never seen a horse ask to put itself in training." "Hey, sweetie." "Hey, Mom." "Is Paige here yet?" "Tack room." "Good girl." "Paige, what's the update on Amber?" "She's gonna be out for six weeks." "Oh, no." "Poor thing." "She must be devastated." "You realize if we don't scrape up another rider for Regionals, we won't even qualify to compete." "Better figure out a plan B." "No, I can't think about that now." "Lindy, come on." "I know it's hard, but you've got to be realistic." "The team is the only thing keeping this place going." "I was hoping for a win at the competition to entice some new clients here, but now..." "Something will come up, it has to." "And if it doesn't?" "Have you told Kelly you might have to sell?" "What?" "What's going on?" "Tell her, Lindy." "Sweetheart, you know I don't want to sell." "But we may not have a choice." "I can't believe this." "You can't sell Cherry Creek." "You just can't." "This is all your fault." "You put this idea in her head." "I wish you'd never come here!" "Kelly!" "I'm sorry, she didn't mean that." "I think she did." "Hey, Kelly, heads up." "Steph's mom is on the warpath." "Okay." "Lindy?" " Yes." "I'd like to discuss that ride your daughter took on Bentley yesterday." "You know, I don't think she appreciates the risk involved, the kind of investment we have." "I understand, Mrs. Meyers." "Well, I'd like to talk to her myself." "You know what, I was actually just looking for her." "Toby, have you seen Kelly?" "No, I haven't." "And I don't see Flicka." "♪Are you listening to me?" "♪" "♪I'm tired of talking to myself♪" "♪This wall you built between us♪" "♪feels like a living hell♪" "♪Are you listening to me?" "♪" "♪There's no room for any doubt♪" "♪This is your last chance♪" "♪Are you in or are you out?" "♪" "♪Are you listening?" "Are you listening?" "♪" "Can I talk to you for a sec?" " Sure." "Listen, I appreciate you being here, but running Cherry Creek is one thing." "I need you to understand that I'm in charge when it comes to my daughter." "I don't know that horse of yours, and I'm gonna be worried sick until they come back." "I guess I did speak out of school saying she could ride her." "But Flicka is a good horse." "She won't let anything happen to that girl." "I promise you that, ma'am." "Oh, you didn't." "What?" " Step in something?" "Yeah, the "ma'am" thing." " I'm not your mother." "No, ma'am..." "No!" "Certainly not." "Excuse me, boy." "Hey." "Feel better?" "Yeah, so does Flicka." "Thanks for letting me ride her." "You're welcome." "Next time, though, wear a helmet." "I really caught it from your mom." "Sorry!" "It's all right." "Briggs was asking about you." "What did he say?" " Nothing, really." "I think he was just hoping you'd be back in time to go to town with the other kids." "Yeah, he always tries to get me to come out with the guys when they're doing something fun." "It doesn't mean anything." "Not what you were hoping for, I guess." "Kelly, will you come in the house, please?" "Coming!" "Were you riding that horse without a helmet?" "Can we just put today behind us, okay?" "It's fine with me." "You're not hungry?" "Sweetheart, I have no plans to sell Cherry Creek." "I'm still hoping for a miracle." "Me, too, Mom." "I'm beat." "Do you mind if I just go inside and do some homework?" "Sure." "I'll get the plates." "Oh, gosh." "Where you going so early?" "Got to ride." " Which horse?" "Flicka." "I'll be back in time for church." "Oh!" "Flicka!" "Hey, what are you doing in that stall?" "Kelly put her in there herself after their morning ride." "Really?" " Yeah." "That's big." "Kelly hasn't really bonded with a horse since she lost her dad." "Eventing was so much of who she was." "Now she won't even try." "Breaks my heart." "My kids went through that." "Anything that reminded them of their mom was kind of put away for a while." "But they're doing better now that they're off at college." "I didn't know you were married." "Right out of high school." "Becky and I were together every day, until..." "I'm sorry." "For a long time, doing something we used to do together just made the fact we had to move on without her even more painful." "I guess, what I'm saying is," "I know how hard it can be, if you ever needed someone to talk to." "Thanks." " Yeah." "Oh, the retired grand prix horse is coming in this morning." "He's feed and board only." "All right, ma'am." "I mean, see ya later, Lindy." "Not another whinny out of you." "Everything is pretty much all set for the charity dance." "I need the decorating committee to be at the Blue Swan Riding Club no later than noon on Saturday." "Oh, and please make sure your parents don't flake on the auction items they promised they'd bring." "Thank you, Mary." "Okay, look, everybody," "I know you're wondering about the competition." "Hey, Nina." " Shh." "They're getting to the good part." "I've confirmed with Regionals that we need a minimum four riders in order to compete." "It's okay," "I have called the trainers at the local stables and they're gonna do their best to help us find a last minute rider to replace Amber." "What about Kelly?" "Everybody knows she rides better than anyone else." "If you guys would just ease up on your attitude little bit, then maybe she'd consider it." "Kelly?" "If you want stall muckier, why don't we ask Billy over at Willow Creek to ride with us?" "Who?" " Billy Moseby." "He's not a real rider." "Neither is Kelly." "The last time she trained was with her dad." "She's probably forgotten it all." "Forgotten?" "Who's that?" "It's Norman, the retired horse." "Hang on, Nina." "I've got an idea." "Sorry to interrupt." "A horse trailer just pulled up." "I got to grab a helmet for the new rider." "She forgot hers." "New rider?" "So where is she?" "She is in the changing room." "And you guys can check her out once you're done with your little meeting." "Wait a minute." "Did I say the meeting was over?" "Oh!" "Hey, Lindy." "I've heard of whistling while you work, but dancing?" "My physical therapist said the two-step was good for my leg." "Twice as many steps on the left as the right." ""Times two-step therapy."" "Sounds like a three-stepper to me." "No, I'm serious." "I can cut a mean rug." "Can you do the pony?" "Do the pony." "And the wagon whip." "No, no." "No." "That's not good." "Hey, Kelly says there's a new rider to try out for the team." "Thank you." "She's in the ring now." "Anybody know her story?" "No, no idea." "Who is that?" "Okay, Flicka, show them what we've got." "Let's see how fast she is." "Is that Flicka?" "I'm afraid so." "Wait, so that's Kelly riding?" "It is." "Wow." "Way to go, Kelly!" "Come on!" "She hasn't lost it." "Did you see that?" "That was an amazing time." "I guess she hasn't forgotten after all." "Welcome to the team." "We're going to Regionals." "Good girl." "Come on, let's go." "What do you think, Mom?" "I think you're amazing." "Kelly, you and Flicka make an awesome team." "Thanks, honey." "Mom's on her way, brat." "Better be ready, or you'll be in trouble." "I really do wish you were my sister instead of her." "Don't you think it's a little weird that your only girlfriend is a 10-year old?" "I wouldn't mind if we were still friends, Stephanie." "Yeah, well, maybe you should've thought of that before you..." "Before?" " Before what?" "Forget it." "While you've been mucking out stalls," "I have worked hard on my riding." "We may be on the same team, but we are not equals." "See you this weekend, Briggs." " Yeah." "I'm stoked you're gonna be riding with us." "You are?" "Heck yeah." "We're gonna rock Regionals now." "Yeah, yeah." "We're gonna grab a pizza." "Do you wanna come?" "No, I'm okay." "I'll see you on Monday." "Wait, you're not coming to the charity dance?" "I wasn't planning on it." "Why?" "Well, it's mandatory for team members to go." "But whatever." "It's not like they're gonna kick you off the team." "We're not a team without you." "Stephanie's right." "Briggs doesn't even see me." "Hey, what's this?" "Hey." "Well, I replaced a few parts and tightened up a few others." "Actually, it's in pretty good shape considering the miles on this thing." "It was David's." "He kept it no matter what." "Now I keep it no matter what." "You've been quite the miracle worker around here." "Well, I wouldn't say that." "I haven't outsmarted that printer." "I meant Kelly." "Well..." "I let her ride Flicka, but I can't do much about the other issue." "What do you mean?" "What other issue?" "Boys." " What?" "No, no." "If Kelly had a problem with the boys she would come to me." "That's one thing I know." "I'm her mother." "She tells me everything." "Did she say something to you?" "No, I just picked up on a few things." "Are you implying that I don't pay enough attention to my daughter?" "I didn't say that." "What are you saying, then?" "I didn't mean to upset you." "Well, you did." "But it's not your fault." "That went about as well as squatting with your spurs on." "What am I looking at?" "My two lame options for the charity dance." "Tacky and dated, or just plain horrid." "Why don't you check in my closet?" "There's bound to be something." "Oh, yeah, I could do the whole retro thing." "Oh!" "Hey, it's not that bad." "Mom, I literally have nothing to wear." "Nothing." "I will help you find something, okay?" "Kelly, is there anybody special going to the dance?" "Anyone you might be interested in?" "Mom, I have to go to the dance." "I'm on the team." "No, I know that." "I was just asking." "I mean, you'd tell me, right, if there was a boy?" "Somebody you liked?" "Doesn't matter anyway." "Stephanie and the girls are gonna show up looking like something out of Teen Vogue." "I'm just gonna be plain old me." "Sweetheart, you're so beautiful." "Don't you know that?" "No, I'm not." "I'm invisible." "Briggs doesn't even know I'm a girl." "Briggs, huh?" "Just don't tell anyone." "It's stupid." "He's my best friend." "It's not stupid." "Your dad was my best friend." "You know what?" "We're going into town." "We need a mother-daughter shopping spree." "Mom, we can't afford a shopping spree." "If we could afford it, it wouldn't be a spree, now, would it?" "Come on!" "Come on." "♪Eyes all over me♪" "♪Maybe they're too blind to see♪" "Oh." "♪I'm breathing electricity♪" "♪It's a spark♪ ♪that lives inside of me♪" "♪I don't really care,♪ ♪let everybody stare♪" "♪Cause I feel like♪ ♪a million stars tonight♪" "♪Wherever I go♪ ♪nobody will know♪" "♪That I just keep♪ ♪dancing by myself...♪" "No, that's too tight." "You're not gonna be able to dance in that." "You really think he'll ask me to dance?" "Yeah!" "Stranger things have happened." "It's a dance." "I think it's a little too much." "But not for you." "I don't need that." " Yes, you do." "Wow!" "Mom, you're hot!" "Yes, you are." "Oh!" "Okay, now that looks good." "I love it." "Try it on and see." "Thank you." "Go, go." "Work all that out in here." "They're really cute." "I got them at that shoe store down on the main strip." "I'll be really quick." "Hey, Toby." " Hey." "Did I ever get around to inviting you to the dance?" "It was on my to-do list, I just sort of forgot." "Oh, no, I appreciate it, but..." "Lindy said you're a great dancer." "You have to come." "Oh, Lindy wants me to come?" "Yeah, we need you to be the instigator." "Last year, the minute we played a slow song, all of the boys did a mass evac." "They wouldn't come back in until we brought out the chili fries." "Mary, what are you doing?" "We've got to get ready." "I'm coming." "So, you'll be there, right?" " All right." "Good, it's at the Blue Swan Riding Club." "Okay." "Well, Picasso, good thing I brought my suit." "♪There is gonna be♪ ♪a party tonight♪" "♪Yeah, I think he's gonna be♪ ♪there but that's all right♪" "♪I'm not gonna see him♪ ♪I'll dance all night♪" "Wow." "This is so beautiful." "Okay, go mingle." "Have some fun." "Okay." "Well, look at you." "It's okay?" " Yes!" "I can't remember the last time I had on heels." "Speaking of which, those are gorgeous." "Thank you, I try." "There's your cowboy." "Where?" "Right there." "He is so cute." "I mean, you know, for you." "Would you stop?" "He's coming over here." "Hi." " Hey, evening, ladies." "Hello." "Uh..." "Oh, look, there's Mrs. Meyers, I'll see you two later." "Okay." "Nice party." "Yes, it's beautiful." "Uh-huh." "Cool." "Kelly's here." "What a thrill!" "Yeah, I'll be right back, okay?" "And she even wore a dress." "I knew this was gonna happen." "No one is dancing." "Where's Toby?" "Calm down." "He's right there." "Kelly." "Whoa." "You look, um..." "Yeah?" "You look really nice." "Thanks." "So..." "Do you wanna dance?" "Sure." "Oh, look, he asked her to dance." "Care to join them?" "You'll have a better view." "Yes." " Yeah?" "All right." "Do you think there's something going on between Briggs and Kelly?" "Amber, grow a brain." "He just feels sorry for her, obviously." "It's not obvious to me." "Hate to break it to you, Steph, but it kind of looks like he's into her." "My mom got a new car." "She gave me her old SUV." "Really?" "The pink one?" "It's maroon, actually." " Mmm-hmm." "Yeah, sure." "I was wondering maybe if you wanted to go for a drive sometime, maybe check out a movie or something." "Sure." "Sure." "That sounds fun." " Yeah." "♪You make me go...♪" "♪Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh♪" "♪Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh♪" "♪I wanna be with you♪" "♪With you♪" "♪With you♪ ♪With you♪" "♪I wanna be with you♪" "We're dancing." "♪Everybody get ready♪" "♪One, two, three, four♪" "♪Ooh, ooh!" "♪" "♪Yeah, hey, hey!" "♪" "♪Hey, hey, hey!" "♪" "♪Sitting here alone♪" "♪Should I call you?" "♪" "I love this song!" "You okay?" "Kelly, wait." "Way to pick 'em, Briggs." "She was cute for a minute." "Oh, honey." "I'm so sorry." "Why does everything good have to get ruined?" "It's just a dress." "I know." "But Briggs never asked me out when I was in my jeans." "Oh." "Listen to me." "The horse can have perfect conformation but it takes more than that to be a champion, right?" "It takes the whole package." "And that's what you have." "And nobody's gonna see it unless you start seeing it in yourself." "It's not the dress that impressed Briggs." "It was you." "It's you, sweetie." "No." "Let's go get you cleaned up, okay?" "What did you do?" "Oh, look who's here." "Look who's come." "The walking train wreck." "You're late." "Sorry." "Somebody hid my bridle." "But I found it anyways." "By the way, Kelly, the Riding Club loved the way you redecorated the dessert table last night." "You two, just be cool." "Okay, let's focus on nice clean jumps today." "Don't worry about the clock." "Clean runs." "Let's go, Flicka." "I'm the number one rider on this team." "I go first." "Hey, you never came back to the dance." "Hey, no chit-chat during practice." "You're an awesome dancer." "Okay." "You're gonna get me into trouble." "What are you doing?" "Why are you knocking down rails when I asked for a clean ride?" "Next." "You're done." "Watch where you're going." "You just scuffed my brand new riding boots." "Do you have any idea how much these cost?" "I didn't mean to." "Maybe we can buff it out." "Are you a stable hand or a member of the team?" "Why do we have to be like this?" "We used to be friends, remember?" "Yeah." "Like you remembered me when your dad died." "What?" "What does my dad have to do with this?" "I only rode with him since I was three years old." "I missed him, too, you know." "And then you just stopped talking to me." "You never even told me why." "Steph..." "Not only did I lose my trainer, but I lost my friend, too." "I had no idea." "That whole first year was a fog." "I shut everyone out." "I was your best friend, Kelly." "I'm sorry." "Forget it." "I'm over it already." "Way over it." "Just don't talk to me." "Stephanie, is there a problem?" "I don't have a problem, okay?" "The only problem is that we have that phony Kelly Jenkins riding on our team." "It's either me or her, Paige." "I'm serious, you have to pick or I'm going to quit." "I will." "You have had a bad day, Stephanie." "Come on, we're a team." "We need to learn to work together." "Well, I don't want to work with her." "Come on, come on." "Print!" "Yes!" "Yes." "I brought you the mail." "Oh, great." "I hear the ranch rebuild is coming along." "Yeah, should be just a few more weeks, I think." "It's been nice having you around here." "Thanks." "And Flicka, too." "She's brought Kelly back to life, you know." "Yeah." " Lindy." "We got a problem." " What is it?" "Stephanie's threatening to quit the team." "I'd say good riddance." "That girl's just flat-out mean." "Oh, really?" "Between her and Nina, they've got five horses in training." "She quits, she takes them all to another stable." "Yeah, we could not take that big a hit." "Okay, now, listen, I don't want you to worry." "I'm gonna talk to Stephanie." "Thanks, Paige." "You're a good friend." "Call me if you need me." "I will." "Paige." "I'm not sure you're such a good friend to Lindy." "I have been here since David died through all the ups and downs." "So what would you know about my friendship or my loyalty?" "Well, I know what disloyalty looks like on paper." "What's this?" "Employment contract you left in the printer queue." "Okay, look." "I care about Lindy, but she has got horrible business sense." "Her heart's too big." "She barely charges half these girls to board their horses." "She lets them work it off, and one of these days, she is not gonna be able to keep things going." "Don't you think she deserves some kind of warning?" "I have done all I can." "This place was their dream, and I got dreams of my own." "Who is that?" "That's the new girl." "Yeah." "I heard she rides." "Thank God it's not with us." "No kidding." "We'll see you around." "Bye, ladies." "Wish me luck on my calculus test." "Good luck." "You'll be great, Briggs." "Thanks, Steph." "I hope so." "I'll call you later, tell you how it went." "Okay." "Okay." "He wasn't talking to you." "Uh, yes, he was." "No, he wasn't." "He calls me all the time." "To get a ride to the stables, maybe." "And why does he call you?" "For help with his homework?" "No, he asked me to the movies, actually." "So what?" "He has asked me to the movies before." "Oh." "Did you think that was something special?" "Okay, you know what, Stephanie?" "I have had enough of your attitude." "Oh, really?" "Do you want to settle this?" "Sure." "What did you have in mind?" "Cross-country course." "Loser leaves Briggs alone." "You're on." "Call it." "Come on, Flicka." "What are they doing?" "Looks like a race to me." "Go, Stephanie!" "Come on, Kelly!" "Go, Stephanie!" "Come on." "Come on, Steph." "You got it!" "Come on, girl." "Come on!" "Go, go, go, Kelly!" "Go, Flicka." "Come on, you can do it." "Go, Steph!" "Go, Steph!" "Hang on, hang on, Kelly." "Come on!" "What are you doing?" "Stop it!" "Come on, girl!" "Come on!" "Let's go, Kelly!" "Come on, Kelly, come on!" "Go!" "Yes, Stephanie!" "Come on." "Go, Flicka!" "I am appalled at both of you." "I'm sorry." "It was a stupid thing to do." "You know what?" "I'm done." "My mother agrees." "She's on her way to get our horses." "Stephanie, you can't quit the team." "We can't go to Regionals without you." "Isn't that sad?" "Well, if Stephanie is leaving, I'm leaving." "You can't leave." "Congratulations, Kelly." "You won the race, but you've sunk the team." "You might as well have put a "For Sale" sign on the farm yourself." "Mom, I..." " Kelly, what were you thinking?" "She wasn't." "Kelly!" "Kelly!" "Kelly, wait!" "Kelly!" "Lindy, we need to talk." "Not now, Paige." "Lindy." "You are one lucky woman that my daughter wasn't seriously injured." "Where is Stephanie?" "She's inside." "Our driver is on the way with our horse trailer." "Wait, wait." "Can we just talk about this for a second?" "Where are you even taking your horses?" "To our new stable." "What new stable?" "Triumph Equestrian Club." "That's what I needed to tell you." "The equestrian club is mine." "The Meyers put the money up for it." "Paige, what are you saying?" "This was an opportunity I could not pass up." "We were gonna wait until after the competition to tell everybody, but now that Stephanie needs a new team to ride..." "So, you're just gonna leave right before Regionals with no notice?" "After that stunt your daughter pulled?" "You better believe it." "Come on." "Let's help Stephanie get packed." "If you leave, the whole team will follow." "You are ruining us, do you realize that?" "I'm really sorry it had to happen this way, but without the Meyers there is no team." "Paige, are you coming?" "Hey." " They're all leaving." "And Kelly just took off." "What can I do to help?" "Can you saddle up a horse for me, please?" "I've got to go after my daughter." "I'll go." "Don't worry." "Hey." "Cold?" "Thanks." "Your mom's pretty worried about you right now." "I can't face her." "I've ruined everything." "Kelly, you may have done a reckless thing, but you didn't create the situation the stables are facing." "What if I did?" "Do you know how my dad died?" "He was driving his truck in a storm, pulling an empty horse trailer," "and I guess the wind caught it or something." "And he got pushed off the road." "He was on his way to pick up a new horse." "I had my heart set on it." "Kelly..." "No, don't tell me it isn't my fault, because no matter how many times somebody tells me it isn't, it still feels like it is." "This might sound stupid, but the way that Flicka kept asking me to jump her, it's like she knew that I missed being in the ring." "I thought maybe Dad sent her." "Like it was a sign or something, but now look what I have done." "Cherry Creek is all we have left of him, and now we are gonna lose that, too." "You know I have daughters of my own, right?" "Little bit older than you." "If your dad loved you as much as I love my own girls, the only thing in the world he would want for you is to live every day to its fullest." "Try to be as happy as you know how to be." "That's all a dad wants." "That's it." "You understand?" "And from all the stories I've heard, your dad was a great leader." "And a great teacher." "He taught you how to be a winner, in or out of the ring." "What do you suppose your dad would do in this situation?" "Well..." "Well, first he'd ride until he figured out how to save Cherry Creek." "I know I've done some of my best thinking on a horse." "I have been riding for hours, and I still don't have a clue." "Think like a leader, Kelly." "Think like your dad." "I'm sure you'll realize things aren't as hopeless as they seem." "Thanks for being so good to me, Flicka." "I got her." "Thanks, Toby." "I'm so sorry." "It's okay." "Thank you." "Oh, sweetie, running or riding away from our problems isn't the answer." "And neither is ignoring them and hoping for the best." "We've been focused on what we lost for a long time." "Now it's time we focus on what we have." "Okay?" "No matter what, we have each other." "Oh, I love you." "I love you, too." "Let's go get warm, okay?" "Here we go." "What are we gonna do, Flicka?" "You want to compete in Regionals, don't you?" "The bus." "So, you've heard Mary's going to Paige's new stables?" "Yeah." "Big surprise." "What about you?" "Who, me?" "I'm not going anywhere." "Really?" "Well, I guess I better get us a new team together then." "Who have you got in mind?" "Her." "Romina Guzman." "She just moved here from Argentina." "Plays polo with her eight brothers." "They say she's an animal." "Yeah, but can she jump?" "Let's find out." "What do you think?" "Mmm-hmm, she's fantastic." "A little wild." "She can ride." "Welcome aboard, Romina." "So you want me on your team?" "Yeah." "Of course." "Billy Moseby." "That's great, Kel." "He's a groom." "I know." "They say he can ride anything." "He doesn't have a horse." "What about Norman?" "That horse is retired." "Not anymore." "You ready for Regionals?" "I've been ready all my life." "Now all we need is a trainer." "Oh, not again." "For Pete's sake." "I just saved that document, and now you ate it." "What?" "How attached are you to that cowboy hat?" "I was born with it." "Why?" "We need a trainer, or they won't let our team compete." "You are asking me?" "If you want me to drive some cattle or do some roping," "I'm your man, but I know less than nothing about that fancy-dancy horse stuff that you all do." "Ha!" " But you know horses." "That's what we need." "We need you, Toby." "We may not win, but at least we'll go down trying." "Please say yes." "Even I can't believe I'm agreeing to this, and it's coming out of my mouth." "We're going to the Regionals." " Yes." "You're probably gonna meet a lot of trainers at the show, so just so you can sound like you kind of know what you're doing," "I'll run you through the basics." "The first event is dressage." "The judges are mainly looking to see that the horse is trained well enough, and that the rider's skills are strong enough to take the jumps in the next two events." "The key is to be fluid and relaxed." "It's horse ballet." "Ballet, huh?" "Look out." "Whoa!" "Sorry." "What are you doing?" "Huh?" "Mmm." "We're a little rough around the edges." "They look like a bunch of cowboys to me." "Oh, no offense." "Well, from one cowboy to another," "I just might have an idea." "This is perfect, Toby." "Thanks." "The next is cross-country." "It's a test of endurance and strength." "There'll be about 12 jumps, and this is a timed event so you got to be quick." "That's not fast enough." "I've got a nutty idea." "Come on in." "Billy, try dropping the stirrups down a hole." "This big boy loves to jump." "Longer stirrups mean more leg." "Much better." "Now we have a happy horse." "Yeah, you don't know anything about that fancy-dancy horse stuff, huh?" "Yeah, maybe a little." "So this is the final event." "Show jumping." "You'll walk the course with the team just like this before the event starts." "You're supposed to help us try and figure out how many strides we'll need to get to the next jump with our horse." "Well, the walking part is no problem." "Okay, so just take big paces and then stop and look like you're coming up with a plan." "I'll tell the team what to do before the class starts." "Oh." "You mean there's a class?" "Ah!" "He keeps tossing his head." "Hmm." "What?" "That horse might have too much bit." "Do you want to try something softer?" "Couldn't hurt." "Let's see if that helps." "Is that better?" " Yeah." "All right, guys, on three." "One, two, three!" "Go, team, go!" "Come on." "Good girl." "Good girl." "Come on, I'm over here." "I'm over here." "Come on." "I'm right here." "Come and get me." "Come on." "You're pretty." "Yeah, you know it." "And I thought that horse was supposed to be a wild mustang." "She's still wild when she wants to be." "Right, Flicka?" "See?" " Mmm-hmm." "You know, I really admire the way you pulled this team together." "Well, I couldn't have done it without you." "Thanks for sticking with us." "I'd follow you anywhere." "Really?" "I know a winner when I see one." "With all this team drama going on," "I never got a chance to ask whether you were into that movie idea." "Are you trying to ask me out on a date?" "Maybe." " Maybe?" "Why, are you leaning towards a yes?" "Could be." "I guess you got your answer." "Hey, Flicka." "Hey." " Did you see that?" "You know, I was thinking, there are probably gonna be a lot of trainers at the show tomorrow." "Real trainers, not a cowboy fill-in like me." "He's right, Mom." "When they see us giving it our all, someone is bound to notice." "I sure hope so, sweetie." "Regardless, I am so proud of you." "Here's to Cherry Creek." "Yes." "And to you, Toby." "Yeah, thanks for everything." "All right, let's eat." "Yummy." "You guys as hungry as I am?" "That's so silly." "That's funny." "Wow." "Tomorrow is the big day, huh?" "So excited." "Get some sleep." "I'll see you in the morning." "Okay, goodnight." " Goodnight." "Goodnight." "God, the time has just flown by." "Yeah." "Can't believe you're heading up north after the horse show." "I was wondering how you might feel about me coming to visit now and then." "So the cowboy likes the town after all, huh?" "I wouldn't drive five miles to visit a town." "Mom?" "Whoo!" "Oh." "Sorry, I will ask later." "Don't mind me." "We were just saying goodnight." "Yeah, uh..." "Goodnight." " Goodnight." "See you tomorrow." "You'll see me tomorrow." "Sleep well." "Thanks." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "What do you think?" "I'm thinking I wish I had washed my truck." "Or painted it." "Yeah." "This is so amazing." "We're gonna go park the trailer." "May I have your attention, please?" "All competitors must sign in before heading to the practice ring." "Don't be nervous, Flicka." "You're right, I'm the one that's nervous." "Hey, we're all checked in." "Oh, good." "Hey, Flicka?" "You good?" "You should have seen me..." "Don't look now." "Bogey, two o'clock." "Wow." "The warm-up course is now closed." "Please exit the ring." "He looks sloppy." "Can you fix his pad?" "Don't let them rattle you." "Yeah, you're right." "Kelly." "I've missed you." "I missed you, too." "How is the new stable?" "It's so boring." "There's just a bunch of stuck-up girls there." "Beat it, Nina." "What are you doing here?" "Same thing as you." "Really?" "Where is your team?" "Hey, Briggs." "Hey, you guys." "We're so excited." "Wow." "This is just brilliant." "Good luck." "Hey, is everybody ready?" "You look good." "Will all dressage competitors please report to the ring side?" "Let's go." "Mary?" "All right, team." "Come on." "Gather around." "Come on, guys, group meeting." "We're facing some pretty stiff competition here today." "Some folks around here think we don't have a chance, that we don't even belong here." "And maybe we don't." "I mean, who jumps a mustang?" "Right, Flicka?" "We're not so different from Flicka." "Look how far she's come." "Not because of great breeding or because she has had the best training," "but because whatever she does she puts her whole heart in it from start to finish." "That's all I'm asking of you here today." "Just like the sign in the office reads," ""If we give it our all..."" ""We've already won."" ""We've already won."" ""We've already won."" "You ready?" "Come on." " Yes." "Go get 'em." "I'll see you out there." " Okay." "Have fun." " Thank you." "What?" "I kind of miss the cowboy hat." "Howdy." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to day one of Blue Swan's regional cross-country championship." "We'd like to thank all of our sponsors and VIP guests for their contributions to this exceptional event." "Hey, there is that fabulous trainer." "What is his name again?" "James Reynold." "His riders are always in the ribbons." "Really?" "Hello, James." "Oh, hey, how are you?" "Good." "Are you competing today?" "No, I'm just a spectator this time." "In the dressage ring, Stephanie Meyers riding Bentley for Triumph Equestrian Club." "Where have you been?" "Stephanie is going." "I know, I know." "I'm here." "In dressage, the rider should appear effort-free while the horse willingly performs the requested movement." "The judges are looking for strong patterns, straight lines and a consistent tempo." "Most importantly, they want to see the horse and rider working as a team." "And that was a beautiful ride from Stephanie Meyers and her Hanoverian gelding, Bentley." "All right." "You ready?" " Yeah." "Good luck, Kelly." "You'll be great." "And now from the Cherry Creek farms," "Kelly Jenkins riding Flicka." "♪Together at the circus,♪ ♪lions, tigers and bears♪" "♪And waked alone♪ ♪at the carnival fair♪" "♪I just can't seem to sleep♪ ♪I sit up all night counting sheep♪" "♪I'd rather be your teddy bear♪" "♪Once a rebel, always a rebel♪" "♪Well, everyone♪ ♪needs an angel in their lives♪" "♪Oh, now, rebel angel♪" "♪You're so divine♪" "Now, from Cherry Creek farms, Briggs McBride." "♪When you walked into my life♪" "♪And time stood still♪ ♪and I was going fast♪" "♪Stood on my mind♪ ♪And take it in the night♪" "♪Once a rebel, always a rebel♪" "♪Well, everyone♪ ♪needs an angel in their lives♪" "♪Once, a rebel♪" "♪Oh, now, rebel angel♪" "♪You're so divine♪" "♪Once a rebel, always a rebel...♪" "Cherry Creek!" "Cheers to making it through dressage, tomorrow cross-country." "Bring it on!" "Yeah." "It's day two, cross-country." "first rider on the course," "Triumph Equestrian Club's Stephanie Meyers and Bentley." "Come on." " Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go, baby, go!" "Yeah, Stephanie!" "Wow." "What a way to start the cross-country event." "fantastic run by Stephanie Meyers." "Now, from Cherry Creek farms, Briggs McBride." "Go, Briggs!" "Nice." "Go, go, go, go, go." "And Briggs McBride has put Cherry Creek back on top." "Good job, Briggs." "What is it, Toby?" "The bell boot tore." "Nicked his heel pretty bad." "Might need a few stitches." "Is he gonna be okay?" " Sure." "I'm not so sure he's gonna make the show jumping tomorrow." "Winning is not worth injuring the horse." "No, you better sit this one out, Briggs." "I'll tell the officials." "I'm so sorry, Kelly." "It's okay." "It's not your fault." "Well, we just got word." "We have a withdrawal." "One of Cherry Creek's strongest riders, Briggs McBride." "A tough blow." "The rest of the Cherry Creek team will have to post high scores from here on out to make up for those lost points." "On the course, Wilhelmina Spencer Cromwell riding for Triumph Equestrian Club." "Go, go, go!" "Come on!" "She just gave up!" "She just gave up!" "Next up for Cherry Creek farms, Kelly Jenkins, riding Flicka." "That horse is fast." "Flicka may be small, but she is mighty." "Come on." "Yeah." "Come on, Kelly!" "Imagine what Cherry Creek would do if they had a real trainer." "Even the blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while." "Let's go, let's go!" "Almost there now." "Easy." "Yes!" "Go, Kelly!" "This could be the best time so far." "Yes, Kelly Jenkins from Cherry Creek has set the fastest time." "I don't know, Paige, they seem to be doing pretty good to me." "Yeah, well, just wait for the show jumping." "That will separate the men from the boys." "Welcome to the final day of our three-day event." "Show jumping." "With less than a tenth of a point separating the top three teams," "Triumph Equestrian Club, Cherry Creek farms and Quail Ridge, plus a tight individuals competition." "We're starting things off with Cherry Creek and Billy Moseby on Norman." "I don't know what was more surprising, that Norman was retired or that Billy was just a groom." "All those two needed was a chance." "Now on the show jumping course," "Romina Guzman for Cherry Creek." "Ow!" "I got to give her credit though for leaving out that stride." "At least she went for it." "You better go get Flicka." "You're up soon." "Okay." "Good try, good try." "I'm really sorry, Toby." "That's all right." "They're gonna blame the cowboy." "Rightfully so." "You did great." "Don't worry about it." "You did really good." "Next up, Stephanie Meyers." "You ready?" "That triple combination looks really tight." "Bentley hates those." "Okay, so you just make sure you check him before you head into it." "Now, remember, this is your competition to lose, Stephanie." "Don't mess it up." "Thanks for the pep-talk, Paige." "Good luck, Stephanie." "You're gonna do great, Steph." "Thanks, guys." "Let's go." "Yes!" "What is she doing?" "She's headed in too fast." "Stephanie Meyers has delivered a solid performance, maintaining Triumph Equestrian's lead, with Cherry Creek trailing just a few points behind." "Good ride, Steph." "Thanks." "And our final rider, in second place going into the jumper round," "Kelly Jenkins from Cherry Creek farms." "Now she is going to have to put up a record time to overtake Stephanie Meyers and..." "Nina." "Nina, come watch with me." "Sure." "All right, Flicka, you take care of our girl out there, all right?" "Is it the other way around?" "We'll take care of each other." "All right, go get them." "All right, Kelly!" "No matter what happens, Flicka, thanks for getting me back in the show ring." "Let's go have some fun." "All right." "Here we go, come on." "Yes!" "She rode that perfectly." "Oh, I'm so nervous, I can't even watch." "Then you're gonna miss it." "She's leaving out a stride to make up time." "Come on, sweetheart." "Yes." "Wow." "What an impressive ride for Kelly Jenkins and Flicka!" "But will it be enough to put her team in the ribbons?" "Good girl, Flicka." "Hey, Kelly." "You and that wild mustang have got Triumph Equestrian Club all riled up." "Paige is freaking out right now." "Guess that was a really good ride." "Thank you." "You know, I thought you and your team were a joke but you're actually amazing." "You find the good in people, just like your dad." "I miss him." "I miss you." "Me, too." "And now for the winners of the individual and team awards." "The reserve champion in this year's competition is..." "Good luck." " Yeah, you, too." "Kelly Jenkins for Cherry Creek farms." "Go, Kelly!" "That also gives Cherry Creek second place for the team competition." "That leaves Stephanie Meyers as champion and Triumph Equestrian Club as winner of the Blue Swan's three-day event." "Congratulations." "Let's get a victory lap for our two champions." "Great job." " Thank you." "Thank you." " Congratulations." "Fantastic." "Nice work." "Blue Swan Equestrian Park would like to thank all the competitors for their participation in what has turned out to be quite an exciting three-day event." "Hey, Lindy." "Congratulations." "Listen, uh, if you're looking for a full-time trainer," "I'm interested, give me a call." " Wonderful, thank you." "I'm serious." "Great job today." "Thank you." " See you." "Thank you all for coming, and we'll see you next year." "Adios, Flicka." "See you, Flicka." "Have fun, girl." "Goodbye, Flicka." "Thanks, Flicka." "See you, Flicka." "Bye, Flicka." "All right, everybody, tack up your horses." "Lesson's in 20." "Hey, Flicka." "I'm gonna miss you so much, Flicka." "You can ride her anytime you come up for a visit." "Okay." "Come on." "Oh, sweetie." "And I knew she wouldn't want us to take off without you having a jumper of your own." "Toby, what have you done?" "This is Flicka's colt." "She had him about two years ago." "He's gorgeous." "James says he is the perfect age to put into training." "With his spirit and your riding, this fellow could turn out to be a world-class jumper." "You mean he's mine?" "Sure is." "Oh!" "Thank you, Toby." "Thank you so much." "What's his name?" "Thunderhead." "I'll take really good care of him, Flicka." "You know I will." "She knows." "Let's go, buddy." "Come on." "What a great surprise!" "Yeah, there is more where that came from." "What do you mean?" "You'll see." "Look at our future champs."
