Trivia:
The horse Sylvester for competition was officially called "Sylvester Stallone" but the filmmakers had to ask the real Sylvester Stallone if they could use his full name. He agreed, but no more than seven times. moreGoofs:

I watched this movie on TV and fell in love with it then. About five years later I bought it and watched it at least 6 more times. The acting must of been good because as a horse rider myself, I could see and understand the feelings that Charlie was going through herself. The only thing that made me rewind the movie back was the part where she caught Sylvester, calmed him down, and after it bit her in the arm you can notice the poor use of cartoon-like footage of the horse running away. Other than that I will always find this movie in my heart every time I think about giving up or when I need some encouragement to ride horses.
