The best show ever for horse-loving preteen girls!, 31 March 2007
10/10
Author: cameron-155 from United States

I LOVED this show when I was little!!! I had the mad 11 year old hots for Josh Brolin. I still have my old poster and my autographed pictures of the whole cast, Josh Brolin and Ty Miller packed away somewhere. (Sigh) they were so dreamy...... And I totally remember the theme song. It didn't have any words, but I could hum it for you!!! I haven't seen it many years, so who knows if it's actually as good as I remember. But here's a neat little bit of trivia. There was a song used in an episode about a little boy in a wheelchair (think it was guest star Brian Bonsall, but I'm not positive). I don't remember the words, but the chorus started with "that's the way it's gonna be, little darling" that was also used in the movie Jerry Maguire. I had always remembered the song from the show, but never heard it again until the movie came out. How's that for useless knowledge!!
