PLOT:

The captivating real-life story of a girl who dared to live her dream.

Everyone will cheer Walt Disney Pictures' presentation of this captivating real-life story of Sonora Webster's determination and courage. A runaway orphan, young Sonora (Gabrielle Anwar) persists in a menial job mucking stables in Doc Carver's traveling stunt show. Her great wish is to become a death-defying "diving girl," but Doc (Cliff Robertson) refuses her pleas. Undaunted, Sonora's gutsy resolve finally convinces him to give her a break. On the brink of stardom, however, a cruel twist of fate threatens to destroy her dream. With the help of a loving friend, Al Carver (Michael Schoeffling), Sonora proves that if you want something badly enough, anything is possible!

Movie Review:

This is one of those captivating movies, that once you begin watching it - you just can't take your eyes off of it... it is truly beautiful and inspiring!

Young Sonora, finds herself on her own at a young age. Her parents have passed away and an Aunt has taken her in, as well as her little sister. There is a depression going on, though, so money is tight. When her aunt tells her she is giving her over to the state, Sonora runs away and applys to Doc Carver, a showman, to be his new Diving Girl. (this act entails diving a horse off a forty foot tower into a pool of water!) She dreams of going to Atlantic City and living a life of adventure! He doesn't think she has what it takes, mainly beauty, but he must admire her spunk, because he takes pity on her and gives her a job cleaning the horse stalls.

In time, Sonora and Doc's son, Al, grow fond of one another while caring for the horses and breaking a wild horse together, however Al and his father disagree over how to run the business and Al leaves. While he is gone, he writes Sonora nearly everyday, however those letters never reach her, because his father destroys or hides them.

The show goes on, in spite of Al's absense, and Sonora continues to travel on to each new city. When the opportunity arrives, Sonora finally gets her chance to be a "Diving Girl". She has trained for it and it is her dream. She doesn't quite fit into the suit or the role, just yet, but after her first dive- she is elated! Sonora eventually becomes their official Diving Girl.

Al returns where dreams come true, Atlantic City, and life changes again. He and his father make ammends and eventually... Al and Sonora find true love, even through hardship and life's struggles. It's a story of determination and courage. Once you see it, you will never forget it... it's beautiful and captivating - a Disney Gem!

I recall seeing this movie years ago, as a young girl who loves horses. I still find it to be just as moving and inspirational, as it was then!

This Movie is based on a True Story.

Super Saver rides to victory in Kentucky Derby 2010 + New Disney Movie - Secretariat

Congratulations to Owner Bill Casner, Jockey Calvin Borel, and Trainer Todd Pletcher, whose Horse, Super Saver, is the 2010 Kentucky Derby Winner.

Super Saver is an absolutely beautiful horse and it was an amazing race, even if my pick fell back halfway through. Jockey Calvin Borel is amazing and his personal story is so sweet and precious... it would make a heartwarming and triumphant movie. He said he never dreamed he could win 3 Kentucky Derbys... but he proclaims he's going all the way to win the Triple Crown. I, for one, will be cheering him on. We haven't had a triple crown winner since 1978, so it's time!

The Next Race is The Preakness - May 15.

Also, during the pre-race coverage, they promoted a new Disney Horse Movie coming to the theaters in the fall, October 8th, 2010.... titled: Secretariat. It stars Diane Lane as Secretariat's owner Penny Chenery, John Malkovich as trainer Lucien Laurin, Fred Thompson (Republican U.S. Senator from Tennessee), Dylan Walsh, AJ Michalka, James Cromwell, Kevin Connolly, and More...  It looks like a sweet Disney story- here are some photos from the production...
