Wind Dancer

Wind Dancer Review

This is a good story with a good moral about working hard, and how to be a firm but caring parent. It had horses as a backdrop but wasn't really a horse story per se. The little girl in the story gets injured in a horse accident right away and the story is about her recovery, her dads guilt and her feeling sorry for herself. She is coached by a female therapist who gives her the "tough love" she needs to snap out of her self pity. It is interesting enough to keep the attention of adults and children about 7+ y.o. The best thing about the movie is the opprotunity it gives a parent to discuss having a winning "I can do it" attitude, something my daughter needs to work on. We had some good dialogue after the movie and I referred back to it since then. However, I don't think my daughter will choose to watch it on her own again. It would be a good one to rent too.
