That Horse Whiskey!

When Lainey fails to get the horse Dad promised her for her birthday, she takes on a job training a stubborn horse at a riding stable down the road. The horse, Whiskey, won’t take a rider for more than a quarter of a mile before turning back to his corral. Besides Whiskey, Lainey gets involved training Ryan, a city boy who knows nothing about horses. Her success with Whiskey will gain her free riding privileges plus something even more important to a young girl.
