If I Could Ride

This movie was such a beautiful movie. There were so many heart warming moments about friendship and never giving up on your dreams. Alexis Arnold did a fantastic job playing Jodie Davis! Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed If I Could Ride's message. The plot is very fascinating and compelling and is cleverly written. The characters are all teenagers that are going through struggles, physically and mentally. The storyline follows a girl with a mobility disability who wishes she could ride horses. Another girl who is an outstanding rider gets hurt and the two girls start a friendship because they are both injured. It asks the question, "Who will step in to cover for the champion rider?" There is more to this movie than a horse competition – the plot left me on the edge of my seat and the emotions of the girls are very relatable, especially for teenagers. The main characters are Jolie (Alexis Arnold), Bridget (Eva Igo) and Coach Jimmy (Tom Vera). Jodie has a back disability and Bridget is a champion rider, coached by Jimmy. They are all entwined in an intricate storyline that is well-planned and intriguing. The sets and locations stay true to the plot, as the action takes place mostly in the stable or the arena. My favorite part is when Jodie becomes strong enough to ride a horse. The look on her face is heartwarming and it's rewarding to see her develop the strength and courage to ride. Sometimes, the lighting and the sound are a bit off and the camerawork is shaky at times, all of which are unsettling. The film's message is that friends and family are extremely important. They'll always be there for you throughout hardships and we see that between Bridget and Jolie. It's also about following your passions, especially when they make you happy. It promotes overcoming challenges and reminds us that we are capable of pursuing our dreams. I give If I Could Ride 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18. By Sydney S., KIDS FIRST!

Inspiring movie about hope, determination and a splash of kindness. Encourages people to never give up on your dreams no matter what your situation is. A very uplifting story with beautiful Vermont scenery to enjoy.

Very nice movie to watch and inspire young adults to become who they really want to be. Be kind and follow your passion. Eva Igo does a wonderful job.

Emotional, inspirational family film. Beautiful horses, amazing scenery, great acting and a powerful story. So many life lessons.

Truly inspirational, heart-warming, and a great watch for the entire family of all ages!

Terrible. Makes Lifetime movies look Oscar worthy.

I absolutely Loved this movie, We watched and enjoyed it with the whole Family. It was so nice to see the characters grow throughout the film plus there is a relatable character for everyone. It made the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up during the final scenes and as the credits rolled we applauded Dr. Cruise and his awesome staff!!

It was touching actually
