Amy Adler Paige and her father, Jim (Matt McCoy) are quite close after the death of Paige's mother. Although they can not afford a horse, Jim sees that Paige gets to ride and compete in the competitions she loves. One day, Paige falls from her horse at a show and is paralysed from the waist down. More important, she is psychologically so affected that she can not speak or take care of herself. Enter Susan (Mel Harris). She is a no-nonsense therapist who is hired to bring Paige back, maybe even to the point of her being able to walk once more. But, Susan is a tough cookie who Jim describes as a "Ma Barker without the gun." Can Jim let Susan run the show to Paige's recovery? And, will moving Paige to a ranch with horses and animals help her? This is a good movie with outstanding messages. Certainly, horse lovers will embrace the movie as Wind Dancer, the horse, is a beautiful creature with fire and spirit. But, more importantly, this is a good look at the old adage of never give up. Paige is heart broken over her injuries, to the point of retreating from life, until Susan makes her look at things in a different way, with tough love. All of the actors here give fine performances and the ranch setting is also quite welcome to those who will never have the chance to visit one. In short, this is a good family film that has enough action and important messages to please both parents and children. Locating it at the video store or library will translate into an evening of most diverting fare for your loved ones.

escar_95 I like the movie " Wind Dancer " , The young girl Raeanin Simpson is very remarkable ! She play very good this role , probably not easy to play ! The story is original and moving, and particularly realistic ..... And the actor Matt McMacoy is talented !!! The end is pleasant , when the family decide to help other kids to be independent. Horses are beautiful .... Please , someone know what is the sound who was diffuse on this movie ? This is a girl, with a child voice for the chorus .... thanks ! (I'm sorry , but my English is very very bad ! I hope that you understand me ! )

goatgirl-2 Now this movie was ok, considering it had a beautiful horse (Lacy) that played Wind Dancer. But I just have one complaint. They kept switching the horse's gender back and forth. First she was a filly, then it was "Good boy!" And I seem to recall at one time during the movie, a character said "She's been this way ever since she was a COLT." Well, anyway, it was a good movie except for that. The horses are beautiful!

maple-3 This is an excellent movie to watch, because it is about a family,the daughter gets hurt. They go to a ranch,where the girl gets help by learning to do things on her own,without help. She takes care of a horse,and they decided to help other kids to be independent.
