Monica receives a colt from her father for her birthday, but she must keep up her grades in school and be responsible for Champion too. Having a horse takes hard work, as does keeping the promise to take care of him. Monica builds a great relationship with Champion, especially when he breaks horse tradition and talks to her.

Champion and Monica both discover what they want to be when they grow up. Champion decides, after trying many things, that he wants to be a show horse, and with his help Monica realizes she wants to become a veterinarian. Together they have fun as they learn about life and the things that are important.

This is a wonderful story about growing up, being responsible, hard work, friendship and teamwork. “A Horse Story” is a fun movie that all will enjoy. We are proud to award it the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12+ due to some mild language that puts it outside the Dove guidelines for all ages.
