Amanda spends time at the nearby horse ranch, where the owner, Mr. Canton, allows her to work doing chores. Amanda comes to love Misty, the horse Mr. Canton bought for his daughter to win the next competition. When Misty suffers from an injury, Mr. Canton wants to cut his losses and get rid of Misty, but becomes convinced to give Misty another try. Amanda refuses to give up and shows those around her how much hard work and a big heart can accomplish.

A GIFT HORSE is well made with good acting, a nice story structure, and good cinematography. There are some cheesy sections, like an unrealistically mean girl. However, the movie overall is a sweet, heartwarming story promoting working hard and seeing the best in people. A GIFT HORSE also has some positive Christian elements. Due to some dysfunctional behavior, a light caution is advised for younger children.
