A Horse Called Bear Page #3

Synopsis: After his mother unexpectedly dies, 17-year-old Ethan discovers he is the owner of his mother's horse - a horse he never even knew existed. He travels cross country to live with his grandparents and investigate the mystery. His grandmother is supportive but his angry grandfather Otto doesn't seem to want him around. Next door live three children who are taking riding lessons at the same farm where his mother's horse is boarded. Their lives intersect as Ethan deals with his grief over his mother's death and the children deal with a neighborhood bully whose father works at the horse farm. The journey for Ethan, Otto, the three children, the bully and her father all revolve around a gentle and faithful horse called Bear who deeply touches all their lives. This is a delightful redemption-themed family movie that will appeal to children, teens, horse-lovers and people of all ages.

in the same way we would

want them to love us.

- What about if they're mean to us?

- Jesus wants us to be nice to everyone

even those that are unkind.

It's easy to be nice to

those who treat us well.

He wants us to treat everyone well.

- I don't know if I can always do that.

- Me either.

- Well it isn't always easy.

But try and remember a

Bible verse in John 15:12.

"My command is this, love each

other as I have loved you."

Hey Gwen, how's it going?

- Great, how was your ride?

- Oh, great, great as always.

I just love coming out here each week

and riding my horse.

I could leave all my cares behind.

Bear's looking mighty fine today.

Yeah actually we just sold him,

so at the end of the

summer he'll be leaving.

- Really, who's his new owner?

- One of the trainers here

at the farm just bought him.

So we're gonna miss him.

- Hey Jeff, we were

just talking about you.

Pastor Andy, meet Bear's new owner.

- Congratulations.

- Oh thanks.

Yeah I'm very excited, he's

such a good training horse.

- (sighing) Well I've always admired him.

- Yeah in the fall,

we're moving back to Ohio

be closer with my mom,

she's not doing too well.

I plan to work at a nearby farm,

get some students of my own.

- Well we're really gonna miss you here.

- I'm gonna miss you guys too.

- Well tomorrow's the

first day of riding lessons

for the children.

- They are so excited.

Thank you for organizing it all,

and thank your brother and his wife also.

- Oh I will.

They're earning it anyways.

I mean my flowerbeds are gonna

be weed free this summer.

- That's true.

You know baking like this

reminds me of baking with my mom.

- Oh.

I'm so glad you moved in next door.

I never did get to do much

of this with my daughter.

- A lawyer called earlier today.

Something about a college scholarship.

Ethan.

- Huh?

- [Otto] You need to confirm

that you're going to accept it.

- OK,

thanks.

- Well, you gonna call 'em?

- No, not right now.

- Why not?

This is important!

They said it will cover everything.

- I don't know, I'm

still thinking about it.

- (stammering) What's

there to think about?

- Whatever.

- When I was young I would've

done anything to go to school!

- So how are things with Ethan?

- Aww, I just love him being here,

but things are starting

to get a little tense.

I mean Ethan's still

grieving over his mother,

and Otto just keeps pushing him.

- I'm sorry.

- Here we go, nice and hot.

- Oh it smells delicious.

Yum.

It's really sweet. (laughing)

- A little extra sugar never hurt anyone.

- Tell me more about Sara.

- I'd go out to visit her once a year,

so I did get to see Ethan growing up.
