A Horse Called Bear Page #4

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.

Otto only went one time

when he was little.

- That's too bad.

- Shortly after Sara had

Ethan her husband left her.

Otto never really did forgive her.

I imagine it was just easier

for her to stay in Seattle.

- Wow that looks like some good bread

mind if I have a slice?

- Help yourself!

- Thanks.

Wow, it's a little sweet, don't you think?

- It's my fault, I'm sorry. (laughing)

- No, no it's fine, I like sweet things.

- That looks pretty good.

- Thanks.

- I like to draw too.

- Really?

I've been drawing since I was six,

kinda relaxes me, know what I mean?

Mind if I see what you've done?

Looks good, you've got talent.

- Really?

- I think so.

You mind if I show you something?

- That'd be great.

- OK Allison, you can do it.

- No I'm afraid.

- [Gwen] It's OK honey,

it's perfectly safe.

I'll be right here.

- I don't want to.

- [Gloria] That's OK sweetie

we'll do it next time, OK?

Thanks Rachel.

- Put your left foot in.

Ready?

There you go.

Say walk on.

- Walk on.

That's right.

(mumbling)

Having fun?

Then we're gonna say halt, you say halt.

- Halt.

- What do you think Allison,

- OK sweetie step right up.

- Good job.

- Good job!

- You good?

- Yeah.

- Good job!

- Hey what are you doing here brats?

- We're here with Miss Gloria.

- [Katelyn] We're taking lessons.

- Yeah I saw you up there, kinda lame.

And I see miss scaredy pants was afraid

to even get on the horse. (laughing)

- Hey leave her alone, you're not nice.

- Ooh, who cares?

- Why are you here?

- My dad works here, not that

it's any of your business.

Oh, and by the way, pretty

soon you won't be able

to ride that horse Bear any more.

- Why not?

- Because my dad just bought him,

and at the end of summer we're moving

and he's coming with us.

(phone ringing)

- Admissions, how may I direct your call?

- Yeah this is Ethan Riley.

I was offered a scholarship

for school next year,

I was wanting to accept that.

- Would you hold the line please?

I'm sorry but when you didn't

respond by the deadline,

we had to give that

scholarship to another student.

- I thought I had two days left.

- Oh my apologies, that

deadline was last Friday.

- Wow, Ethan, like it.

This will look great in my scrapbook.

You're quite the artist.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

So have you followed up any

more on that scholarship?

- No, I don't think I'm interested.

- Oh.

- So, where is my mom's

horse being kept anyway?

- Oh just down the road at

my brother's horse farm.

- Oh.

- You need to talk some

sense into your grandson.

Obviously he doesn't want to listen to me.

- Otto.

- I'm serious, I can't even talk to him!

Just a waste of my breath.
