A Cowgirl's Story (2017)

In the heart of America's rodeo landscape, seventeen-year-old Dusty Rhodes, played by Bailee Madison, finds herself relocated to her grandfather's, Pat Boone's, ranch. This sudden move is necessitated by her parents' deployment to the war-ravaged landscapes of Afghanistan, leaving Dusty in an unfamiliar environment. She plunges into a new life at a local high school where she forms an alliance with a diverse group of friends, including Savanah, portrayed by Chloe Lukasiak, a fellow army brat. Their shared circumstances inspire Dusty to rally her friends into creating an equestrian drill team, a spectacle that lights up rodeos and parades with their synchronized horseback performances. But as Dusty's world begins to find rhythm, it's abruptly jolted by the harsh realities of war. A chilling report of her mother's helicopter being shot down leaves her grappling with a profound sense of fear and helplessness. Turning to her grandfather for solace and guidance, Dusty channels her anguish into a remarkable endeavor, a grand riding performance dedicated to her parents and all those serving overseas. The town, united by their shared empathy, turns out in droves to support this heartfelt tribute. This event culminates into an unforgettable experience, etching itself into the annals of their collective memory, resonating with the strength of community spirit and the healing power of shared grief.
