American Black Beauty (2005)

In the heart of the American countryside, Cheryl Birtwick, a 16-year-old heiress, finds herself alone and adrift after a sudden twist of fate leaves her orphaned. With nothing but a colossal trust fund and a swarm of lawyers as her companions, she's uprooted from her life of luxury and dispatched to the humble abode of the Lane family. Living on an expansive ranch, patriarch Tim Lane, his daughter-in-law, and grandson are cornerstones of their close-knit farming community, their lives intertwined with the rhythm of the land and their cherished trio of horses. Known for their generosity, they uplift their struggling neighbors, trading crop rights for a mere pittance. Yet, Tim's own financial stability teeters on the edge, and he faces the grim prospect of losing his beloved home unless he can muster up $25,000. Caught in this whirlwind of rural life, Cheryl learns about Tim's dire straits and marshals her resources to help secure the future of her newfound family. Along this journey, she not only overcomes her initial trepidation of horses but also forms an unbreakable bond with one of Tim's cherished equine companions: the majestic Black Beauty. As Cheryl's world intertwines with that of the Lanes, a tale of resilience, love, and the extraordinary power of friendship between a girl and her horse unfolds.
