Dreamer: Inspired By a True Story (2005)

In the heartland of Lexington, Kentucky, the once bustling horse barn of the Crane family stands eerily silent, a testament to financial tribulation that has haunted them for years. The story pivots around a spirited mare named Sonya, affectionately known as Soñador - the Spanish word for dreamer. The Crane family's fate intertwines with that of Soñador when she tragically breaks a foreleg during a race. Faced with the harsh reality of her impending euthanasia, Ben Crane, the family patriarch, makes a bold choice to accept the crippled horse instead of the three months' salary owed to him by the ruthless owner, Palmer. The arrival of Soñador at the Crane's farm lights a spark of hope and sets the stage for an emotional journey of healing and renewal. Ben's daughter, Cale, forms a profound connection with the injured mare, her youthful heart echoing with the horse's indomitable spirit. The task of rehabilitating Soñador becomes a therapeutic process, not just for the horse, but also for the fractured bonds within the Crane family. As Soñador's strength gradually returns, the family dares to dream of giving her another shot at the racetrack. This audacious ambition serves as a beacon of hope, potentially saving their property from the looming shadow of foreclosure. In this blend of adversity and resilience, Dreamer weaves a compelling tale where a horse's second chance at racing mirrors a family's fight to restore their lost bond. With the unwavering support of Cale, Ben, and his father, Pop, Soñador may just gallop her way towards a miraculous comeback, and in doing so, restore the Crane family's faith in their dreams.
