Second Chances

Second Chances is a 1998 drama. The film deals with a ten year old girl named Sunny Matthews who suffers from a broken leg, and the loss of her father. The loss of income results in her having to live with her very overprotective mother, and they are also forced to sell their house. This results in them moving into a house that is right next to a ranch owned by a former rough and hard living rodeo star named Ben Taylor. Sunny Matthews’ life changes for the better when she meets two of Ben Taylor’s American Quarter horses by the name of Ben and Ginger. At first Sunny Matthews’ mother is very worried about her riding horses, and that it may result in her suffering from more loss. However, she eventually approves, and Sunny is able to finally get past the mistakes of the past. The film was directed by James Fargo. Sunny Mathews is played by Kelsey Mulrooney, and Ben Taylor is played by Tom Amandes.
