The Rider

Our second horse movie this month, meaning next month ­ kittens.
Based on his a true story, The Rider follows Brady Blackburn, a rising star on the rodeo circuit who is injured after he's thrown from his horse. Warned that his competition days are over, Brady finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: to ride and compete. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America.
Described as "far from a downer" and "simply excellent," The Rider provides inspiration while rooting itself in the hardships of real life.
