A Film About Passion, Perseverance, and the Fight to Keep Equestrian Dreams Alive

As real estate prices soar and farmlands disappear to sprawling developments, the tradition of horse ownership in New England is facing a quiet crisis. Stables and hayfields give way to luxury homes, and what was once a thriving rural way of life is now accessible only to the wealthy—or to those fiercely committed to preserving it.

This powerful documentary dives into the challenging world of everyday horseback riding, where multi-generational traditions face extinction, and passions collide with harsh realities. This film explores the shifting landscape of horse ownership today: A demanding lifestyle marked by long hours, financial sacrifice, and unwavering dedication. We meet the ardent few—mostly bold determined women—who refuse to let go. For them, horses aren’t a hobby. They are everything. An unbreakable bond between human and animal.

This film is a celebration of the riders redefining what it means to be an equestrian today, balancing modern pressures with an age-old love for the ride. A tribute to the grit, heart, and resilience it takes to live the horse life in a vanishing world. A must-see for anyone who’s ever dreamed of horses—and the people who refuse to give up that dream.
