Ride like a Girl - Netflix
Horse movies speak to my 12-year-old self. This one is very sweet and beautiful to watch. It's based on a true story about Michelle Payne, an Australian jockey, who comes from a large family of horse people. There are 10 siblings and 8 of them became jockeys. Michelle is the youngest and went on to win a very important race.
One thing I especially liked is that her brother Stevie has Down Syndrome, and is played by himself. Sam Neill plays the dad.
Content notes: eating disorders, hospital scenes, injuries including brain injury. Some mild sexual harassment on the job.
