Flicka: Country Pride

Toby arrives at Cherry Creek Farms to take on the role of stable manager, stepping into a family under financial strain and emotional tension. His presence brings a shift in the barn's mood as everyone assesses his plan to steady the business and protect the family.

Kelly quickly forms a connection with Flicka, the mare, and the bond becomes a lifeline that rekindles her confidence. The horse's companionship helps her find purpose and resilience at the farm.

Stephanie returns to the scene with resentment toward Kelly after the death in Kelly's family. Her presence casts a shadow over interactions at the stables, fueling tension among the teens.

During training, Stephanie's dressage teammate is injured, heightening the rivalry and fear of losing status. The accident raises the stakes for every rider and echoes through the barn.

Kelly earns a coveted spot on the dressage team, drawing Briggs McBride's attention as a potential ally for the season. The shift deepens the competition and sets the stage for a high-stakes contest.

Briggs McBride begins showing more interest in Kelly, and jealousy fuses with ambition as the team steadies itself for a major test. A race is organized where the loser would leave the team for good.

The race unfolds with nerves and relentless effort, testing teamwork and resolve. Tension runs high as competitors push to secure their place on the team and the future of the stables.

Kelly is declared the winner, while Stephanie withdraws from the team, and her friends follow her lead. The dynamics within the group shift as Kelly secures a professional milestone that brightens the barn's prospects.

Toby steps in with calm, practical support, reminding Kelly that her family’s stability depends on the barn's future. He encourages her not to abandon the family and to use the victory to push toward a sustainable plan.

Kelly asks Briggs for guidance and starts assembling a new teen team, drawing together raw talent and limited experience. They set their sights on proving themselves and saving the stables.

The teens train with stubborn resolve as the national competition nears, drawing on Flicka's trust and Kelly's leadership. The long hours and shared effort begin to show in their improving performances.

At the national competition, Stephanie finishes ahead of Kelly, leaving Kelly in second place, but the runner-up prize money saves the stable and keeps Lindy and Toby together. The barn survives the year and a hopeful future glimmers despite the rivalry.
