Editorial Review:
When the mother of 13-year-old Virginia (Letherman) dies in a riding accident, Virginia's father (Byrne) sells the horse and vows neverto let his two daughters ride. Defying him, Virginia nurses the horse's new colt, Stormy, and secretly trains with him at night. But when Stormy is sold, Virginia's sister and a sympathetic trainer (Whalley) must help convince her father that a girl needs free rein to grow.
Description of Virginia's Run:
In the tradition of National Velvet, this Nova Scotia-set family film revolves around a 13-year-old with a passion for horses. Like Elizabeth Taylor’s Velvet, Virginia (Lindze Letherman) even has an older sister, Caroline (Rachel Skarsten). Sadly, her mother was killed in a riding accident three years ago and her father, Ford (Gabriel Byrne), has since forbidden Virginia to ride. Nonetheless, she’s been visiting Twister in secret and is even with her when she gives birth to a foal. Virginia names him Stormy and he takes to her from the start, but to no one else--including owner Blake Raines (Robert Guy Miranda). So Blake sells the horse and Virginia is heartbroken. How is she going to compete in the Memorial Day endurance race? And where does Blake's new trainer, Jessie (Joanne Whalley), fit into the picture? Those questions--and others--will be answered before the end of this heartwarming adventure. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Virginia's Run Reviews:
A poor example of equine reality 
2008-12-01 - Even though this is definitely a children's movie, it lacks the neccessary realistic situations and behaviors that would make this a good movie. I do not recommend that anyone watch this, it is a diservice to anyone who has a passion and or understanding of horses.
The BEST MOVIE I"VE EVER SEEN! 
2008-09-07 - The characters feel like there are actual people. It's the best movie ever! The story was amazing! The acting was excellent!! The dad and the girls really seemed to be a family. The horses were awesome. There were funny parts and sad parts. I loved it! Anyone who loves horses will LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! Buy it, watch it, watch it again!!
I though it wouldnt look about horses, it did and its incredible!!!
2008-01-19 - the cover may be somewhat misleading it is mainly about horses, and the only thing about this movie I dont like is how cruel the guy i think named darrel??? treats his horses he kicks the horse about a million times in one minute at the finish line when no one is comming? and he kicks the horse so hard is goes soo fast that he has to rear back to stop before hitting the crowd! okok so two sisters mother died and the father doesnt want her riding so when darrels fathers mare has a foal the mare dies and the foal was being taking care of by virginia the girl. so then youll just have to find out the rest yourself I dont want to spoil the movie, but I like the part when she trys to drive the truck lol, giggle giggle
The best movie in the world for horz lovas!!!!!!!!!!!
2006-01-18 - This movie is the best movie I have ever seen. I am a big fan of horse racing, and I loved this movie!!! It is all about courage and never giving up. The horses in this movie are fantasticlly trained, I can tell!!!!!! Buy this movie for a horz lova of any age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An awesome film .. towards what really counts in life!
2005-06-21 - This is an wonderful film. Especially, if you want to view people in their horse "click" environment versus why most horse owners love their animals. This is one of the best Horse films made with lots of real life issues and filming. A must see film.
