Hope's Legacy (2021)

Hope’s Legacy: Directed by Douglas B. Maddox. With Ken Arnold, Jim Benson, Dyan Cannon, Kelly Carrey. Sometimes hope is all you need, but sometimes it can be hard to find. Faced with the death of her beloved grandmother, Lizzy now focuses on the farm, her horses, and three-day eventing. With her upcoming marriage to James threatened and challenged by a beautiful girl from his past, Lizzy must learn to stand on her own two feet but with Legacy by her side she can do it. It’s a competitive world but she’s determined to make it work. Lizzy will need to conquer her bullies and overcome three competitions: show jumping, cross country, and dressage with her young horse, Legacy. Her manager is by her side all the way but her past catches up with her, and Lizzy needs to make a choice to stop it all or go for the gold.

“This film is not an Academy Award winning production and in particular, I found the script had holes and the u0026#39;enemy bad girlu0026#39; was a little too stereotped however there was a lot of memorable themes such as; redemption, finding your place in the world, taking risks, finding u0026#39;your peopleu0026#39;,doing what it takes to move on from the past believe in yourself and others, and manage an effective adult partner relationship. Little improvements and tweaks would have helped elevate it but this DBM film leaves an impressive mark and I will be looking out for more of their productions.”
