Movie at the Murphy – Sylvester
Charlie is a tough, determined teenager who is raising her two younger brothers herself – and trying to keep them out of the hands of court-appointed guardians. Her ambition in life is to train horses, and she starts with Sylvester, an unsophisticated Western bucking horse who does not look like the sort of animal you’d expect to see in the Olympic steeplechase trials. With the help of an old cowboy, Charlie takes the rodeo horse to the Olympic trials in Kentucky.
