Make My Saturday Sweet - Blog Hop #39

My favorite movie of all time is…

This story moved me in a way that many movies never did. I was in my teens when it came out in 1991. It was based on the memoir of Sonora Webster Carver called, A Girl and Five Brave Horses. She was a rider of diving horses who later went blind after one of her dives.

Sonora’s story shows the courage of an orphan girl during the Great Depression. She was living with her aunt, who did not love her, and later ran away after being told that she would be sent to the orphanage the following day. She strikes out alone in the world and follows her heart.

Even after she becomes permanently blind from one of her dives, she finds a way to ride again and continues diving with horses for another 11 years.


It’s a truly beautiful story.




We played "The Wedding" by Michael Card
at the signing of the registry.
We got married in a little thatched-roof
church of red brick and stained-glass
windows. It was like a fairy tale!

You can watch and listen on this
YouTube clip.

It didn't turn out like I thought. I was looking at photo's last night and these spoke to me.
Enjoy.
Happy Friday and Sweet Saturday.

I remember watching that movie with my mom, and she cried and cried. I've never been able to watch it since, lol.
Thanks for the heads up on your weekend hop!
My recent post Movie memories and the story of favorites
Wow, never mind the movie, I've never even heard of the sport. I can't even being to image! If you've ever made a bad dive and know how much it hurts, I can't even fathom a dive going bad with a horse attached to you!! I'm definitely curious now - adding this to my watch list. Thanks! [#FTSF]

Hi Chris! Thanks and very true. According to the movie, her eyes were open when she hit the water. I didn't see your FTSF link. I would love to pop in!
