Kimberly Winslow, a self-made and successful advertising entrepreneur, changes her life mid-stream and buys a guest ranch. Suddenly, she is confronted with her own shortfalls.

How can you control 1000 pounds of horseflesh?

By not controlling.
How can you reach across a generation to a troubled teenager?
By not reaching.
How can you accept what is in front of you?
By letting go.

Kim's teenage niece, Emily, has a harrowing experience and her natural joy is threatened.

The ranch cook, Rosie, offers pearls of wisdom, and the wrangler, Sam, weaves horse sense through the lives of those around him. When Kim and Emily learn to dance with horses, their human relationships are deepened.
