“A Horse Called Bear” is a heartwarming story about forgiveness and applying the Golden Rule: “love others like you would have others love you.”

Ethan has lost his mother and blames himself because they had an argument that day before the accident. He travels to Michigan from Seattle to his grandparents’ house, where he is met with open arms by his grandmother and grumpiness from his grandfather. He also meets Bear, his mother’s horse, and the neighbor children who help him.

This is a faith-friendly movie that teaches important values. We all need to ask forgiveness from God, and God has a plan for us even though we don’t know the direction he’ll lead. The young children in this movie apply the Golden Rule, are kind and pray for someone who is mean spirited, knowing that prayer can turn them around. They also learn that God will forgive; all you have to do is ask. Everyone in the family can learn something from this movie.

We are proud to award the Dove Seal for all ages to “A Horse Called Bear.”
