Look, look at that!
Almost 500,000 hits in the few
hours
since we first posted the video.
That's amazing.
I've got emails pouring
in from all over the place.
Heck, I've even got
reservations for next season.
And companies are asking
how they can sponsor the next
video.
Does this mean what I
think this means, Mr. C?
Yes, it worked, you did it.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
Black River Ranch is back
in business. (LAUGHS)
High fives.
Don't leave me hangin', girls.
(GROUP LAUGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
I love these first days of
camp.
You know, there's no campers
around
and it's just us staff girls.
(SIGHS) Me, too.
Lisa, I'm really looking forward
to hanging out with you this
year.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna be a whole new Stacey.
College has really changed me.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, but
I like the old Stacey.
Just try to be the best
you that you can be.
Did you know that I raised
$5,000 for Africa last year?
- Africa?
- Mm-hmm.
It's this huge country.
It's a place where lots and
lots of poor people live.
Yeah, I am aware of Africa,
and it's actually a continent.
But, wow, that is amazing.
I am just expressing admiration
and envy.
How did you raise the money
and what'd you do with it?
Well, my dad donated the first
thousand
and then four of his
friends matched the rest.
Raising money for poor
people is so simple.
You just post it online.
Yeah, I wonder why poor
people don't post online more.
STACEY: I know. (CHUCKLES)
- Go on.
- What?
What did you do with the
$5,000?
I went to Africa.
Stacey, I'm just curious,
how does you going to Africa
help Africa?
(SIGHS) It raises awareness,
Lisa.
When popular and pretty
people, like myself,
go to places like that,
people just tend to notice.
You have no idea how many
likes, comments, and shares
my photos got. (CHUCKLES)
I can only imagine.
Ooh, and did you know that I
joined
Campus Warriors for Social
Justice?
It's so fun!
We made cardboard shelters
and we slept in them the entire
night.
- The entire night, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
I totally understand the
homeless now,
and I only went inside my dorm
room once
and that was just to use the
bathroom
and to charge my iPhone.
- Hey, Stacey?
- Yeah.
You remember when I said, last
summer,
that we could be friends
and even maybe like sisters,
but sometimes it would probably
be better
if we rode in silence?
Yeah, do you wanna do that
again?
- Yes, please.
- 'Kay.
Yeah, we can do that.
(SOFT COUNTRY MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Kimberly, are you sure about
this?
Dad, yes, for the 10th time,
yes.
You could've taken a
lifeguard job at the club
if you wanted to earn some
money.
Come here for a week or so,
then join the real world.
That's not how Horse
Camp works, remember?
I can't believe it.
It's been four years
since you've been here.
(SCOFFS) How'd I get so old so
fast?
You're not that old, Daddy.
And I'm looking forward
to seeing old friends.
It is nice being back in
Michigan.
It's been a long time since I
visited.
Why'd your company
make you leave anyways?
We went over this a
hundred times, beautiful.
I have to go where my job sends
me.
It's not my call.
I'm just a small guy.
I'm not the boss.
I think you're great.
- Well.
- I do.
Thank you, beautiful.
I just want you to work
on your resume, you know?
A good college, a good job,
it'll give you opportunities I
never had.
There's a lot more to Black
River than just horses, Dad.
- You saw that on the website.
- Maybe.
Maybe it's just girls riding
horses.
I don't know.
(SIGHS) Well, here we are.
Listen, Kimbie, things change.
Your old friends, they
just may not be here.
And this may not be
everything you're expecting.
If you want out at any time,
I mean any time, just call.
I think they confiscate
our phones for a reason.
There's no good reason
when you're my daughter
and I miss you.
I'm gonna miss you, too.
Okay, kiddo, you're the boss.
(CHUCKLES) I just work here.
Are you gonna be okay without
me?
Sure, I'm a tough guy,
remember?
Gonna put some flowers on
your mother's monument,
gonna go home, eat some
chocolate,
and watch reruns of "Mister Ed."
That's my version of Horse Camp.
(LAUGHS)
You're such a nut. (CHUCKLES)
This is your last chance,
beautiful.
You say the word and we're outta
here.
I need this, Dad, please?
I'm gonna miss you.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
You need some help?
No, that's okay.
(ENGINE RUMBLING)
Good bye, honey, I love you.
Love you, Daddy.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SLOW MUSIC)
Welcome, Kimberly?
Wow, have you gotten tall
since I saw you last.
Happens to the best of us, Mr.
C.
Where is Miss Jessica?
Miss Jessica is now Mrs.
Jessica.
She got married last year
and moved on with her life,
so she won't be with us this
year.
Oh, she was always so nice to
me.
You see, little ones,
Black River Farm and Ranch
will live within you forever.
This place is your sanctuary.
I love it here, Miss Jessica.
And I love my horse, Lord Byron.
And he loves you, too.
And if you ever come back,
he'll be here for you.
Only if you're here, Miss
Jessica.
I'll never leave Black River.
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- She was the best.
- Yes, she was,
but you're gonna like all
of our new counselors, too.
This is Miss Lisa, our new head
counselor.
Let's grab your bags.
We'll drop 'em in the dining
hall for Jerry to grab
and I'll show you to your
bunkhouse, okay?
Okay.
Let's go.
SAM: Oh, Riley B, right here.
You're kidding, right?
(TENSE MUSIC)
What's wrong?
Well, for one, it
looks like it's infested
with Lyme ticks.
- And two?
- Two?
I've seen jail barracks
that are more accommodating.
Well, I guess we like to
keep things simple around here.
Simple, I get.
This is primitive.
(SCOFFS) Look, Riley,
just try to enjoy yourself
while you're here, okay?
Hey, we have great horses, a
petting zoo.
We even have an opera house.
I hate opera.
Yeah, me, too. (CHUCKLES)
- Dude.
- What?
You're so, so nice.
(CHUCKLES) I didn't always
used to be,
but this place grows on you, you
know?
But now I get to act nicely a
whole lot.
I don't, I'm not a nice girl.
I don't have it in me.
I'll bet you do.
(LIGHT MUSIC)
(ZIPPER WHIZZING)
Are you looking at the horses?
I'm looking at my horse.
Lord Byron, he's still here.
(HORSE WHINNYING)
Come on, let's go show you
your bunk.
Now, you can keep your cell
phone,
but we urge restricted
use here at Black River,
so it's kind of like a sanctuary
and a peaceful place away
from all the craziness
in the outside world.
- You have no idea...
- Hey, girls.
How much I want that, Miss
Lisa.
Hey, ladies.
Oh, that's nice.
Wait, where's the old opera
house?
It's behind us, on the other
side of the general store.
Why do I remember it
being near the dining hall?
I don't know, but I promise
you we did not move it.
Whoa.
Wait, was this always here?
No, this bunkhouse was built
last year.
Oh.
Things aren't always gonna be
the way
that you remember them.
Should I walk you in?
No, that's okay.
I already know all the girls.
LISA: Are you sure?
KIMBERLY: Of course, okay,
thanks.
LISA: Okay.
(DOOR SQUEAKS)
(HORSE WHINNYING)
SARA: Riley B, I'll
take those car keys now.
You can keep your phone.
No way, my wheels are my
freedom.
No go on the key thing.
It's the rules, B.
Or you're horse history, get it?
Just do it, Ry.
I had to give up mine, too.
Look, the keys are
kept in Mr. C's office.
They'll be safe there.
And should you find that Horse
Camp isn't to your liking,
they'll be there for you
when you're ready to go.
Come on.
(KEYS JINGLING)
Thank you.
Ry!
(AWKWARD MUSIC)
Taylor, Georgie, Macey.
Who the heck are you?
It's me, Kimberly.
- Who?
- Kimberly.
Yeah, I heard you.
- I have no idea who you are.
- Kimberly.
So that's three times now
that you've said your name.
Still nothing.
We were best friends five
summers ago.
Oh, well, okay, welcome back.
I think I sort of remember
you.
Okay, whatever.
So here's the 411, I'm only
here because my dad knows Mr. C,
and thinks I need to be more
spiritual and less snotty.
(SCOFFS) I don't think this is
gonna work,
but he promised to buy me a
Porsche
if I lasted the summer, so.
What are we doing this summer?
At least we get to keep
our cell phones this summer.
Right?
Let's go take selfies
on the Wishing Bridge.
(GIRLS FAINTLY CHATTERING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SOFT MUSIC)
Wow, she changed.
SARA: Just be patient with
her, Kim.
We're all made of imperfect
clay.
Yeah, I still remember what
Miss Jessica always told us.
What's that?
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)
The most important thing in
the world,
next to love, is kindness.
If you can help someone else out
without any expectation of
reward,
you've become someone magical.
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CHUCKLES) Ain't that the
truth.
I just wish more people
practiced that.
Don't worry about it, I'm new
too,
so wanna go look at the horses?
- Sure.
- Cool, let's go.
- Bye, girls.
- Bye.
(SOFT MUSIC)
A man should be an oak
of strength and discipline.
Exercise in the morning, hard
work at night, and prayer.
Hardworking all day and prayer
at night.
(HAMMER THUDDING)
The... (ROCKS CRUNCHING)
I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to sneak up on you like that.
No, it's okay.
(STAMMERING) I've been mumbling.
I've been listening to a
self-help...
Can I help you?
(LAUGHS) Yes, I'm looking
for the head riding instructor.
- Her name's Stacey, I think.
- Yeah, that's her.
(SCOFFS) That's our Stacey.
Fine rider, good rider.
She's (SIGHS) excellent rider.
So maybe you could point
me in the right direction?
Even better, I'll take you to
her.
Right straight, I (LAUGHS)...
- Miss?
- Bonnie Lightyear.
Beautiful name.
Right this way.
Oh, I'm Jerry, by the way.
Oh, my goodness, I got
this hammer in my hand.
Pleasure to meet you, Jerry.
And it's Bonnie.
Just plain old Bonnie, nothing
special.
All evidence to the contrary.
(CHUCKLES) Well, aren't you
the charmer.
I heard that in the tapes.
I'm sorry, you heard what in
the tapes?
The all evidence to the
contrary line that I...
(LAUGHS) Oh, well, I won't
tell anyone.
I still have this hammer in my
hand.
Mm-hmm, yes, you do, Jerry.
- I'll put it down here.
- Okay.
- It should be okay here.
- Yeah.
- I'll put it down here.
- Okay.
- It should be okay here.
- Yeah, I think.
I think so.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SOFT MUSIC)
Another summer, old boy.
I should've been head counselor
this year and not Lisa.
It's not fair.
Hi, there.
RILEY: Hi, he's so pretty.
He's a champion.
In his day, Baron won more
than just a few shows.
He's mine and I belong to him.
Do you wanna brush him?
- Really?
- Yeah.
RILEY: You're really nice.
Oh, you should see me ride.
RILEY: I bet you're really
good.
Good?
I'm the best.
I am the best rider that
Black River ever produced.
Everyone says so.
RILEY: I'd love to watch you
ride.
I would look forward
to that, too, young lady.
I hear you have potential.
Potential, excuse me, who are
you?
- I'm Bonnie Lightyear.
- The Bonnie Lightyear?
Good, you've heard of me.
That should make things much,
much easier.
I mean, I did win National
Championships '94, '95, '98.
Well, Ms. Lightyear,
welcome to the 21st century.
You must be Stacey.
Mr. C did tell me you were
the head riding instructor
last year.
(AWKWARD MUSIC)
Don't see me as someone
trying to take your job
because I'm here for one
year and one year only.
Actually, if I were you, I'd
look at it
as an opportunity to learn.
But I'm the head rider.
Not this year, sweetheart.
Not this year.
So I was told to check in with
you,
you'd tend to my horse,
and show me my quarters.
- But...
- Oh, and by the way,
Mr. Feathers here, he's a very
good judge of human nature,
- and he only likes nice people.
- But.
- But...
- Stacey, you'll be
our head riding instructor
again next year,
but this year is an excellent
opportunity
for you and the other girls to
learn
from a really top-end
horsewoman.
- But...
- Have you seen
their videos online?
They're really remarkable.
(SILLY MUSIC)
She's really quite amazing,
isn't she?
But...
Yeah.
That lady sure is nice.
She sure is.
I better get my hammer.

- Hello, everyone.
- Hi.
If I can have your
attention really quick,
I just wanna say a few words.
First off, I would like to
welcome back
our old friends once again.
- Whoa!
- Welcome home!
(CAMPERS CHEERING)
(CAMPERS APPLAUDING)
And, secondly, I'd like
to welcome our new arrivals.
Ladies, if this is your
first year, please stand up.
(CAMPERS CHEERING)
(CAMPERS APPLAUDING)
And, lastly, I would
like to remind you all
that this place is for you.
(SLOW TENDER MUSIC)
It's not for us, the counselors.
It's not for the people who run
the ranch.
We can thank Jerry and Mr. C for
that.
I'd like to say a few words
that my head counselor,
Miss Jessica, used to say
on our first days of camp.
BR Horse Camp is kind of
like a place called Oz.
It is a place of.
COUNSELORS: Safety, learning,
and fun.
Not only for you, but
for the horses, as well.
Most importantly, through
all the fun and the riding,
it is a place of learning.
Not like in school or in
classrooms,
but more like life lessons.
Lessons that you will carry with
you
for the rest of your lives.
I create every program at
BR with that goal in mind.
We wanna create a kind
of paradise. (CHUCKLES)
And I hope that, at
the end of this summer,
you take away with you
the invaluable lesson
and gift of friendship.
Welcome, all.
(CAMPERS CHEERING)
Everyone, have a great time.
And, tomorrow, we'll ride!
(CAMPERS CHEERING)
(CAMPERS APPLAUDING)
- Woo-ooh!
- Woo!
(VEHICLES WHOOSHING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Now, is the time for
the first announcements.
It will be Lisa's first time
doing it.
I should've given her notes.
She's been watching you
for several years, Jess.
I'm sure she's got it handled.
I hope she doesn't
change any of the rules.
There are reasons behind
all of my rules, you know?
Yep.
People can get hurt around
horses, Dave.
I rode bulls and bareback
broncos for seven years, Jess.
I know the dangers.
Oh, my goodness, bareback
riding?
We don't allow any bareback
riding at the yard.
It's so dangerous.
I hope Lisa hasn't convinced Mr.
C
to change his mind about it.
It's a very safe camp, dear.
I'm sorry.
What about your job?
Doing anything important?
Oh, you know, just busy
protecting the whole county.
- Nothing big.
- Good.
Oh, no, Dave!
Dave, tonight's the Ice Cream
Social.
What if Lisa didn't order
any of the sprinkles?
It would be ruined.

What you thinkin' about?
About the last time I was
here.
- Has it changed that much?
- Kinda.
You know, it changes every
year.
And we want it to always stay
the same,
but sometimes the changes
we're resistant to most
are actually for the better.
A lot of my old friends aren't
here.
Well, four years is a long
time,
but you'll make new friends.
And the ones that are here,
they've more or less forgotten
about me.
Give it time.
There's a lot of summer left.
Can I make a confession?
This is all new to me, too.
I mean, this is my first
year as head counselor
and it's a lot of
responsibility,
and it's honestly not that fun.
I'm sure you're gonna do a
great job.
Thank you.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(HORSE NEIGHING)
This is so boring.
Seriously, an entire summer
with no boys, no wheels,
and bad wifi? (SCOFFS)
Maybe it's fun for you girls,
but I'm a little more exciting
than that.
Hey, who wants to take a
joyride into town with me?
We're not allowed to leave the
camp.
We're gonna get in trouble.
(SCOFFS) Lame.
I'm gonna go by myself.
Don't wait up.

I am so outta here.
Can't take it, Riley B?
What do you mean?
You are bailing.
I'm not bailing, I'm bored.
No, you are bailing.
You came here with an attitude
and you don't have the horse
sense to stick with it.
You don't know anything about
me.
You don't think I
know anything about you?
I know everything about you.
Really, how?
Because I am you.
I'm spoiled and nobody likes me.
I used to have a ton of
girls that would follow me,
but they only followed me
because they were scared of me.
They were scared that I
would destroy them socially
if they ever crossed me.
I'm stuck-up.
I think I'm Queen of the Hill.
I'm too good for everything
here.
Well, I'm not that bad.
Oh, sure you are.
You haven't even been
on a horse this year.
(CHUCKLES) I just really
haven't felt like it yet.
I remember you from last year.
You're the girl that's
too afraid to ride horses.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Okay, prove it.
Take one ride from Bonnie today
and after a ride or two,
if you're still bored,
I will give you the keys myself.
That's a dare, right?
Yeah, you betcha.
I'm daring you.
You up to it?
Up to it?
(SNICKERS) I welcome it.
(SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I'm ready to ride.
You ever trotted on
a horse before, honey?
No, it can't be that hard.
All right, go ahead.
Give it a little try.
(ANXIOUS MUSIC)
Piece of cake.
AMBER: It's not as easy as it
looks.
Just get me on the
saddle, then I'll be okay.
Okay.
All right, now hold the
reins loosely in your hands.
Been on a horse before, you
know?
Well, sweetie, I teach
from the ground up.
We have a lotta work today.
But first thing's first,
you need to lose your fear.
Now, go ahead, give him a little
kick.
(CAMPERS CHEERING)
(CAMPERS APPLAUDING)
- Go, Riley!
- Go, Riley!

(CAMPERS FAINTLY CHEERING)
(HORSE WHINNYING)
STACEY: Miss Lightyear?
Stacey, what's on your mind?
Well, Riley cantered
for the first time today.
And I thought if she's brave
enough
to do something that scares her,
then maybe I'm brave enough to
say this,
I don't want to be the
best rider at Black River.
I want to be the best rider
everywhere.
Well, looks like we better get
started.
- How 'bout right now?
- (CHUCKLES) Stacey.
(SIGHS) When is the last time
you rode just for the fun of it?
What does that mean?
Exactly what I just said.
Don't you remember a time
where you didn't care
about being the best?
You just rode because you loved
to ride?
You and your horse free in the
fields?
That's the love I want you
to find again, all right?
Okay.
Go get yourself a horse and go
ride.
You got it.

10 years.
Don't tell me what I know.

I'd really appreciate
it if you could just
tone down the yelling this year.
Ha!
Gwen, I'm the head counselor
this year.
(SCOFFS) Head counselor?
There's a new one of you every
year.
I have not called seconds.
And why are you in my kitchen?
Gwen, this is the camp's
kitchen.

camp's kitchen.
This is my kitchen.
Seconds!

- Mr. C!
It's so good to see you.

- Dave?
- Mike.
Thank you.
Well, what are you two
newlyweds doing here?
Aren't you off doing your
marriage thing?
Oh, well, we have been.
You know, we're building
the house and talking kids.
- You know, we've been busy.
- Excellent.
(JESSICA GIGGLES)
(SOFT MUSIC)
(LIPS SMACKING)
We have a favor to ask.
Anything for the legendary
Miss Jessica.
Oh, stop, flattery
will get you everywhere.
Well, so here's the deal.
Her kindergarten job has
her only working part time.
It's in the mornings from eight
to noon.
And the rest of the day...
The rest of the time,
I'm driving Dave crazy.
I didn't say that.
What we came here to ask was,
can she help you guys out here
part time?
JESSICA: Kind of like old
times.
Well, of course.
You know we can always use
extra help around here.
(JESSICA SQUEALS)
All right, great, then it's
settled.
Now, oh, where's Lisa?
We have a lot of work to do
to make sure this summer runs
smoothly.
Jessica, you know, Lisa is
very capable.
I think she has things
pretty much under control.
Well, yeah, of course, she
does.
Lisa's great.
I'm just gonna make a very few
adjustments here and there.
A couple of changes to make
sure we stay on course.
Thanks, Mr. C. (SQUEALS)
That's gonna be an issue,
isn't it?
Yes, it is.
And she is driving me crazy.
Don't even think about changing
your mind.
(AWKWARD MUSIC)
(HORSE WHINNYING)
(LIGHT MUSIC)
LISA: She's fantastic.
She's a star and so humble.
So why don't you go talk to
her.
(JERRY STAMMERING)
Jerry, how come you never got
married?
I was married for 22 years.
Wait, (CHUCKLES) what?
Only girl I ever kissed.
We met in middle school.
I lost her to cancer 14 years
ago.
Jerry, I'm so sorry.
Oh, no, it's okay.
It's all right.
You just never said anything.
Ah, it's not a subject I'm
fond of.
I told, Mike, Mr. C, when he
hired me,
but we haven't discussed it
since.
And you haven't dated
or anything since then.
(SCOFFS) No.
Well, it's been...
I think Emma would understand.
And you now have your eye on
Bonnie.
Who wouldn't?
But I don't know. (SCOFFS)
What would I even say to her?
Just tell her about
things that you like.
I believe in you.

LISA: Hey, Sam.
Hey, Lisa.
Can I take a look at your food
budget
and the expenses for the area?
Also, I'll take your vet
reports for small animals.
Yeah, of course.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
Appreciate it.
(JESSICA GASPS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- Hello, Miss Lisa.
- Hey, Jessica.
What are you doing here?
Oh, well, wait.
We'll work on that.
I say, "Hello, Miss Lisa,"
and you say, "Hello, Miss
Jessica."
Yeah.
(JESSICA GIGGLES)
We're not really doing that this
year.
- It's...
- Oh, wait, oh!
No cell phones, I'll take that.
You and I are gonna have
to really watch these girls
this year, Lisa.
They're gonna wanna try to take
advantage of you. (CHUCKLES)
So many things to do.
I have to make sure everything
is up and running smoothly.
Onto the next area. (GIGGLES)
Oh, (CHUCKLES) there's a fence.
What the heck was that?
I think that was Miss Jessica.
Thank you, Sam.
- That was very helpful.
- Mm-hmm.

Looks like Macey's getting

Yeah, it looks like.
I think our Mr. Jerry might be
smitten.
Yeah, he's got the goo-goo
eyes going.
- Too bad.
- Why?
He's so shy, he's never
gonna do anything about it.
Maybe we can help out.
That's not a bad idea, Kimbie.
(CHUCKLES) You remember my
nickname.
So how are the Wonder Twins
gonna get these two together?
Let's get to it.
BOTH: Wonder Twins ignite.
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
So what's it like being
married?
Yeah, must be romantic, right?
Everything is fantastic.
Dave, that's Sheriff Dave to you
all,
Dave and I went to Orlando,
and he made me promise not to
tell,
but he wore mouse ears
with me all weekend.
Aww, he is so cute.
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
- He is so cute.
- That's so cute.
Oh, hey, what's going on here?
Staff meeting. (GIGGLES)
Okay, sure.
- All right.
- Great.
So I've been going through
all of your changes.
You've been very ambitious.
(CHUCKLES)
Some of them are, well,
you know, interesting.
Others, I just don't think we
can do.
- For example...
- Yeah.
I'm just gonna pause you
right there for a moment.
Girls, this meeting is over.
So, Jessica, I need to talk to
you outside
and you guys can go back to your
stations.
Thank you.
That means now.
Jessica, I love you.
Aww, I love you, too, Lisa.
Yes, but you are welcome
back here part time
as a junior counselor.
My changes are my changes.
As long as you stay with
my schedule and my budget,
I would love to have you here,
but it's a yes or a no.
A junior counselor after
all I've done for Black River.
Lisa's the senior
counselor this year, babe.
You gotta respect that.
Whose side are you on?
(DAVE HUFFS)
Yours, you're 100% right,
she's wrong.
Would you like me to call her a
name now?
No, don't you dare.
Lisa is pure and good
and, oh, my goodness.
She was right, wasn't she?
I went right in there
and I disrespected her in
front of her entire staff.
In front of her staff, Dave.
I am a horrible person.
No, no, you're not.
Are you sure?
I'm positive.
(SLOW MUSIC)
How'd you get to be so smart?
I listen to you for two years
and I learn what you want me to
say.
That was a good plan.
I think so, junior.

Okay, let's start by having
Jerry give her a flower.
Then, he'll tell her that
she looks pretty today.
And that he had to talk to
her.
And if he didn't, he'd be
upset with himself all day.
So romantic.
And he wants to know about
her.
The real her, more than just her
looks.
Do you really think Jerry
can remember all of that?
Of course, he can.
It's not that hard to talk to
girls.
(HORSE NEIGHING)
- Hi, Jerry.
- Oh!
Hi, Miss Lightyear.
Just Bonnie.
(SOFT MUSIC)
Right, Bonnie.
I'm Jerry.
Yes, (GIGGLES) I remember.
Well. (STAMMERING)
(PAPER RUSTLING)
I need a break, you
wanna take a ride with me?
- On a horse?
- Yes, (LAUGHS) on a horse.
I've never been on a horse.
You've never?
How many years have you
worked at a horse camp?
10 years, 11 years.
Well, then I say it's about

I like chicken.

go get yourself a horse

You talk, I'll listen.

Not that well.
She eats lunch by herself.
She walks around camp by herself
mostly.
I've seen this sort of thing
before.
- Would you mind if I...
- Jess,
I'm sorry if I was harsh
earlier.
(SCOFFS) No, no, it was my

It really was.
If you can help Zoey
have a great summer,
I would really appreciate it,
Jess.
Go ahead, thank you.
No, thank you.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(TENSE MUSIC)
She walks around camp without
any friends.
And I looked into it and...
Honey, look, I don't mean to
be short,
but I've got a hundred
things to do for work today.
Look, you and Lisa are amazing.
I'm sure you will figure out
a way to help this girl out.
- Zoey.
- Fine.
And I think I have a plan to

Well, see, there you go.
I want you to mentor her.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- What?
- Yeah.
No, no, no.
Look, Black River is a fantastic
place,
but it's your place.
I mean, you're the one that
wanted to work part time there.
You know, this is your thing.
Her father was a Detroit
firefighter.
She lost him this year.
You're so good with horses
and I think she might
respond better to a man.
Especially, a man in uniform.
Okay.

No, I mean about Bonnie and
Jerry.
- Oh.
- Seriously, they've gone
on five walks together,
eat lunch together,
but he won't even hold her hand.
He's so shy.
I have an idea.
I liked a boy once,
but my sister stole him and
it just made me so angry.
So what's your idea?
Come on.
(GIRLS CHUCKLING)
(MISCHIEVOUS MUSIC)
Girls, Jerry's love life
is none of your business.
It's none of my business.
I don't even think I should
be saying the words love life
in front of you girls.
We're 16 years old, Mr. C.
And Jerry is a grown man.
If he wants to ask a woman out
on a date,
I'm sure he can do it on his
own.
He really can't.
I want his brother's phone
number.
If I can call him, then
our plan will work.

- Just look at the situation
for yourself, Mr. C.

You're doing great, Stacey!
I'm not taking lessons from
you, Amber.
Baron wants you to use
the left lead, Stacey.
Don't fight him.
Become one with your horse.
When his feet touch down,
it should feel like your
feet are touching the earth.
When his lungs fill, you
should feel the oxygen.
Good, now, listen to me.
This is gonna be new and scary
for ya,
but I want you to loosen up on
the reins.
Soon, you're going to drop them
entirely
and ride without them.
Your body and mind will jell
with his.
You will think a command
and your horse will move.
- Hey.
- Hey.
First year blues?
No, I'm okay.
I just have a hard time
making friends sometimes.
Yeah, it's definitely not easy
coming in
as a first-time camper.
I remember when I was 16 and
we had a brand new girl, Kathy.
And, unfortunately, I wasn't
very nice to her at first.
Why not?
I wanted to be popular.
So you were just mean to her
all summer
so you could be popular?
Well, no, she ended
up being super popular
and, as you could guess,
I started being really nice to her.
Wait, so you were mean to
her so you could become popular
and then you were nice to
her after she became popular?
I'm sorry, that's just really
shallow.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
And (SIGHS) it gets worse.
How?
Well, when Kathy became
the brand new Queen B,
we all started being
really mean to Stacey.
You mean Miss Stacey,
like the really good rider?
Yeah, that's the one.
And I'm not saying I'm proud it.
What I am trying to
say is, with some time,
we all became really good
friends
and maybe that'll happen for
you.
Thanks, think I really
needed to hear that.
- Yeah.
- I really am okay, though.
Okay, all right, I just
wanted to check on you.
Thank you.

night.
- At night, but that's...
- Dangerous? (CHUCKLES)
Only if you don't trust your
horse.
You think it's dangerous
because you can't see as well.
See, you're still thinking
with your human senses.
Become one with your horse.
Horses run on their own
at night all the time.
If you can live through
your horse, Stacey,
you can ride at night.

also quite the charmer.
Huh?
How's your first month
on Horse Camp been, Bonnie?
So far, I'd say rather
outstanding.
You two know each other?
We just met.
Getting along well, though.
Indeed.
I was just telling Bonnie,
here,
how I'm the head handyman
and groundskeeper
at the golf course here in town.
Bit more money in it
than the head handyman
at the Black River.
But that isn't important, is it,
Jerry?
Not to me, Larry.
(GIGGLES) You can definitely
tell
the two of you are brothers.
I don't like this.
She's funny and beautiful and
kind,
and I saw her first!
- So you fancy her, then?
- Yes, I do.
- You do?
- Yes, I do.
I like you very much!
Why are you yelling?
Larry got me upset.
Hey, I got a phone call
from some of the campers.
They thought you needed a good
kick in the seat, brother.

See, I started riding
when I was real young.
(TENDER MUSIC)
One time, we had this old mule.
I was ridin' on him.
I couldn't have weighed
more than 50 pounds.
He decided he wanted to ride
right into the center of town.
There was nothing I could
do about it, except hold on.
(BOTH GIGGLING)
And, you know, it's a small town
and everybody's used to
seeing horses, but not mules.
That guy was so smart.
You know what he did?
He walked right up to the
grocery store
and he stood there in front
of the door until they opened.
As soon as they opened
the doors, in he walked.
- Really?
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
There was nothing I could do,
except duck.
I'm sitting there with my
little feet kickin' him
and yellin', "Whoa," and
pullin' on the reins,
tryin' to get him to stop,
but that guy was too smart, man.
He walked right up to the
produce section,
started eatin' all the carrots.
(LAUGHS) You're funny.
It's a true story, kid.
- You ready to go?
- Yep.
You ready, Mark?

(PAPER RUSTLING)
Dear Bonnie, I wanted to thank
you
for helping me this summer.
I've been on six night rides so
far
and I know that I'm growing
in my horse skills every day
because of your teachings.
I didn't even know that it was
possible
to ride without reins, but I'm
doing it.
(TENDER MUSIC)
At first, I did not want you
here.
I knew you were a better rider
than I am
and I was jealous of you,
but I'm really glad that you
came.
You've taught me so much and
I just wanted to let you know
how very much it means to me.
So thank you.
Thank you, Stacey.
That was really nice to hear.
You're welcome.
- Stacey?
- Yeah?
You know, when we first met,
I was jealous of you, too.
Because of my youth and good
looks?
You reminded me of me.
I was always the best rider.
Every camp, every show, every
competition,
always the best rider.
I was always the prettiest.
And I was meaner than a snake.
I spent years hurting
other girl's feelings
and I actually enjoyed it.
So, yeah, when we first
met, I was jealous.
I was jealous because you still
have time to change, Stacey.
Thank you for this.
Thank you.
(STACEY SNIFFLES)
- Uncle Dave?
- Yeah?
Do you believe in heaven?
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I don't know.
I think so.
I mean, I'd like to think
that all the people we've lost
are looking down on us, you
know?
And a lot of people with
the near-death experiences
that say they see a bright light
and feel real peaceful, really
happy,
you know, maybe that's heaven.
Do you think there'll be
horses there?
- Absolutely.
- Will my father be there?
Sweetie, all firemen go to
heaven.
That, I'm sure of.

people forgot about you.
(HEARTFELT MUSIC)
It did.
But you hung in there
and didn't quit on me,
and I wanna say thank you for
that
because BR needs you and I need
you.
And you may not ride at Bonnie's
level,
but, technically, no one
in the world actually does.
But you are an excellent
horsewoman.
Thank you.
And you're even better now.
I mean, Bonnie's gonna leave us
and you're gonna be our
head riding instructor
again next summer.
And you are really good.
That means a lot to me.
Thank you.
And I have to admit,
I was a little nervous
about your abilities
to be a cabin counselor
in the beginning of the summer.
But you were pretty good.
Was I the best cabin
counselor that you had?
You were pretty good.
I think head riding instructor's
gonna be the best spot
for you next summer,
but you were better than I
expected.
Lisa, Mr. C made the right
choice.
You're the best person for head
counselor.
I couldn't have done it
and none of the other
girls could've either.
Thank you, Stacey.
Do you remember at the
beginning of the summer
when you asked me if any
of the projects I worked on
actually helped anyone?
Flying first class to
Africa is not charity, Stacey.
I'm not going to fly coach,
Lisa.
Have you seen it back there?
- It's barbaric.
- Mm-hmm, Stacey.
Okay, but I was thinking,
if you'll have me,
I'd really like to work
on one of your projects,
like an actual charity.
Well, if you actually mean
that,
then I would love to have you.
(GIGGLES) Okay, we should go
shopping.
We could wear matching outfits.
I will pick them out just
because I have the better style,
but I'll do you a favor.
We'll buy blue
because blue is gonna
really compliment your eyes.
But I think I should pick you up
because I do need to valet,
and I don't know what
kind of car you have.
I can't be seen in rust.
Do you wanna get lunch?
I know this is new to you.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(HORSES BRAYING)
Wow, Jerry, you really outdid
yourself.
I did?
Yeah, you sure did.
I mean, look at this.
Yeah, I did.
(BONNIE CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS) This is really nice,
isn't it?
It is, it is.
Look.
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
Thank you, this is so great.
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
It's great because you're here
with me.
(GIRLS GASPING)
(GIRLS SOFTLY LAUGHING)
Did you hear something?
No, me?
- Look, chicken.
- Yes.
I think I remember you saying
you like chicken, Jerry.
I do, I like chicken.
I think I like you more.
More than chicken?
Even more than chicken.
(LIPS SMACKING)
See?
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
Come on.
(GIRLS SNICKERING)
Hurry.
(LEAVES RUSTLING)
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
Mission accomplished, ladies.
I could get used to this
whole matchmaking thing.
It was an amazing team effort.
I wonder if anyone will
ever love us like that.
Of course, somebody will.
He'll be handsome.
But not cocky.
And a perfect smile.
And a castle.
Or maybe just a really
nice house on a lake.
And he'll be older, like
really old.
Like maybe even 20.

(CHUCKLES) I cannot
express how pleased I am
with all of you, and I mean all
of you.
Our theme this year was
"The Kindness Quest"
and it was a overwhelming
success
and it's entirely due to all of
you.
I know it may seem that what
we did here at BR this summer
may have only impacted us.
But, please, take these
lessons you learned here
at Black River Farm and Ranch
and share them with the world.
I know we all love horses.
But at its core, BR is not about
horses.
We build strong female
leaders, women of confidence,
who spread kindness into the
world.
And I wanna say thank you
to my friend, Miss Jessica.
You have taught me so much each
and every summer of my life
and I wouldn't be the woman
that I am today without you.
Oh, thank you, Lisa.
(CAMPERS GIGGLING)
You are all very special to
me.
And from what I can see,
you all learned something about
being nice to one another.
So, please, when you go
back into the real world,
take the gift of BR with you
and spread that magic into the
world.
And I know I'm probably taking a
risk,
but I was hoping my good friend
Miss Stacey has something
that she can add to this.
So, if you would, please
give a round of applause
to next year's head riding
instructor, Miss Stacey?
(CAMPERS APPLAUDING)
- Woo-woo-woo!
- Woo-woo!
Thank you.
Wow, that's gonna be a
really hard speech to follow
after Miss Lisa's act.
(CAMPERS LAUGHING)
(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)
But I only have this to say,
I've been at BR for quite a few
years now
and this is the first year
that my eyes were opened
to, well, to myself.
I was always Queen of the Hill
and I never cared about
what anybody else thought.
Even when I went to Africa
to help feed the poor,
it was just an outward,
kind of, play acting.
I just wanted to show
the world how cool I was.
But it wasn't real kindness
because it didn't come from the
heart.
True kindness is when you give
and you expect nothing in
return.
And I think I finally understand
that now
thanks to my good friend, Miss
Lisa,
and to my new friends
to whom I owe so much.
I love you all.
Aww, I love you.

Almost 500,000 hits in the few

since we first posted the video.
That's amazing.
I've got emails pouring
in from all over the place.
Heck, I've even got
reservations for next season.
And companies are asking
how they can sponsor the next
video.
Does this mean what I
think this means, Mr. C?
Yes, it worked, you did it.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
Black River Ranch is back
in business. (LAUGHS)

Don't leave me hangin', girls.
(GROUP LAUGHS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
I love these first days of
camp.
You know, there's no campers
around
and it's just us staff girls.
(SIGHS) Me, too.
Lisa, I'm really looking forward
to hanging out with you this
year.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna be a whole new Stacey.
College has really changed me.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, but
I like the old Stacey.
Just try to be the best
you that you can be.
Did you know that I raised
$5,000 for Africa last year?
- Africa?
- Mm-hmm.
It's this huge country.
It's a place where lots and
lots of poor people live.
Yeah, I am aware of Africa,
and it's actually a continent.
But, wow, that is amazing.
I am just expressing admiration
and envy.
How did you raise the money
and what'd you do with it?
Well, my dad donated the first
thousand
and then four of his
friends matched the rest.
Raising money for poor
people is so simple.
You just post it online.
Yeah, I wonder why poor
people don't post online more.
STACEY: I know. (CHUCKLES)
- Go on.
- What?
What did you do with the
$5,000?
I went to Africa.
Stacey, I'm just curious,
how does you going to Africa
help Africa?
(SIGHS) It raises awareness,
Lisa.
When popular and pretty
people, like myself,
go to places like that,
people just tend to notice.
You have no idea how many
likes, comments, and shares
my photos got. (CHUCKLES)
I can only imagine.
Ooh, and did you know that I
joined
Campus Warriors for Social
Justice?
It's so fun!
We made cardboard shelters
and we slept in them the entire
night.
- The entire night, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
I totally understand the
homeless now,
and I only went inside my dorm
room once
and that was just to use the
bathroom
and to charge my iPhone.
- Hey, Stacey?
- Yeah.
You remember when I said, last
summer,
that we could be friends
and even maybe like sisters,
but sometimes it would probably
be better
if we rode in silence?
Yeah, do you wanna do that
again?
- Yes, please.
- 'Kay.
Yeah, we can do that.
(SOFT COUNTRY MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Kimberly, are you sure about
this?
Dad, yes, for the 10th time,
yes.
You could've taken a
lifeguard job at the club
if you wanted to earn some
money.
Come here for a week or so,
then join the real world.
That's not how Horse
Camp works, remember?
I can't believe it.
It's been four years
since you've been here.
(SCOFFS) How'd I get so old so
fast?
You're not that old, Daddy.
And I'm looking forward
to seeing old friends.
It is nice being back in
Michigan.
It's been a long time since I
visited.
Why'd your company
make you leave anyways?
We went over this a
hundred times, beautiful.
I have to go where my job sends
me.
It's not my call.
I'm just a small guy.
I'm not the boss.
I think you're great.
- Well.
- I do.
Thank you, beautiful.
I just want you to work
on your resume, you know?
A good college, a good job,
it'll give you opportunities I
never had.
There's a lot more to Black
River than just horses, Dad.
- You saw that on the website.
- Maybe.
Maybe it's just girls riding
horses.
I don't know.
(SIGHS) Well, here we are.
Listen, Kimbie, things change.
Your old friends, they
just may not be here.
And this may not be
everything you're expecting.
If you want out at any time,
I mean any time, just call.
I think they confiscate
our phones for a reason.
There's no good reason
when you're my daughter
and I miss you.
I'm gonna miss you, too.
Okay, kiddo, you're the boss.
(CHUCKLES) I just work here.
Are you gonna be okay without
me?
Sure, I'm a tough guy,
remember?
Gonna put some flowers on
your mother's monument,
gonna go home, eat some
chocolate,
and watch reruns of "Mister Ed."
That's my version of Horse Camp.
(LAUGHS)
You're such a nut. (CHUCKLES)
This is your last chance,
beautiful.
You say the word and we're outta
here.
I need this, Dad, please?
I'm gonna miss you.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
You need some help?
No, that's okay.
(ENGINE RUMBLING)
Good bye, honey, I love you.
Love you, Daddy.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SLOW MUSIC)
Welcome, Kimberly?
Wow, have you gotten tall
since I saw you last.
Happens to the best of us, Mr.
C.
Where is Miss Jessica?
Miss Jessica is now Mrs.
Jessica.
She got married last year
and moved on with her life,
so she won't be with us this
year.
Oh, she was always so nice to
me.
You see, little ones,
Black River Farm and Ranch
will live within you forever.
This place is your sanctuary.
I love it here, Miss Jessica.
And I love my horse, Lord Byron.
And he loves you, too.
And if you ever come back,
he'll be here for you.
Only if you're here, Miss
Jessica.
I'll never leave Black River.
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- She was the best.
- Yes, she was,
but you're gonna like all
of our new counselors, too.
This is Miss Lisa, our new head
counselor.
Let's grab your bags.
We'll drop 'em in the dining
hall for Jerry to grab
and I'll show you to your
bunkhouse, okay?
Okay.
Let's go.
SAM: Oh, Riley B, right here.
You're kidding, right?
(TENSE MUSIC)
What's wrong?
Well, for one, it
looks like it's infested
with Lyme ticks.
- And two?
- Two?
I've seen jail barracks
that are more accommodating.
Well, I guess we like to
keep things simple around here.
Simple, I get.
This is primitive.
(SCOFFS) Look, Riley,
just try to enjoy yourself
while you're here, okay?
Hey, we have great horses, a
petting zoo.
We even have an opera house.
I hate opera.
Yeah, me, too. (CHUCKLES)
- Dude.
- What?
You're so, so nice.
(CHUCKLES) I didn't always
used to be,
but this place grows on you, you
know?
But now I get to act nicely a
whole lot.
I don't, I'm not a nice girl.
I don't have it in me.
I'll bet you do.
(LIGHT MUSIC)
(ZIPPER WHIZZING)
Are you looking at the horses?
I'm looking at my horse.
Lord Byron, he's still here.
(HORSE WHINNYING)
Come on, let's go show you
your bunk.
Now, you can keep your cell
phone,
but we urge restricted
use here at Black River,
so it's kind of like a sanctuary
and a peaceful place away
from all the craziness
in the outside world.
- You have no idea...
- Hey, girls.
How much I want that, Miss
Lisa.
Hey, ladies.
Oh, that's nice.
Wait, where's the old opera
house?
It's behind us, on the other
side of the general store.
Why do I remember it
being near the dining hall?
I don't know, but I promise
you we did not move it.
Whoa.
Wait, was this always here?
No, this bunkhouse was built
last year.
Oh.
Things aren't always gonna be
the way
that you remember them.
Should I walk you in?
No, that's okay.
I already know all the girls.
LISA: Are you sure?
KIMBERLY: Of course, okay,
thanks.
LISA: Okay.
(DOOR SQUEAKS)
(HORSE WHINNYING)
SARA: Riley B, I'll
take those car keys now.
You can keep your phone.
No way, my wheels are my
freedom.
No go on the key thing.
It's the rules, B.
Or you're horse history, get it?
Just do it, Ry.
I had to give up mine, too.
Look, the keys are
kept in Mr. C's office.
They'll be safe there.
And should you find that Horse
Camp isn't to your liking,
they'll be there for you
when you're ready to go.
Come on.
(KEYS JINGLING)
Thank you.
Ry!
(AWKWARD MUSIC)
Taylor, Georgie, Macey.
Who the heck are you?
It's me, Kimberly.
- Who?
- Kimberly.
Yeah, I heard you.
- I have no idea who you are.
- Kimberly.
So that's three times now
that you've said your name.
Still nothing.
We were best friends five
summers ago.
Oh, well, okay, welcome back.
I think I sort of remember
you.
Okay, whatever.
So here's the 411, I'm only
here because my dad knows Mr. C,
and thinks I need to be more
spiritual and less snotty.
(SCOFFS) I don't think this is
gonna work,
but he promised to buy me a
Porsche
if I lasted the summer, so.
What are we doing this summer?
At least we get to keep
our cell phones this summer.
Right?
Let's go take selfies
on the Wishing Bridge.
(GIRLS FAINTLY CHATTERING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SOFT MUSIC)
Wow, she changed.
SARA: Just be patient with
her, Kim.
We're all made of imperfect
clay.
Yeah, I still remember what
Miss Jessica always told us.
What's that?
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)
The most important thing in
the world,
next to love, is kindness.
If you can help someone else out
without any expectation of
reward,
you've become someone magical.
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CHUCKLES) Ain't that the
truth.
I just wish more people
practiced that.
Don't worry about it, I'm new
too,
so wanna go look at the horses?
- Sure.
- Cool, let's go.
- Bye, girls.
- Bye.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to sneak up on you like that.
No, it's okay.
(STAMMERING) I've been mumbling.
I've been listening to a
self-help...
Can I help you?
(LAUGHS) Yes, I'm looking
for the head riding instructor.
- Her name's Stacey, I think.
- Yeah, that's her.
(SCOFFS) That's our Stacey.
Fine rider, good rider.
She's (SIGHS) excellent rider.
So maybe you could point
me in the right direction?
Even better, I'll take you to
her.
Right straight, I (LAUGHS)...
- Miss?
- Bonnie Lightyear.
Beautiful name.
Right this way.
Oh, I'm Jerry, by the way.
Oh, my goodness, I got
this hammer in my hand.
Pleasure to meet you, Jerry.
And it's Bonnie.
Just plain old Bonnie, nothing
special.
All evidence to the contrary.
(CHUCKLES) Well, aren't you
the charmer.
I heard that in the tapes.
I'm sorry, you heard what in
the tapes?
The all evidence to the
contrary line that I...
(LAUGHS) Oh, well, I won't
tell anyone.
I still have this hammer in my
hand.
Mm-hmm, yes, you do, Jerry.
- I'll put it down here.
- Okay.
- It should be okay here.
- Yeah.
- I'll put it down here.
- Okay.
- It should be okay here.
- Yeah, I think.
I think so.

Another summer, old boy.
I should've been head counselor
this year and not Lisa.
It's not fair.
Hi, there.
RILEY: Hi, he's so pretty.
He's a champion.
In his day, Baron won more
than just a few shows.
He's mine and I belong to him.
Do you wanna brush him?
- Really?
- Yeah.
RILEY: You're really nice.
Oh, you should see me ride.
RILEY: I bet you're really
good.
Good?
I'm the best.
I am the best rider that
Black River ever produced.
Everyone says so.
RILEY: I'd love to watch you
ride.
I would look forward
to that, too, young lady.
I hear you have potential.
Potential, excuse me, who are
you?
- I'm Bonnie Lightyear.
- The Bonnie Lightyear?
Good, you've heard of me.
That should make things much,
much easier.
I mean, I did win National
Championships '94, '95, '98.
Well, Ms. Lightyear,
welcome to the 21st century.
You must be Stacey.
Mr. C did tell me you were
the head riding instructor
last year.
(AWKWARD MUSIC)
Don't see me as someone
trying to take your job
because I'm here for one
year and one year only.
Actually, if I were you, I'd
look at it
as an opportunity to learn.
But I'm the head rider.
Not this year, sweetheart.
Not this year.
So I was told to check in with
you,
you'd tend to my horse,
and show me my quarters.
- But...
- Oh, and by the way,
Mr. Feathers here, he's a very
good judge of human nature,
- and he only likes nice people.
- But.
- But...
- Stacey, you'll be
our head riding instructor
again next year,
but this year is an excellent
opportunity
for you and the other girls to
learn
from a really top-end
horsewoman.
- But...
- Have you seen
their videos online?
They're really remarkable.
(SILLY MUSIC)
She's really quite amazing,
isn't she?
But...
Yeah.
That lady sure is nice.
She sure is.
I better get my hammer.

It's not for us, the counselors.
It's not for the people who run

We can thank Jerry and Mr. C for
that.
I'd like to say a few words
that my head counselor,
Miss Jessica, used to say
on our first days of camp.
BR Horse Camp is kind of
like a place called Oz.
It is a place of.
COUNSELORS: Safety, learning,
and fun.
Not only for you, but
for the horses, as well.
Most importantly, through
all the fun and the riding,
it is a place of learning.
Not like in school or in
classrooms,
but more like life lessons.
Lessons that you will carry with
you
for the rest of your lives.
I create every program at
BR with that goal in mind.
We wanna create a kind
of paradise. (CHUCKLES)
And I hope that, at
the end of this summer,
you take away with you
the invaluable lesson
and gift of friendship.
Welcome, all.

And, tomorrow, we'll ride!

(VEHICLES WHOOSHING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Now, is the time for
the first announcements.
It will be Lisa's first time
doing it.
I should've given her notes.
She's been watching you
for several years, Jess.
I'm sure she's got it handled.
I hope she doesn't
change any of the rules.
There are reasons behind
all of my rules, you know?
Yep.
People can get hurt around
horses, Dave.
I rode bulls and bareback
broncos for seven years, Jess.
I know the dangers.
Oh, my goodness, bareback
riding?
We don't allow any bareback
riding at the yard.
It's so dangerous.
I hope Lisa hasn't convinced Mr.
C
to change his mind about it.
It's a very safe camp, dear.
I'm sorry.
What about your job?
Doing anything important?
Oh, you know, just busy
protecting the whole county.
- Nothing big.
- Good.
Oh, no, Dave!
Dave, tonight's the Ice Cream

What if Lisa didn't order
any of the sprinkles?
It would be ruined.

You know, it changes every

And we want it to always stay

we're resistant to most
are actually for the better.
A lot of my old friends aren't

Well, four years is a long

And the ones that are here,
they've more or less forgotten

There's a lot of summer left.
Can I make a confession?
This is all new to me, too.

but I'm a little more exciting
than that.
Hey, who wants to take a
joyride into town with me?
We're not allowed to leave the

We're gonna get in trouble.
(SCOFFS) Lame.
I'm gonna go by myself.

I am so outta here.
Can't take it, Riley B?
What do you mean?
You are bailing.
I'm not bailing, I'm bored.
No, you are bailing.
You came here with an attitude
and you don't have the horse
sense to stick with it.
You don't know anything about
me.
You don't think I
know anything about you?
I know everything about you.
Really, how?
Because I am you.
I'm spoiled and nobody likes me.
I used to have a ton of
girls that would follow me,
but they only followed me
because they were scared of me.
They were scared that I
would destroy them socially
if they ever crossed me.
I'm stuck-up.
I think I'm Queen of the Hill.
I'm too good for everything
here.
Well, I'm not that bad.
Oh, sure you are.
You haven't even been
on a horse this year.
(CHUCKLES) I just really
haven't felt like it yet.
I remember you from last year.
You're the girl that's
too afraid to ride horses.
I'm not afraid of anything.
Okay, prove it.
Take one ride from Bonnie today
and after a ride or two,
if you're still bored,
I will give you the keys myself.
That's a dare, right?
Yeah, you betcha.
I'm daring you.
You up to it?
Up to it?
(SNICKERS) I welcome it.
(SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I'm ready to ride.
You ever trotted on
a horse before, honey?
No, it can't be that hard.
All right, go ahead.
Give it a little try.
(ANXIOUS MUSIC)
Piece of cake.
AMBER: It's not as easy as it
looks.
Just get me on the
saddle, then I'll be okay.
Okay.
All right, now hold the
reins loosely in your hands.
Been on a horse before, you
know?
Well, sweetie, I teach
from the ground up.
We have a lotta work today.
But first thing's first,
you need to lose your fear.
Now, go ahead, give him a little
kick.

STACEY: Miss Lightyear?
Stacey, what's on your mind?
Well, Riley cantered
for the first time today.
And I thought if she's brave
enough
to do something that scares her,
then maybe I'm brave enough to
say this,
I don't want to be the
best rider at Black River.
I want to be the best rider
everywhere.
Well, looks like we better get
started.
- How 'bout right now?
- (CHUCKLES) Stacey.
(SIGHS) When is the last time
you rode just for the fun of it?
What does that mean?
Exactly what I just said.
Don't you remember a time
where you didn't care
about being the best?
You just rode because you loved
to ride?
You and your horse free in the
fields?
That's the love I want you
to find again, all right?
Okay.
Go get yourself a horse and go
ride.
You got it.

Thank you.
Well, what are you two

Aren't you off doing your

Oh, well, we have been.
You know, we're building

(SOFT MUSIC)
(LIPS SMACKING)
We have a favor to ask.
Anything for the legendary
Miss Jessica.
Oh, stop, flattery

Well, so here's the deal.
Her kindergarten job has
her only working part time.
It's in the mornings from eight
to noon.
And the rest of the day...
The rest of the time,
I'm driving Dave crazy.
I didn't say that.
What we came here to ask was,
can she help you guys out here
part time?
JESSICA: Kind of like old
times.
Well, of course.
You know we can always use
extra help around here.
(JESSICA SQUEALS)
All right, great, then it's
settled.
Now, oh, where's Lisa?
We have a lot of work to do
to make sure this summer runs
smoothly.
Jessica, you know, Lisa is
very capable.
I think she has things
pretty much under control.
Well, yeah, of course, she
does.
Lisa's great.
I'm just gonna make a very few
adjustments here and there.
A couple of changes to make
sure we stay on course.
Thanks, Mr. C. (SQUEALS)
That's gonna be an issue,
isn't it?
Yes, it is.
And she is driving me crazy.
Don't even think about changing
your mind.
(AWKWARD MUSIC)
(HORSE WHINNYING)
(LIGHT MUSIC)
LISA: She's fantastic.
She's a star and so humble.
So why don't you go talk to
her.
(JERRY STAMMERING)
Jerry, how come you never got
married?
I was married for 22 years.
Wait, (CHUCKLES) what?
Only girl I ever kissed.
We met in middle school.
I lost her to cancer 14 years
ago.
Jerry, I'm so sorry.
Oh, no, it's okay.
It's all right.
You just never said anything.
Ah, it's not a subject I'm
fond of.
I told, Mike, Mr. C, when he
hired me,
but we haven't discussed it
since.
And you haven't dated
or anything since then.
(SCOFFS) No.
Well, it's been...
I think Emma would understand.
And you now have your eye on
Bonnie.
Who wouldn't?
But I don't know. (SCOFFS)
What would I even say to her?
Just tell her about
things that you like.
I believe in you.

Can I take a look at your food

Yeah, of course.

- Mm-hmm.
Appreciate it.
(JESSICA GASPS)

- Hello, Miss Lisa.
- Hey, Jessica.
What are you doing here?
Oh, well, wait.
We'll work on that.
I say, "Hello, Miss Lisa,"
and you say, "Hello, Miss
Jessica."
Yeah.
(JESSICA GIGGLES)
We're not really doing that this
year.
- It's...
- Oh, wait, oh!
No cell phones, I'll take that.
You and I are gonna have
to really watch these girls
this year, Lisa.
They're gonna wanna try to take
advantage of you. (CHUCKLES)
So many things to do.
I have to make sure everything
is up and running smoothly.
Onto the next area. (GIGGLES)
Oh, (CHUCKLES) there's a fence.

- Too bad.
- Why?
He's so shy, he's never
gonna do anything about it.
Maybe we can help out.
That's not a bad idea, Kimbie.
(CHUCKLES) You remember my
nickname.
So how are the Wonder Twins
gonna get these two together?
Let's get to it.
BOTH: Wonder Twins ignite.
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
So what's it like being
married?
Yeah, must be romantic, right?
Everything is fantastic.
Dave, that's Sheriff Dave to you
all,
Dave and I went to Orlando,
and he made me promise not to
tell,
but he wore mouse ears
with me all weekend.
Aww, he is so cute.
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
- He is so cute.
- That's so cute.
Oh, hey, what's going on here?
Staff meeting. (GIGGLES)
Okay, sure.
- All right.
- Great.
So I've been going through
all of your changes.
You've been very ambitious.
(CHUCKLES)
Some of them are, well,
you know, interesting.
Others, I just don't think we
can do.
- For example...
- Yeah.
I'm just gonna pause you
right there for a moment.
Girls, this meeting is over.
So, Jessica, I need to talk to
you outside
and you guys can go back to your
stations.
Thank you.
That means now.
Jessica, I love you.
Aww, I love you, too, Lisa.
Yes, but you are welcome
back here part time
as a junior counselor.
My changes are my changes.
As long as you stay with
my schedule and my budget,
I would love to have you here,
but it's a yes or a no.
A junior counselor after
all I've done for Black River.
Lisa's the senior
counselor this year, babe.
You gotta respect that.
Whose side are you on?
(DAVE HUFFS)
Yours, you're 100% right,
she's wrong.
Would you like me to call her a
name now?
No, don't you dare.
Lisa is pure and good
and, oh, my goodness.
She was right, wasn't she?
I went right in there
and I disrespected her in
front of her entire staff.
In front of her staff, Dave.
I am a horrible person.
No, no, you're not.
Are you sure?
I'm positive.
(SLOW MUSIC)
How'd you get to be so smart?
I listen to you for two years
and I learn what you want me to
say.
That was a good plan.
I think so, junior.

Okay, let's start by having

Then, he'll tell her that
she looks pretty today.
And that he had to talk to
her.
And if he didn't, he'd be
upset with himself all day.
So romantic.
And he wants to know about
her.
The real her, more than just her
looks.
Do you really think Jerry
can remember all of that?
Of course, he can.
It's not that hard to talk to
girls.
(HORSE NEIGHING)
- Hi, Jerry.

She walks around camp by herself
mostly.
I've seen this sort of thing
before.
- Would you mind if I...
- Jess,
I'm sorry if I was harsh
earlier.
(SCOFFS) No, no, it was my

It really was.
If you can help Zoey
have a great summer,
I would really appreciate it,

Go ahead, thank you.
No, thank you.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)

She walks around camp without
any friends.
And I looked into it and...
Honey, look, I don't mean to
be short,
but I've got a hundred
things to do for work today.
Look, you and Lisa are amazing.
I'm sure you will figure out
a way to help this girl out.
- Zoey.
- Fine.
And I think I have a plan to
help her.
Well, see, there you go.
I want you to mentor her.

- What?
- Yeah.
No, no, no.
Look, Black River is a fantastic
place,
but it's your place.
I mean, you're the one that
wanted to work part time there.
You know, this is your thing.
Her father was a Detroit
firefighter.
She lost him this year.
You're so good with horses
and I think she might
respond better to a man.
Especially, a man in uniform.
Okay.
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- Okay?

- Seriously, they've gone
on five walks together,
eat lunch together,
but he won't even hold her hand.
He's so shy.
I have an idea.
I liked a boy once,
but my sister stole him and
it just made me so angry.
So what's your idea?
Come on.
(GIRLS CHUCKLING)
(MISCHIEVOUS MUSIC)

is none of your business.
It's none of my business.
I don't even think I should
be saying the words love life
in front of you girls.
We're 16 years old, Mr. C.
And Jerry is a grown man.
If he wants to ask a woman out
on a date,
I'm sure he can do it on his
own.
He really can't.
I want his brother's phone
number.
If I can call him, then
our plan will work.

- Just look at the situation
for yourself, Mr. C.

Don't fight him.
Become one with your horse.
When his feet touch down,
it should feel like your
feet are touching the earth.
When his lungs fill, you
should feel the oxygen.
Good, now, listen to me.
This is gonna be new and scary
for ya,
but I want you to loosen up on
the reins.
Soon, you're going to drop them
entirely
and ride without them.

- Hey.
- Hey.
First year blues?
No, I'm okay.
I just have a hard time
making friends sometimes.
Yeah, it's definitely not easy
coming in
as a first-time camper.
I remember when I was 16 and
we had a brand new girl, Kathy.
And, unfortunately, I wasn't
very nice to her at first.
Why not?
I wanted to be popular.
So you were just mean to her
all summer
so you could be popular?
Well, no, she ended
up being super popular
and, as you could guess,
I started being really nice to her.
Wait, so you were mean to
her so you could become popular
and then you were nice to
her after she became popular?
I'm sorry, that's just really
shallow.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
And (SIGHS) it gets worse.
How?
Well, when Kathy became
the brand new Queen B,
we all started being
really mean to Stacey.
You mean Miss Stacey,
like the really good rider?
Yeah, that's the one.
And I'm not saying I'm proud it.
What I am trying to
say is, with some time,
we all became really good
friends
and maybe that'll happen for
you.
Thanks, think I really
needed to hear that.
- Yeah.
- I really am okay, though.
Okay, all right, I just
wanted to check on you.

- Dangerous? (CHUCKLES)

You think it's dangerous
because you can't see as well.
See, you're still thinking
with your human senses.

also quite the charmer.
Huh?
How's your first month
on Horse Camp been, Bonnie?
So far, I'd say rather
outstanding.
You two know each other?
We just met.
Getting along well, though.
Indeed.
I was just telling Bonnie,
here,
how I'm the head handyman
and groundskeeper
at the golf course here in town.
Bit more money in it
than the head handyman
at the Black River.
But that isn't important, is it,
Jerry?
Not to me, Larry.
(GIGGLES) You can definitely
tell
the two of you are brothers.
I don't like this.
She's funny and beautiful and
kind,
and I saw her first!
- So you fancy her, then?
- Yes, I do.
- You do?
- Yes, I do.
I like you very much!
Why are you yelling?

Hey, I got a phone call
from some of the campers.

I don't know.
We have to do something to help
out.
Kimbie's right, Mr. Jerry's
too bashful.
Seriously, the water balloon
fight was the first time
he even held her hand.
It's almost painful to watch.
Two adults acting like,
well, like one of us.
I think they just need some
help, Riley.
Right, I love the picnic idea.
I think it's lame and they're
gonna know it's a setup.
Who cares?
By the time they figure it out,
they'll have to go through with
it.
What do you think, Rebecca,
you in?
Oh, yeah, I think it's a great
idea.
I'm totally in.
Well, that settles it then.
Let's plan the most romantic
picnic ever.
(ROOSTER CROWING)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
See, I started riding
when I was real young.
(TENDER MUSIC)
One time, we had this old mule.
I was ridin' on him.
I couldn't have weighed
more than 50 pounds.
He decided he wanted to ride
right into the center of town.
There was nothing I could
do about it, except hold on.
(BOTH GIGGLING)
And, you know, it's a small town
and everybody's used to
seeing horses, but not mules.
That guy was so smart.
You know what he did?
He walked right up to the
grocery store
and he stood there in front
of the door until they opened.
As soon as they opened
the doors, in he walked.
- Really?
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
There was nothing I could do,
except duck.
I'm sitting there with my
little feet kickin' him
and yellin', "Whoa," and
pullin' on the reins,
tryin' to get him to stop,
but that guy was too smart, man.
He walked right up to the
produce section,
started eatin' all the carrots.
(LAUGHS) You're funny.
It's a true story, kid.
- You ready to go?
- Yep.
You ready, Mark?
All right, let's go.
Come on, buddy.

I'll be there at eight.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
They've known each other
for, what, two weeks?
(COUNSELORS FAINTLY CHATTERING)
Hey, campers.
Okay, I have a long list
of stuff that we need.
Okay, fire away.
- Real plates and silverware.
- Huh?
Twinkling romantic lights.
- We don't have those.
- Wine?
We definitely don't
sell wine to campers.
You're only one year
older than me, Sara.
Miss Sara, and nobody
sells me wine, either.
Miss Keilah, can you help out
here?
Mm-hmm, basically, we just
sell candy.
Ugh, Kimbie, we can just
go buy everything online.
Ooh, ooh, I know.
How about a happy camper
t-shirt?
KIMBERLY: (SCOFFS) No.
Okay.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(HORSE NEIGHING)
Stacey, you look like you
have something on your mind.
I just...
(PAPER RUSTLING)
Dear Bonnie, I wanted to thank
you
for helping me this summer.
I've been on six night rides so
far
and I know that I'm growing
in my horse skills every day
because of your teachings.
I didn't even know that it was
possible
to ride without reins, but I'm
doing it.
(TENDER MUSIC)
At first, I did not want you
here.
I knew you were a better rider
than I am
and I was jealous of you,
but I'm really glad that you
came.
You've taught me so much and
I just wanted to let you know
how very much it means to me.
So thank you.
Thank you, Stacey.
That was really nice to hear.
You're welcome.
- Stacey?
- Yeah?
You know, when we first met,
I was jealous of you, too.
Because of my youth and good
looks?
You reminded me of me.
I was always the best rider.
Every camp, every show, every
competition,
always the best rider.
I was always the prettiest.
And I was meaner than a snake.
I spent years hurting
other girl's feelings
and I actually enjoyed it.
So, yeah, when we first
met, I was jealous.
I was jealous because you still
have time to change, Stacey.
Thank you for this.
Thank you.
(STACEY SNIFFLES)
- Uncle Dave?
- Yeah?
Do you believe in heaven?
(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I don't know.
I think so.
I mean, I'd like to think
that all the people we've lost
are looking down on us, you
know?
And a lot of people with
the near-death experiences
that say they see a bright light
and feel real peaceful, really
happy,
you know, maybe that's heaven.
Do you think there'll be
horses there?
- Absolutely.
- Will my father be there?
Sweetie, all firemen go to
heaven.
That, I'm sure of.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)
I wanna say thank you, Stacey.
Thank me, what for?
I know it wasn't easy for you
in the beginnlng of the summer.
You know, with me becoming head
counselor
and Mr. C bringing in a ringer
to lead the horse program.
Probably felt like
people forgot about you.
(HEARTFELT MUSIC)
It did.
But you hung in there
and didn't quit on me,
and I wanna say thank you for
that
because BR needs you and I need
you.
And you may not ride at Bonnie's
level,
but, technically, no one
in the world actually does.
But you are an excellent
horsewoman.
Thank you.
And you're even better now.
I mean, Bonnie's gonna leave us
and you're gonna be our
head riding instructor
again next summer.
And you are really good.
That means a lot to me.
Thank you.
And I have to admit,
I was a little nervous
about your abilities
to be a cabin counselor
in the beginning of the summer.
But you were pretty good.
Was I the best cabin
counselor that you had?
You were pretty good.
I think head riding instructor's
gonna be the best spot
for you next summer,
but you were better than I
expected.
Lisa, Mr. C made the right
choice.
You're the best person for head
counselor.
I couldn't have done it
and none of the other
girls could've either.
Thank you, Stacey.
Do you remember at the
beginning of the summer
when you asked me if any
of the projects I worked on
actually helped anyone?
Flying first class to
Africa is not charity, Stacey.
I'm not going to fly coach,
Lisa.
Have you seen it back there?
- It's barbaric.
- Mm-hmm, Stacey.
Okay, but I was thinking,
if you'll have me,
I'd really like to work
on one of your projects,
like an actual charity.
Well, if you actually mean
that,
then I would love to have you.
(GIGGLES) Okay, we should go
shopping.
We could wear matching outfits.
I will pick them out just
because I have the better style,
but I'll do you a favor.
We'll buy blue
because blue is gonna
really compliment your eyes.
But I think I should pick you up
because I do need to valet,
and I don't know what
kind of car you have.
I can't be seen in rust.
Do you wanna get lunch?
I know this is new to you.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(HORSES BRAYING)
Wow, Jerry, you really outdid
yourself.
I did?
Yeah, you sure did.
I mean, look at this.
Yeah, I did.
(BONNIE CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS) This is really nice,
isn't it?
It is, it is.
Look.
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
Thank you, this is so great.
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
It's great because you're here
with me.
(GIRLS GASPING)
(GIRLS SOFTLY LAUGHING)
Did you hear something?
No, me?
- Look, chicken.
- Yes.
I think I remember you saying
you like chicken, Jerry.
I do, I like chicken.
I think I like you more.
More than chicken?
Even more than chicken.
(LIPS SMACKING)
See?
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
Come on.
(GIRLS SNICKERING)
Hurry.
(LEAVES RUSTLING)
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
Mission accomplished, ladies.
I could get used to this
whole matchmaking thing.
It was an amazing team effort.
I wonder if anyone will
ever love us like that.
Of course, somebody will.
He'll be handsome.
But not cocky.
And a perfect smile.
And a castle.
Or maybe just a really
nice house on a lake.
And he'll be older, like
really old.
Like maybe even 20.

(CHUCKLES) I cannot
express how pleased I am
with all of you, and I mean all
of you.
Our theme this year was
"The Kindness Quest"
and it was a overwhelming
success
and it's entirely due to all of
you.
I know it may seem that what
we did here at BR this summer
may have only impacted us.
But, please, take these
lessons you learned here
at Black River Farm and Ranch
and share them with the world.
I know we all love horses.
But at its core, BR is not about
horses.
We build strong female
leaders, women of confidence,
who spread kindness into the
world.
And I wanna say thank you
to my friend, Miss Jessica.
You have taught me so much each
and every summer of my life
and I wouldn't be the woman
that I am today without you.
Oh, thank you, Lisa.
(CAMPERS GIGGLING)
You are all very special to
me.
And from what I can see,
you all learned something about
being nice to one another.
So, please, when you go
back into the real world,
take the gift of BR with you
and spread that magic into the
world.
And I know I'm probably taking a
risk,
but I was hoping my good friend
Miss Stacey has something
that she can add to this.
So, if you would, please
give a round of applause
to next year's head riding
instructor, Miss Stacey?
(CAMPERS APPLAUDING)
- Woo-woo-woo!
- Woo-woo!
Thank you.
Wow, that's gonna be a
really hard speech to follow
after Miss Lisa's act.
(CAMPERS LAUGHING)
(WHIMSICAL MUSIC)
But I only have this to say,
I've been at BR for quite a few
years now
and this is the first year
that my eyes were opened
to, well, to myself.
I was always Queen of the Hill
and I never cared about
what anybody else thought.
Even when I went to Africa
to help feed the poor,
it was just an outward,
kind of, play acting.
I just wanted to show
the world how cool I was.
But it wasn't real kindness
because it didn't come from the
heart.
True kindness is when you give
and you expect nothing in
return.
And I think I finally understand
that now
thanks to my good friend, Miss
Lisa,
and to my new friends
to whom I owe so much.
I love you all.
Aww, I love you.
