"Taking the Reins" is all about a woman who lost her mojo and needs to get it back. When she lost her mojo many bad things happened in a short period of time. First she was divorced, then she lost her desire to jump horses competitively, which subsequently led to her losing the respect of her father, then she left her hometown to pursue a journalism career in the city, and so on. Sound familiar?
So basically we have the recipe for the same story that was already told a hundred times by Hallmark. What's unique about this film? There is some good horse footage, some jumping and living on a big 1 percent demographic rich family ranch sorta stuff. This time it's about her visiting home and rekindling the old passion with her ex-husband. It's not particularly realistic, but it happens in real life ever so rarely.
The supporting cast are all stellar in their roles, so that's a big plus. Otherwise this film leaves a Hallmark sized hole in the wall as it eludes good ratings.
