Aple of My Eye 2017


     Bailey is 16 years old and she is training for the Nationals equestrian competition but she has a fall while riding.  She’s had falls before but this time it seems to be different for her?  She starts having blurry vision and her parents take her to have her eyes checked.  The doctor determines that it’s a problem with the optic nerve and Bailey will gradually loose all of her vision.  Her parents enroll Bailey in a program for seeing-eye dogs.  She tries out a lot of the dogs but they don’t seem to connect?  Charles is the head trainer of Southeastern Guide Dogs and he decides to go in a different direction for Bailey.  He obtains a miniature horse named Apple!!  He starts training Apple and Bailey knows that Apple is just right!!  She just needs to convince her parents to allow a small horse in the house!!
     Apple is very cute and she sleeps in Bailey’s bed.  I think she may snore slightly too!!  She’s very clean because Bailey shampoos her fur and her mane.  She gets a blow dry and then her hooves painted with nail polish!!  Bailey meets Jason at the Guide Dog center and they talk about their differences.  Bailey was able to see but Jason has always been blind.  Bailey knows what everything looks like and Jason can only imagine.  Burt Reynolds was almost 80 at the time of filming.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
