The Dark Horse

THE DARK HORSE follows the "bad boy" of Dressage, "Mean" Acer Greene, who was recently banned for life from the sport when his controversial antics go too far. Soon he discovers the sport of Hobby Horsing — Finland's newest craze — and finds a trainer to help him hone his technique, thinking that if he does well in a competition the dressage federation will consider lifting their ban. Through persistent training, Acer perfects his hobby horse skills and learns to let go of his fear, but he'll soon find out how competitive the sport really is — and that these athletes aren't horsing around.
