Plot

1863, a convoy in the American West, Martha Jane needs to learn how to take care of horses to drive the family wagon. Except she ends up wearing pants and cutting her hair.

Sinekatalog’s take

A young girl on a wagon train learns to handle horses and, in the process, trades dresses and long hair for something freer. The animation is richly coloured and spirited, with a clear sense of adventure. A lovely pick for families and anyone who likes fresh takes on western legend.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
