Straight from the Heart is a 2003 American made-for-television romantic drama film starring Teri Polo, Andrew McCarthy, Patricia Kalember and Greg Evigan.

The film is based on the romance novel by Pamela Wallace and premiered on Hallmark Channel on February 9, 2003.

Jordan Donovan (Teri Polo), a photographer from New York City, is set up with Tyler Ross (Andrew McCarthy), a Wyoming rancher, after her boyfriend fails to commit.

Jordan is quite a skilled horse-rider, having frequently exercised other people's horses with her father in Upstate New York when she was young.

His hostility is an anger at the world and lack of closure for his wife who died with his unborn child in childbirth.
