Virginia's Run is a 2002 Canadian-American independent coming-of-age drama film directed by Peter Markle and starring Lindze Letherman, Rachel Skarsten, and Gabriel Byrne.

Virginia Lofton is a 13-year-old girl living with her older sister Caroline and their father Ford.

Deborah, the mother of Virginia and Caroline, was killed three years earlier after a fall in a riding accident.

Ford has sold their horse, Twister, to a neighbor and forbidden his daughters from riding in an effort to keep them safe.

The owner, Blake, tries to train Stormy to race for his son Darrow, who is also Caroline's boyfriend, but the horse doesn't get along well with him.

Ford is able to track down the person who bought Stormy and he buys him back to give to Virginia as a birthday present.

Ford realizes that Deborah wouldn't have wanted him to stop riding or to keep Virginia away from horses.

He is disqualified for cheating and Virginia accepts the trophy while two men from the audience toss the MC into a water trough.
