Ride Like a Girl

There are so many stories in the world that can inspire... What is worth the story of Michelle Payne - an ordinary Australian girl. From an early age, she adored horses and spent a lot of time with them. Sometimes she understood them much better than other people. All her life, the girl dreamed of becoming a jockey. Only, in this sport, there are usually no girls, and girls-winners have never been seen before in one of the most popular competitions in Australia - the Melbourne Cup. But Michelle is so easy to stop - no matter how much life lets her fall, she will still stand up and fight. And will become the first girl to win the Melbourne Cup.
