threat and horror
A cowboy attempts to chase down a horse by lassoing it, but is dragged behind the animal and sustains injuries. There are other scenes in which both humans and animals are threatened with injury in the context of horse wrangling; however, there is no evident animal cruelty on screen. A man drives dangerously on purpose, scaring his passenger after she rejects his romantic advances. A man repeatedly slaps a woman's clothed buttocks without her consent, though his behaviour is immediately condemned.
language
There is very mild bad language ('hell', 'damn').
sex
A man watches a woman's clothed buttocks as she rides a horse. There are moments of innuendo and undetailed verbal references to sex.
alcohol and smoking
Adults smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, sometimes to excess. In one comic scene, a child mistakenly drinks alcohol.
theme
A woman becomes distressed at seeing the rough treatment of a horse. References are made to horses being killed for dog meat. There are brief, undetailed verbal references to domestic abuse and to bereavement.
