Horse Sense is a 1999 Disney Channel Original Movie, directed by Greg Beeman. It stars Joey and Andrew Lawrence. It was followed by a sequel called Jumping Ship.
Michael Woods (Joey Lawrence) is a lazy, preppy 20-year-old living off the wealth of his parents in Los Angeles, California, while struggling through college classes and dating a spoiled heiress named Gina (Jolie Jenkins), whom his family dislikes. Michael learns that his 11-year-old cousin Tommy Biggs (Andrew Lawrence), whom he has not seen since a family reunion several years earlier, will soon be arriving from Montana to visit. Michael casts Tommy aside during his visit, prioritizing his social life and the demands of his girlfriend over his guest, believing it would be sufficient to entertain Tommy with his family's large television and movie library.
On Tommy's last day in California, the family housekeeper Arlene makes Michael aware of his mistreatment toward Tommy and intends to tell his parents about it. Michael attempts to take Tommy to Disneyland to make up for it. However, en route to the theme park, Michael receives a phone call from Gina pleading for him to meet her at a racetrack so she can introduce him to her father. Michael capitulates and leaves Tommy at a children's daycare center while he drives to the track to briefly meet Gina's father. Michael charms Gina's father over the course of a couple hours. When Michael realizes how late it is, he hurries back to pick up Tommy and collides with another vehicle. When Michael arrives, he learns Arlene had picked Tommy up several hours earlier. When he comes home, Michael is confronted by his angry father, Glenn (Robin Thomas), who discovered his maltreatment towards Tommy from Arlene.
After Tommy arrives back home, Michael's mother, Jacy (Leann Hunley), informs him that she had a conversation with his aunt, Jules (Susan Walters). Glenn tells him that his behavior is disgraceful in choosing his social life and Gina over family. When Michael's parents learn about his automobile accident with Deidre White from the police, they determine that the appropriate disciplinary action would be to send him to work on his aunt's ranch in Montana for a month. If Michael's parents get a negative telephone call from Tommy or his mother regarding him, they intend to cancel his upcoming trip with Gina to the French Riviera. Michael arrives in Montana and is taken to his aunt Jules' ranch, where he meets her ranch hands Twister (M.C. Gainey) and Mule (Steve Reevis), as well as Tommy.
