The Horse Whisperer is on now, I really like this movie.
The question is would you stay in Montana with the Robert Redford or go back to New York with your husband.

I choose Robert Redford and Montana anyday.

6. The book has some
stuff that the movie doesn't really play up.

In the book, there are some wild horses that they encounter on their outing. When the husband comes out they go on another field trip and The Redford Character (I don't remember their names, its been a while since I read the book) and what's her name slip off or she slips out in the night or something like that, and they encounter the wild horses. The Redford character uses his horse whisperer skills to calm the horses and allow her to get away.

At this place, I think she has decided to stay.

Then he makes a (conscious?) decision to let the stallion get him so that she will not have to face the decision to leave her family.

Sorry, that is sort of sketchy and is an attempt to recreate from a sort of sketchy memory.
