Backbencher

This movie starts off in the mountains with a boy and his father cutting down trees. There is a herd of wild horses that pass by and startle their horse and a tree comes loose and lands on the dad and kills him. At the funeral the men of the mountain tell the boy that he needs to go down from the mountain and basically work his way back up. He goes down from the mountain into a town to find work. He finds work at a ranch where he is a hard worker. He comes to realize that the owner of the ranch is the brother of one of his fathers friends. This rancher grazes cattle up in the mountains and gathers them in the winter. In the winter gathering the boy is not allowed to come along. He stayed behind and the ranch owners daughter makes the boy break a really expensive colt and they form a love for each other. When the ranch owner comes home he is not pleased and fires the boy, but the boy left before he found out about the colt. He was sent into the mountains to get some stray cattle that ran away on the round up. The rancher's girl then runs away, gets stuck on a cliff, and the boy saves her and sends her home. Once the boy comes home with the cattle the ranch owner is very mad, because he also found out that the boy and the girl love each other. He tells the boy to go away and he does. Last the ranch owner want to get his colt back, because some of his ranch hands let it out and it started running with the same bunch that was in the beginning of the movie. The mountain boy ends up rounding them up and gets the girl in the end. I saw this movie before I heard the song about it, and I thought it was crazy how the song followed the movie so perfectly.
