PROPERTY PROFILE
vv DreamWorks’ Spirit Riding Free centers on a group of three friends, who together experience coming of age and the power of friendship. Lucky, a gutsy 12-year-old girl, befriends a wild Mustang she names Spirit. With her two best friends, Abigail and Pru, and their horses by her side, they explore a world filled with endless rides and never-ending fun. Together they’ll push their own limits and discover what it truly means to be free. The series currently streams on Netflix. Abigail is optimistic, energetic, and upbeat— she’s basically the human equivalent of a golden retriever. She’s a bit of a girly girl and can talk a mile a minute, especially if you get her talking about something she loves—like crafting new tack for her horse.
Lucky is a natural-born leader. She’s not really afraid of anything, always willing to take a shot in the dark, or risk a new challenge. Her courage and confidence are contagious, and she pushes her friends to new heights of adventure, excitement, and fun.
Pru is a true horsewoman and knows almost everything there is to know about horses and the country where she grew up. If Lucky is the heart of the trio, Pru is definitely the brains. She can be a little stubborn, but once someone earns her friendship, they earn it for life.
vv DreamWorks’ Spirit Riding Free is inspired by DreamWorks’ Oscar-nominated film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. vv The new Spirit is actually the son of Spirit and Rain from the feature film. The show’s artists gave this new horse a blaze to show similar coloring and markings to his parents. vv Lucky’s full name is Fortuna Esperanza Navarro Prescott.
Boomerang is a Pinto Gelding who is friendly, well-meaning, and loyal. He’s also a total goofball, whose unintentional pratfalls and slapsticky bumbling add comic relief to even the most dire of misadventures.
Spirit is noble, powerful, smart, and unbreakable, keeping his heard of wild Mustangs safe and free in their home. While Spirit would never be anything but gentle and affectionate with Lucky and her friends, he is proud, stubborn, and aloof with everyone else.
