Sammi Hanratty: I Got A Horse!

Sammi Hanratty lets the wind run past her as she attends the When In Rome premiere held at El Capitan Theater in Hollywood on Wednesday evening (January 27).

JJJ recently caught up with the 14-year-old actress late last year and she dished to us that she just got a horse — which her new role as Whitney in The Greening of Whitney Brown inspired her to do.

The flick follows Whitney, a spoiled pre-teen from Philadelphia, who is forced to move to the country when her parents (Brooke Shields, Aidan Quinn) feel the squeeze of economic hard times. A fish out of water, far from her comfort zone, she befriends an amazing horse, and undertakes a misguided journey back to her old life, only to discover that her family is her home.

The Greening of Whitney Brown is set to open in theaters in 2011.
