Summary of Pamelyn's Acting Credits

Pamelyn Ferdin's character, Lynn, had bonded with the horse and was upset and tried to encourage her father, a sheriff, to rescind the execution. Meanwhile, the aunt's horse handler who was injured by Beckett which resulted in him having "a bum leg" would do anything to kill the horse. 
The father/sheriff was caught in the middle, wanting to follow the law and please his daughter. After Lynn tried to help the horse to escape, it was trapped under a fallen tree pushed over by the evil horse handler with his jeep. Just when they were about to shoot the horse because they couldn't release him Captain Marvel shows up and lifts off the tree and then flies to the Judge 500 miles away to get a court order to rescind the execution."
