 Excelent! December 2, 2007

This is a very good story. We get to see a lot of natural equine behaviour, and what barefooted horses are capable of.
Yours sincerely

An Incredible, Riveting Study of Wild Horses November 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having raised horses, and experienced life and death among them, this film was riveting to me, and I continue to revisit it. That Ginger Kathrens spent so many years following and filming Cloud from birth to batchelorhood, to gathering his own band of mares is a gift to all of us who study and love horses. There are difficult scenes, e.g., the lightning deaths, the stallion killing the foal. Most of us who have raised foals know sometimes there is a "septic" birth, in which the foal is so ravaged with infection that it can't be saved even in an equine emergency room. And so the stallion did what he had to do from his genetic core. A stallion, or a mare for that matter, will also do this to a wolf, mountain lion, dog or anything that threatens the well-being of the mares.
There is so much to be learned from this video, not just about horses and herd behavior, but for ourselves as we project our emotions into these incredible animals. Part of my professional work is with human groups, and sometimes challenge them to work out their issues as quickly as a group of horses turned together for the first time. This film gives us a chance to think about ourselves as much as it does about horses.

Beautiful work composed by a very dedicated wildlife documentary filmmaker.
Cloud's journey is magical. He fights the elements, he falls victim to an imposed round up to limit the number of wild mustang, he witnesses a lucky reprieve and struggles relentlessly to gain a band of mares. Protecting his family is just the beginning.
This film is a rare gem. The narrator and filmmaker knows horses through and through. She introduces us to the world of the American Mustang. The way she manages to deeply illustrates not only Could and his band but also the other stallions and main contenders is pure magic. These are not just animals on film, they're characters in a story.
This documentary is for anyone who loves horses, nature, or a tale of undying courage. For all ages. Death isn't a stranger in the Rocky Mountains but the subject is treated with respect and honor. There is nothing inappropriate in this film and no parent should hesitate to show it to a child.

Fabulous nature documentary about wild horses but a little slow. Bought for my 7 year old who loves horses. Riveted the first time round but hasn't viewed it since. There are some violent parts and the photography is breathtaking but not a favourite.
Wonderful documentary February 25, 2006

This film has some of the most awesome scenes of nature. Besides the life of wild horses, other animals are also featured, depicting their relationships with them. A beautiful story of a stallion, from his birth to adulthood, and the trials and tribulations of his world. A very informative story for kids and adults alike.
