Description
Look for Cloud and his band in the Beautiful Rocky Muntains … Program 1 - Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies Cloud is a wild horse of a different color - almost pure white. And his regal bearing and feisty personality make him stand out all the more. From the day of his birth in the Rockies, he so enthralled Ginger Kathrens that she began to follow his story, filming him and his fellow wild horses of the Arrowhead Mountains over the course of seven years. But in the highly competitive "culture" of wild horses, was Cloud capable of becoming the great band stallion she expected? This first of two films documents the challenges he faces on the way to maturity. He is captured in a government roud-up and released without his family, and battles with other stallions to win a family of his own. This remarkable program sheds light on the rarely seen complexities of wild horse society, especially its strong need for family in an unpredictable world. Program 2 - Cloud's Legacy: The Wild Stallion Returns Is there a beautiful new Cloud on the horizon? In this second film, Ginger kathrens unreels the next two years of her Cloud chronicles. Cloud is now a band stallion, with a family to care for. A new chapter of his life begins. Now he is a father, with two sons. The one he will raise is not of his blood. The other is Cloud's spitting image, but will never know him as a father. Yet Cloud's legacy is more than the passage of his genes, from father to son. He will also pass on all he has learned in the mountains to become a band stallion. His adopted son will profit from Cloud's skills as a protector, leader, and caretaker. And that may one day count for more than blood. But will the family survive the hazards of their environment - drought, storms, lightning, fire? You won't rest until you've seen this poignantly powerful tale of nature at its wildest. Extra Feature: My Life With Cloud Filmmaker Ginger Kathrens loves horses, but she has never known a horse as charismatic and fiercely independent as Cloud. In her own words, Kathrens gives fascinating insights on her years spent in the Rocky Mountains behind a camera, tracing the physical and social development of this uniquely beautiful wild stallion.

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

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.
