    If this sounds like the premise of one of those tiresome Discovery Channel docu-tainments, it's because it essentially is, only heavily abbreviated to fit the feature-film format.

    The different approaches and training, and communication with these animals was interesting. An ancient art domesticating these wild animals. Watching the various methods the subjects employ is particularly enjoyable if you have or know an animal yourself. I realized, or thought about, for the first time watching this movie, that Horses are not really food motivated like say a dog. You don't see these horses being trained with a bag of treats. Seems the horse is much more discriminating than a dog and more skittish. Which to me, makes this movie and the relationships people have with these horses all the better. Another super cool thing about this movie is that it got me thinking about the value of these horses. A renewable federally managed resource. Like fish and game kinda. If these american horsemen can help manage that resource by uncovering the value of these wild animals, it could help protect the wild mustang. Good American stuff.… Full Review »
