    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.… Expand

    This is a wonderful documentary whether you like horses or not. A great character study of the people who devote their time to help these animals and the range of difficulty the horses themselves bring to the table.

    Frustrations abound with this limited film, but Wild Horse, Wild Ride does one thing exceptionally well, and that is convey the emotional bond between trainer and horse.

    The first interactions between human and animal are fascinating, as the trainers often apply different approaches. As the horses learn to trust their trainers, connections grow into deep bonds.
