North America's Wild Horses

I see the documentary is creating a lot of comments and debate. That is good, debate always is. Within this debate there is some criticism of the BLM, even very severe criticism. It should be taken into account that this documentary was made in the early 2000's. It correctly depicts the work that was going on at and with the BLM at that time. I can vouch for that. The BLM may have changed as an organization and the way it operates since then. I hear talk/mention of a much less animal-friendly approach. I am not contesting that, as I have no knowledge of the BLM today (I live in Europe). There is every reason to be critical and skeptic, if that is the case. That being said, I ask (demand) that people keep the tone decent in this thread/forum. Insults, f...words etc. and undocumented wild accusations will be removed by me personally.

Nothing more magnificent as a horse running free.

To my knowledge, this is one of the very few horse related films that speaks for the horse. This is what every new horse person should be required to view.

JUST SOMETHING GODLY ABOUT SEEING WILD ANIMALS LIVING IN THEIR WILD HABITAT!!! ROAMING FREE!!! AWESOME!!!

I live on 120 acres of fenced property in NE Venture County between Simi Valley and San Fernando Valley. A dozen horses get to go where they want all day and a few are Mustangs from Nevada. They usually stay close to the corrals and hay though, and return every night to the corrals. This area has been used for Hollywood westerns for 100 years, having been used by most, if not all, western serial tv shows like the Lone Ranger and so many others. There were dozens of movie ranches within a 10 mile radius.

Those Mustangs are so beautiful. I love them.

That Horse Whisperer guy was amazing! I started to cry to see how beautiful, smart, and trusting that horse was!💕🐎

They are very beautiful things and I love them. Thank you, I am Ahmed from the State of Iraq

They are such beautiful horses, I’m amazed that there are so many independent herds.

i love this horses.Mustangs are beautiful

Genuinely was so happy to see the Horse Program for the inmates, that's a really wonderful thing that's happening - for the successes at least. It was really good to see those people with hope when their lives weren't what they'd possibly had wanted before (maybe they had their ideal life, I dunno) but some just seemed so happy with the horses :)

This is an awesome documentary Sir! We live right here in wild horse country in Nevada and see them almost everyday, it's amazing! Thank you for sharing this story.

This is a true story and will prove that I was there. 1988-1989 between Tonapa and Christle Springs off the beaten path about 50-60 miles in a big valley I saw a white stallion with about 90-120 all dark brown and some black mares and it was truly a beautiful sight. I always was able to whistle and using my voice at the same time could sound just like a horse. When I called out to this group that was running from me and my truck the white responded with a magnificent fury. His herd kept running up the side between the mountain and a huge single rock formation and he came running up and down the gullies till he got within eyesight of me and I am glad he stopped to look me over. He was about 150 yards and I did not whistle at him again. He reared up and trotted back to his mares with his head and tail arched cause I was not a threat. Until he saw me he thought I was a challenge. Anyone in the history of big heards at that time knows of the white stallion I speak of. There was not an unhealthy animal that I could see and a spectacle of a lifetime was caught on my camera. I also hold some drilling records that have not been beaten in North America.

Horses are magnificent animals to be treated with respect. Thanks.

What a gift and loveable this trainer is!, Love him

These horses, wild horses, are so different looking to me then domesticated horses. Even more majestic and a perfect example of pure freedom.

What an outstanding way to help a young man gain confidence and self worth! Glad there are such programs!,👍 🐴 🐎 🥰

That one inmate that braided the grey roans forelock. You can tell these guys really care about earning the horses trust and respect. Amazing for these horses but mostly for these inmates. I'm incredibly impressed and grateful that these beautiful, majestic animals are being TRAINED NOT BROKE by an amazing program. I'd love to adopt one.

I enjoyed that. Thank you for uploading.

When they were taming the horse, it reminded me of Toothless and Hiccup.. especially when he reached out to pet the horse.
