I really loved this movie, couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the adventure. Beautiful scenery.

I recently watched this movie on Netflix.Although, this was a beautifully crafted film, I have to note that it was obviously underwritten by the BLM.

Stunningly gorgeous (ergo all the stars) and I, too, felt deflated, actually more like cheated, when Johnny dropped out. It struck me as a cruel gesture mired in far deeper issues than concerns for a grandfather.

** spoiler alert ***I found it disturbing some of the places that they road the horses. To purposely ride thru the cactus and to push the horses up such steep, rocky terrain is wrong.

Actually, as one reviewer on this site has already noted, I developed an uneasy feeling as this documentary progressed, as I felt in some ways it was actually negating the cause it was espousing. As I understood it, the stated purpose of this film was mainly to illustrate how wild horses, called mustangs, could be trained and perform various functions even better than domesticated ones.

I can't believe that this film is suggested by Monty Roberts, a teacher and espouser of natural horsemanship. My dismay grew as I watched the film as they continued to treat the horses as tools and their flippant attitude when horses were injured.

I want to do this therapeutic in so many ways!! I gotta find a way to do this...

Saw this tonight in a theater full of horse people, and we all loved it. Scenic, accurate in terms of back country riding, well produced and filmed.

There was much anticipation. Waiting for months for the film to be shown, purchasing a ticket without knowing whether there would be enough people to make it happen...
