  • I wrote, directed and produced this documentary film on wild horses/mustangs in the US Rocky Mountains area back in 2002. So my comprehensive CV/Resume also states filmmaker :) It was a coproduction with Swedish national broadcaster SVT, and the film was broadcast worldwide, including France, Italy, Spain and the US. My father and veterinarian Lennart Curt Østblom plays a major part in the film. Help save these magnificent animals under threat. Here you have the film in it its full-length English language version, 50 min. Enjoy and help to preserve!

    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.

    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.

    Thank you so very much for this video. I have owned a few horses in my lifetime,
    Purely for pleasure riding and riding in parades. There was a group of us who all lived in the city and we started a riding club. We boarded our horses in Saxonsburg, pa. The owner of the stables was a great person to have as a friend as was his son Ben. I have always had a great love for horses and still do. This was one of the greatest times in my life. I have not had the pleasure of owning my own horse for some years but I still ride. Not to bad for an 80 yr. Old
    Black guy.
    To all of you folks who watched this video, if you have never experienced being involved with horses in anyway,try learning to ride to start. It is an awesome experience you will never forget
    Thanks again for this video, it brought back a lot of memories .
    Ps. Thank you Wayne and God bless.

    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.

We had 2 paved roads, one going North/South ( North to Jackson Hole and South to Rock Springs) and one heading out towards the mountains to the west, my Grandfather and I would " ride out to the end of the pavement in his car and we could watch the wild horses be themselves, beautiful creatures in stunningly beautiful country. I miss those days. How bout we let THE PEOPLE of the states vote on where they end up after round up and not some thieving political hack! Novel thought. Thanks for the video.

    This film brought back memories. I grew up riding Saddlebreds, then Hunter/Jumpers, Western Reining and finally Dressage. I've owned and ridden many different breeds of horses and ponies. Then my oldest daughter bought a Mexican Mustang for her husband because her Thoroughbred was too hot for hubby to ride. His name was Rafael, but we soon started calling him St. Raffie. He was so wise and brave and steady. You had to work slow and carefully with him on the ground at first until he was sure about you, but he was solid safe around traffic, bulls, playgrounds with screaming little kids. He did everything, even jumping! He was wonderful; good bone, great feet. Raffie finally got too old in the tooth (worn down from previous life in sandy soil) and she couldn't keep weight on him. He let her know it was time for him to pass on. He is buried in a grassy field under his favorite tree but we will always remember our little blood bay saint. Mustangs are truly wonderful horses.

      If you are ever fortunate enough to have a horse adore you, that relationship will be one of the most precious in your life. I worked with a mare that would come and put her mouth around a bit because she like our riding time that much. BTW I'm a dog guy not a horse guy. Still, I like most critters.

    Mustangs are some of the most amazing horses ever, my sister got her first mustang back in 2017 and we have just loved them ever since. I have 2 mustangs of my own, the trust between my gelding and I is unbelievable. He's just so trusting and kind, he's only two so he wasn't in the wild for long. Then my yearling from Antelope valley just acts like any regular domestic horse, she was most likely gathered as a foal with her mum.
    There's so many nice mustangs, it's hard to find one that you wouldn't bring home. They're all so correct and beautiful. The real key with training them is to give them time, if you push them too much they can either get aggressive (scared or not.) or hurt themselves trying to jump a fence etc.

I didn't see any lather-up horses as they were rounded-up and I saw the men as being knowledgable and caring.

That horse-whisperer fella was cool. There was one horse, by the name of Harley, who stood at 18 hands and was the most gentle boy. Harley used to rest his chin on my hand as I stood inside the bottom of the stable door. I stroked his withers and the look in his eye was both calm and friendly. Those Wranglers are good guys. Beautiful animals.

    “Today, mustangs are no longer threatened and there is great respect for these horses.” Yeah, then fast forward to 2018 when Wyoming approved the culling of tens of thousands in order to lease more land to cattle ranchers.

      I’m glad some of the horses are being kept safe. Let us not forget what happened to the American Wolf… And they are only around now because we physically re-introduced them after completely wiping them out. Hopefully we have learned from that and it will not happen with the horses.

You are pissing people off with your blanket statements about white people. None of us should die. And I have no idea what political views other commenters have, but that’s not the point of this video. You can have an opinion, but please knock it off with the race hatred.

      If i'd be the kid watching this docunentary I'd ask immedialtely: "Why are we renting / loaning milions of acres to ranches and put these amazing creatures in a situation where they risk to die from starving?"

I'm not saying he wasn't knowlegable about some things Also some of the other training stuff...baloney! I'm 71 yrs. old and had horses all my life.I love the mustangs. I've followed the mustang situation since the 60s and it's a sad thing that's happening. It's all about cattle grazing rights, money and politics. I truly believe the BLM has become corrupt.

      @@robyndismon394 good question! It depends, usually on the type of criminal. But I have seen surprising successes. I've also seen complete disasters, often when a convict has finished his time at animal work-therapy and goes back to incarceration. The emotional backlash can drive inmates to kill, even if they were non-violent prisoners before. That's a side seldom shown.

      Nth Americas attitude towards wild horse management is far better then Australia.
      At this point I am ashamed to say I am Australian and ashamed at Australian Governments management plan based on past history.
      Perhaps you will consider viewing some shocking footage of what us Australian people witnessed back in 2002 .
      How Australian gov decided to approach our wild horse situation as their management plan>
      Then maybe consider you in Nth America are more dignified and kinder then you may think.
      Based on studies the Nth American land can only withstand 40,000 wild horses at one time and this is respect to not kill them rather to catch and control the herd.
      Forgive me if I offend.
      This is not my intention at all sending you this reply.
      My hope is that passionate intelligent people such as yourself spread the word about wild horses in general so more people are aware .

    All of this, the land and the protection, thanks to the work and dedication of Wild Horse Annie and her love for the mustangs and her fight to keep them free and away from the slaughter houses, plus the abuse and torture in their capture which they endured for so many ages.
    One needs to be around horses and really know them in order to understand them.....I truly love horses and love the wild mustangs, they are unique animals.......I have been around horses since I rode my first horse at the age of three......Wild Mustangs are NOT your regular domestic type horse one sees in barns, they can be unpredictable but also they can be a true friend as well...it all depends upon the person who is around it, and they don't always accept someone. One such, I believe, is a true story which I grew up with, was that of Black Kettle, a wild horse, a black, free-spirit mustang named after the Chief of one the North American Native tribes.....It was untameable and valued its freedom so much that NO one was able to catch it, but when they tried to corner it, it jumped into the air and off of a cliff, landing dead at the bottom of a canyon.
    One thing I do know of is how much wildlife and habitat we are losing every day, all thanks to humanity's GREED and LACK of RESPECT for all life upon our world, let alone towards humanity itself. If humanity keeps going the way it is, not only will be losing more of our wildlife and habitats for them, but also more of all of our natural resources which humanity has taken for granted over the eons.....and of which all of us will be the ones for its demise. Humanity needs to change it attitudes, not only towards its own species, but also towards what life is left and which humanity has taken for granted upon our world.....with wiser use of our natural resources, and instead of throwing everything into the oceans and landfills, less wasting of our natural resources and more recycling, including in helping to conserve what we still have for future generations.....otherwise I see a bleak future for all upon our planet, our home, EARTH.
