![Cloud: Wild Stallions of the Rockies / Cloud's Legacy: The Wild Stallion Returns (Double Feature) [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513JN2P6RTL.jpg)
Look for Cloud and his band in the Beautiful Rocky Muntains Program 1 - Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies Cloud is a wild horse of a different color - almost pure white. And his regal bearing and feisty personality make him stand out all the more. From the day of his birth in the Rockies, he so enthralled Ginger Kathrens that she began to follow his story, filming him and his fellow wild horses of the Arrowhead Mountains over the course of seven years. But in the highly competitive "culture" of wild horses, was Cloud capable of becoming the great band stallion she expected? This first of two films documents the challenges he faces on the way to maturity. He is captured in a government roud-up and released without his family, and battles with other stallions to win a family of his own. This remarkable program sheds light on the rarely seen complexities of wild horse society, especially its strong need for family in an unpredictable world. Program 2 - Cloud's Legacy: The Wild Stallion Returns Is there a beautiful new Cloud on the horizon? In this second film, Ginger kathrens unreels the next two years of her Cloud chronicles. Cloud is now a band stallion, with a family to care for. A new chapter of his life begins. Now he is a father, with two sons. The one he will raise is not of his blood. The other is Cloud's spitting image, but will never know him as a father. Yet Cloud's legacy is more than the passage of his genes, from father to son. He will also pass on all he has learned in the mountains to become a band stallion. His adopted son will profit from Cloud's skills as a protector, leader, and caretaker. And that may one day count for more than blood. But will the family survive the hazards of their environment - drought, storms, lightning, fire? You won't rest until you've seen this poignantly powerful tale of nature at its wildest. Extra Feature: My Life With Cloud Filmmaker Ginger Kathrens loves horses, but she has never known a horse as charismatic and fiercely independent as Cloud. In her own words, Kathrens gives fascinating insights on her years spent in the Rocky Mountains behind a camera, tracing the physical and social development of this uniquely beautiful wild stallion.

An Incredible, Riveting Study of Wild Horses
Having raised horses, and experienced life and death among them, this film was riveting to me, and I continue to revisit it. That Ginger Kathrens spent so many years following and filming Cloud from birth to batchelorhood, to gathering his own band of mares is a gift to all of us who study and love horses. There are difficult scenes, e.g., the lightning deaths, the stallion killing the foal. Most of us who have raised foals know sometimes there is a "septic" birth, in which the foal is so ravaged with infection that it can't be saved even in an equine emergency room. And so the stallion did what he had to do from his genetic core. A stallion, or a mare for that matter, will also do this to a wolf, mountain lion, dog or anything that threatens the well-being of the mares.There is so much to be learned from this video, not just about horses and herd behavior, but for ourselves as we project our emotions into these incredible animals. Part of my professional work is with human groups, and sometimes challenge them to work out their issues as quickly as a group of horses turned together for the first time. This film gives us a chance to think about ourselves as much as it does about horses.

The Living spirit of CLOUD is beautiful; His life must be understood why Wild Mustangs ...
The Living spirit of CLOUD is beautiful; His life must be understood why Wild Mustangs deserve a right to coexist in the West in any state, without the intrusion of the government! Which means that his family along with the bands of other Horses need our help and protection from unscrupulous ranchers who only want all of the land for themselves. We as tax payers demand their right to exist in the Western United States of America!.

Truly a beautiful story
The story of Cloud continues. Beautifully photographed and narrated. I grew to love this horse as a colt and with each new addition to his story fell even more under his spell. These DVD's show him as he matured and started his own band. I cried at the way he won his first mare. So brave, tender and proud.I read other reviews that stated some of the subject matter might not be suitable for younger children. I didn't see anything that I would object to my child viewing.This is a story for family viewing that both adults and children can enjoy.

Get ready to fall in love with Cloud!
If you love horses, you'll love this documentary. Narration is relaxed and informative. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll learn even more about horses and their behavior. Long and interesting enough to watch it several times and not be bored.

Cloud stallion of the Rockies/Wild stallion returns
GREAT NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY AND REALLY GREAT CLOSE UP PICTURES OF THE WILD HORSES. WAS WONDERFUL HOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOLLOWED THESE SAME HORSES FOR SEVEN YEARS AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT INSTALLMENT. LEARNED THINGS ABOUT WILD HORSES I HAD NOT KNOWN SUCH AS THE OTHER STALLION KILLING THE CRIPPLED FOAL. I KNEW THAT LIONS DO THIS AND IT SAVES THE LITTLE ONE FROM A LONG PAINFUL DEATH. WILL WATCH IT OVER AND OVER BEING AN AVID HORSE LOVER.

Wild Horses in the Wild
Another purchase for a Christmas gift for a friend. I had seen one part of this video on PBS so I knew a little about this dvd. These horses are so amazing - and an unrecognizable important part of our history. They survive at all odds and the government is constantly finding ways to get rid of them. We need more documentaries like this and our heritage and more people to speak out for the horses. ENJOY

Pretty Good
My dad loved this video so hard. I found parts of it eh due to the "sappy" names the researcher kept giving the wild mustangs. But I gave it 5 stars for my dad (it was a birthday gift for him), because he thought it was super great.Also, WYLD STALLIONS WITH TED "THEODORE" LOGAN AND BILL S. PRESTON!!!!!!!!!!!
