Wild Horse Movies Streaming, Free

There are so many amazing books and movies for horses lovers; wild and domestic.

When you take some time to relax we have a few suggestions for the tired “equine warrior.” This year the fight for our wild ones and wild places has been intense.

The global health crisis of COVID-19 has many  of you hunkering down at home to keep yourself, family and community safe.

Several filmmakers are releasing pieces free to stream online. We have been notified that there will be more short films released over the next few weeks to inspire, entertain and keep you connected to the wild horse from your homes.

We have listed just a few of the free films below. We will expand this list soon.

If you are shopping online at Amazon did you know you can donate a portion of each sale to Wild Horse Education? Just select us as your charity of choice and help us stay in this fight in these chaotic times. (click here)

From the filmmaker, Ken Fall:

This is not a white paper documentary on horse policy. It is not about land use. It is not about grazing rights.
This is about people and horses. It is about connecting. It is about finding purpose.

The Fate of the Wild

From film maker Andrew Ellis:

While making a documentary about inmates that work with wild horses, I e-mailed Laura Leigh, a wild horse expert, asking for advice on how to film a helicopter roundup. She said if I wanted to film a roundup this year, I’d better come to Nevada in two days because that’s the last chance I’ll have. I was on a plane the next day, but I didn’t expect that Laura’s personal story would captivate me so deeply.

The film was featured in the New Yorker and shown at Mountainfilm (one word, not to be confused with the two word version that is not the festival). 

You can view the documentary short free HERE.
