Watch the drama unfold as Cloud struggles to keep his family intact in the face of challenges both natural and man made.
In 1995, while filming wild horses in the mountains of Montana, Ginger Kathrens discovered a striking, almost pure white colt just hours after his birth. Kathrens named him Cloud. She feared that his distinctive coat would make him an obvious target for mountain lions; but he survived and Kathrens continued to follow him in his adventures. In Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies this wild horse developed from a bumbling, unsteady colt into an adventurous, defiant youth.
In Cloud’s Legacy: The Wild Stallion Returns, Cloud is now a band stallion with a mare and her children, a yearling and a foal. Meanwhile, Cloud’s own child, which has a telltale golden coat, lives with another herd and will never know him as his father.
As the seasons pass, foals are born, brothers fight against one another for control of mates, and Cloud’s legacy grows. Threats come not only from rivals, but from government agencies struggling to manage both human and equine interests. Yet the biggest trial Cloud’s herd faces is yet to come: surviving an out-of-control wildfire that that threatens their lives and home.
Join these legendary wild horses on their adventures on NATURE’s Cloud’s Legacy: The Wild Stallion Returns.

I have loved horses all my life. What little girl doesn’t. I have seen them on ranches, but most amazingly, in the wilds of Colorado. I was young, about 16, my family and I went on a 3 week vacation to visit my older sister and her family. When it came time to leave, the rest of my family went home. I was very fortunate to have been able to stay for an extra 3 years. The most fabulous time of my life. In those 3 years, I was able to watch the wild horses, in all their glory. To this day, when life gets a little more hectic that I care to deal with, I put myself back where I believe I belong. Excellent, excellent documentation on Cloud. Very well done. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. I look forward to your next adventure when Cloud returns.
