    Dear Ginger K.,I enjoy watching the three video’s of Cloud from birth to I believe 9yrs.old when he captured the mare Velvet,who he knew back when he was a young foal.this video of Challenge of the Stallions was so terrific I never get tired of watching it and the other two.you captured everything about these magnificent horses so well.I also would like to know if there will be a fourth video about Cloud and all the wild horse bands.I pray about our beautiful wild horses may they always roam free and multiply as God so intended them to do,and be left alone by the BLM as they don’t need manageing as God takes very good care of them and he also regulates and controls the size of the herds,by the preditors,the weather and as they become very old and die..I agree with you Ginger K.the BLM made their own problem with to many horses in holding pens,they need to return the wild horses to the ranges where they were born and return the land they took from them and let them ROAM FREE FOREVER AND EVER

    hello,Ginger K. I am always in ah every time I watch your video’s about Cloud and all the wild horses.They’re all so beautiful and magnificent animals.It breaks my heart when I hear what the BLM has been doing to them and is doing.I wrote congress lady Kay Granger and Senator Coryne sp? and senator Kay-Baily Hutchison sp? and President Obama this evening about getting congress to remove Salazar and to stop paying the BLM and fire them and then prosecute each and everyone of them that were and are involved with the distruction and mistreatment and inhumane way they’ve rounded up these magnificent animals,I made the horses a promise I would write e-mail everybody and anybody that can help stop the insanity of the BLM and Salzar.I so hope you will make another video about Cloud and his family and all the wild horses.you are one incredible lady,you are to be admired for all that you’ve done and are doing for these beautiful animals

  4. Shirley says:

    I was on the website,www.horsepreservation.org and http://www.animalsmatter.org. there is going to be a march on the White House this month,I believe its going to happen around the 15th of this month you go on those web sites and you can get all the information about it and a list os congressmen and women you can call petition on behalf of the wild horses against the BLM and the illegal round-ups.to save Cloud and his family and all the wild horsesI won’t be able to be in D.C.for the march but I will be making phone calls thats for sure.Our friends the wild horses can’t speak for themselves so we have to do it for them.I believe Ginger Kathren and other advocates for the wild horses are going to be there for the march and protest to save Cloud and all the wild horse bands.I pray the horses will be saved.

    Hello,Ginger K. I was wondering how are Image, Shadow ,Flint, Bolder, Rainey, Velvet, Cloud, Storm, just all the beautiful horses, hopefully their fine and roaming free like they should be.Are you going to make a fourth video about all of them,I pray you will so we all can see these magnificent horses again.I just love Cloud and all the wild horses each one has a personality all their own.And Shadow and Image,Storm were so cute when they were little,I’d love to see them now that they’re all grown up. I pray they’re all alive and doing well.

    Cloud is the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen, apart from my horse of course! I love Image. he’s the cutest little ball of energy!

    Ginger,
    Oohhh my goodness! This is a gargantuan revelation. Thank you for sharing and inspiring, as well as advocating, all of your love, time, and energy devoted to this documentary. Hopefully, the content creates a clear understanding to turn “We the People” and the BLM around to a new way of thinking and doing: to keep our wild horses …wild horses! It brought tears to my eyes. Tears of joy at being able to actually share some time in their lives ..the way wild horses live and should be able to continue living.
    Sending love to you and these wild horses,
    Truly, Joyce

    Hello,Ginger K. how are things going for Cloud and all his family??I do hope all of his family and him and all the other wild horses are free and roaming their ranges where they were born.All the magnificent beautiful wild horses from Raven on down the line to image and storm to all the young foals that we haven’t seen that have been born since storm and image,I sincerely hope with all my heart that they’ll be able to all be released back on the ranges where they were born to roam free forever and ever.And I pray real soon that all the land taken from the wild horses be returned to them and the BLM will be fired and prosecuted for their abuse and inhumane treatment they have done and are doing to these beautiful animals.They have to be the cruelist,cold hearted people on this earth,how they can sleep at night is beyond me.Cloud and all his family and the rest of the bands don’t deserve the way they are being treated by the BLM and Salazar.Ginger K.I am still signing every petition on this I am e-mailing everybody and anybody that can or could help save our wild horses.I even went so far as to e-mail Ellen D.about our beautiful horses and their mistreatment,hopefully I’ll hear back from her.She does alot for different organization,abuse for animals.we’ll see.I just can’t imagine not having our wild Horses and Burro’s roaming their open ranges as God so intended them to do.

  9. Shirley says:

    Hello Ginger K.,,has there been any thing new about Cloud and his band and all the bands.Did the courts bring charges against the BLM like they were going to??I sure hope so as they’re breaking the law doing what they’ve been doing and are doing to the wild horses and burro’s.And I do hope they’ve stopped using the PZP on the mares and stopped altering the Stallions.As they need to breed and multiply so they will live and roam free forever and keep the wild horse and burro breeds going for an eternity as God so intended for them to do.The wild hosres and burro’s are managed not by man,cause man can’t manage any wild animal,between the preditors and the severe weather in the winter time,keeps the bands to the right size.I would like any news anyone can share about these beautiful horses and burro’s.I keep praying and e-mailing anyone I think could or would help save our wild horses and burro’s.god Bless Cloud and his and all the bands everywhere.

    Hello Ginger,

I love watching cloud and his family! Is there going to be another seson? I love to see Cloud with Velvet and am so sorry Dusty was killed.

    Hello Ginger, I love your films. I cant seem to get enough of them. I`ve just finished watching Challenge of the Stallions again, and Its better again for the 10th time. Your films do something to me that I cant explain. I`ve watched the other two over and over and I find them just as passionate. I love the music. It fits. Image is beautiful and I hope “Image, son of Cloud” is being thought abought as the next film. I love the way you showed the way that all the elements of their enviornment works so wonderfully together. I hurt for the loss of the beautiful colts that were lost to the lions but thats nature being shown at its self. If you do decide to do another film about the wild horses there, I hope you keep your simple passion and eyes and heart that are so filled with love for them that I can feel all the way to Atlanta. Thank Marty fo getting you to do the films in the first place also. Whatever happened to the magnificent Red Raven and his mare? I see several stallions that look just like him in the last film. Thanks again Ms. Katherns, You do good work.

    Theres got to be a fourth one by image, flint and or boulder

  13. Shirley says:

    I also hope there will be a fourth Cloud video of Image,Bolder,Flint and all the off-spring from Cloud and Sitka,Shaymen .What ever happened to the magnificent Looking Glass,Santa fe and all.All the wild mustangs are so beautiful and exciting to watch,so please Ginger make another video about these magnificent wonderful horses.The President Obama and Ken Salazar and the BLM should watch your videos and then they might understand that these wild horses need to stay free to roam the open ranges and multiply like God so intended them to.They don’t deserve the way they’ve been and are being treated by Ken Salazar and the BLM.God Bless you Ginger K.for all you’ve done and are doing for the wild horses and burro’s.Your a terrific lady.

    These shows are my favorites I hope there will be one this year 2010

  15. Toni says:

    I’m thrilled to see Cloud in such great condition, but it broke my heart to hear about the tradegy with Sitka. And Cloud’s little buckskin, Dusty. But everything happens for a reason, and Cloud will go on to sire new foals and find new mares. Image is beautiful. I had to pull up a picture of baby Cloud and then compare the two. I hope he stays the creamy champagne color of his father, and not darken to copper, like Bolder did. Flint amuses me somehow – the way he tries so hard to get mares from his stepfather, and yet just not too far away theres a chance of a mare and he never goes for it. I increasingly dislike Bolder for some reason. Maybe it’s the fact that he is such a challenge to Cloud? I don’t know.

    I hope there is more Cloud yet to come! Thanks!

    These horse documentary films are exquisitely done, and a big thank you goes to all the films makers, from Kahtrens to those behind the camera and in other places making sure we see the majestic landscape Arrowhead Mountains of Montana. To say the horses are beautiful is an understatement. They are supreme and sublime; they truly represent what it means to be free. Sadly their freedom has become more and more managed, as mankind’s population and his need for more and more resources increase exponentially. Whenever I watch these large animal documentaries — be they horses, mountain lions, wolves, bisons, or bears — knowing how their natural way of life has been so negatively impacted, from how they bred to how they eat to where they are allowed to roam, in ever smaller patches of land, Henry David Thoreau’s simple observation that he was very lucky to born in the “nick of time.” And that was a bit before the America Civil War. Even then, Thoreau, who never traveled more than a few dozen miles from his beloved Walden Pond, know NATURE (from trees to grasses to rivers and lakes and oceans) was losing its battle against Man and his machines and ever-growing apetite for raw resources and HE won’t stop until he has exhausted all that could be extracted from HER. It’s very sad how the “smartest creature” ever come onto the scene, on earth, behaves so mindlessly towards Nature like he has the last 400 years… Seeing how the Oil in the Gulf of Mexico kills the wetland and birds and marine animals — as well as the tons of floating trash that will not decompose for hundreds of thousands of years — reminds me of how cruel, how shortsighted, we are in our dealing with Nature and all of her other creatures, as if though we’re not part of Nature itself…

    Poor Shaaman. I hope that, sometime, he’ll find a mare. And Sydca! I actually cried. :( And when Image was born it made me really happy. I’d like to see horses in the wild sometime. I can’t believe Cloud has such a large family. Thank you so much for your time and effort for us to enjoy 45 minutes of this sensation.
