I can’t wait for part 3!!!! If you haven’t seen part 1 and 2 get the dvd–you will NOT be disappointed. The books are also superb.
It’s not out until October 25, 2009. This sneak peek looks AWESOME, but I wish Storm (though he died in 2006) was in it, and I wish Bolder was, too. I have the new Cloud breyer toy, the one with Arrow, Image, Ember, and Bolder in it! I own the DVD with the 2 episodes and the bonus, “My Life with Cloud” by Ginger Kathrens. I thought Velvet was still black…anyways. I can’t wait. Only 15 more days! (Today is October 10, 2009 when I post this.)
Sadly, this herd has been separated and sold at auction. The Pryor Mountain Wild Horses were rounded up by helicopter and run over 30 miles to a holding pen. There were a number of foals who were around a month old, nearly run to exhaustion,injured, frightened. Cloud and his band were captured, even the oldest stallion, Conquestidor.They will never run free again. Some were sold, the others will live out their lives in a holding pen. This decision was made by the Montana BLM. I am a native Montanan and am proud to say so, but this makes me ashamed of our state and federal government. For anyone interested in learning more go to the Cloud Foundation on line. The BLM says the land cannot sustain a herd this large, that horses were dying, etc. The land CAN sustain the herd and horses die. It is Mother Nature. They did re-release some after the mares were given birth control. Now what is left of the herd will figure out who will lead, stallions will fight, mares will have new leaders. It will be a stressful time for them. I dont understand why we just cant leave things alone. It cost all of us alot of money to do this roundup and the end result is well, the end. Again, so much information is available through the Cloud Foundation. Please go there. Thank you
Actually, Conquistidor was rounded up and sold for 2,000+ ! (less than 3,000) Cloud was rounded up with his large herd. Image, Ember, Arrow, and Cloud Dancer, I believe, were removed. This is so maddening, if the BLM interfered once every 5 – 10 years, we wouldn’t have this population problem so much.
I hope PBS allows time for an update on what the BLM did to Cloud and the Pryor Mountain mustangs this September — and continues to do wild horse populations this the rest of this year and the next — all apparently under the gaze (and tacit approval) of Ken Salazar. Why hasn’t Obama intervened?
Ken Salazar is a moron whether it comes to handling matters of immigration, mustangs and now the Yellowstone Wolves who were closed to extinction and revived only to be slaughtered again.He must be stopped.
well they should do something but i think its just glorious to see these wild horses free and yes i believe they shouldnt be captured and slaughtered but hopefully after all the wars and economical crisises Obama can finally help with these types of situations. For now we can only marval at some of this beauty that we need to protect.
Not only was Cloud captured, but he was returned to the Pryors injured. As was one of the mares in his band. I hope that PBS permits Ginger to provide an afterword upon their current state — I am so worried since winter has already begun with a vengeance in the Pryors! (And this roundup was watched by a number of people, just think what a typical roundup with few people to observe does to the mustangs, esp the foals) Appalling.
Obama was wrong in hiring Salazar, so far Obama hasn’t stood up for any of the animals and this has me worried. He said he would cut subsidies to factory farming but he’s now given them our money. He didn’t rescue a dog, he bought one from a breeder. He was a co-sponsor of 311 at the end of the year. I love the guy but he’s got to come around on these animal issues. If the horses go with the wolves and polar bears, I don’t want my tax money to be used to bring them back again, just let them go, because if it gets that bad, the people of our nation will not deserve to ever see them again. GOD help us all, including our animals.
It looks like Obama has made another big mistake
by hiring Salazar. He certainly isn’t looking
out for one of our most treasured icons, the
American wild horse mustang. The American Mustang
is part of our heritage and they must be preserved. In my opionion, they are one of our
greatest gift to the world.
Is this really true, that Clouds herd was rounded up? I was wondering what happened to him and his family. This angers me beyond reason, I was routing for this band to remain free and wild. I am still in shock over what I just read, I can’t believe that the BLM think they have the right too take these magnificent animals off the lands that they have known for centuries. This land was set aside especially for the wild horses to live out their lives wild and free so why is the BLM not allowing them to do that? This reminds me of what the white people did to the Native Americans, took away their lands and put them on reservations that were supposed to be for them and then slowly they took the reservations from them too. When are people going to learn that every living thing on this earth has the right to live their lives without interference and without having to live in fear for their lives? Let Mother Nature take care of the herds and the numbers herself and stay out of it!
Apparently no one is safe from the U.S. powers that be from snatching freedom “for their own good.”….sad fact that we are powerless once the freedom was taken, these horses can’t legally be returned? Do we have any power other than just opinion?
No matter how many times I watch any of the Cloud series or clips, the hair on my arms goes up along with on my neck, I take this huge gulp of breath in through my nose(because I wasn’t breathing deep) and tears well up. No words to describe the soulful emotions.
B L M…..badly lacking management. It is their way, their history and their future. Every time humans step in to ‘regulate’ things, nature becomes unbalanced and the BLM with all their possible good intentions simply have no clue. Let the Native Americans regulate these beautiful horses..they are one with nature..not apart from it. Great videos…thank each of you for seeing this beauty and voicing your thoughts. We need all the bugs, birds, fish, animals and etc. to keep nature in balance…not one of them needs a human. Humans only ‘think’ they know what is best but most of you here have the insight to know when to leave things alone without human intervention. Gad…we screw things up enough as it is…look at the environmental mess we are in now. Keep supporting these horses and their right to be free!!!! Blessing to each of you!!
Thank you to those of you in Montana who have updated us. After the program tonight I tried to find out what happened but didn’t see anything except here in the comments. Please keep us updated about these horses. I am dismayed by the hubris of humans to think we know better than nature. I’ll check the Cloud Foundation now.
You can also keep up with the Pryor herd at Pryor Wild Blog. This is a good post with links to a new video of Cloud and he is just fine. http://www.pryormustangs.org/mustang_blog.shtml
BILLY JACK COME BACK!
C’MON EVERYBODY, LETS GET THE WORD OUT MORE. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE BLM IS REALLY DOING. I, FOR ONE, AM GOING TO GET MORE INVOLVED. LETS GET MORE PETITIONS SIGNED. GET PETITIONS FROM CLOUD FOUNDATION, GO SIT IN FRONT OF YOUR BUSIEST LOCAL FEED STORE, AND GET SIGNATURES. THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO MANAGE THESE HERDS!
I love horses! I have one myself. It’s name is Mazy. She is one years old. And she is solid black. Bye!
Horses are the best! I wish they would show cloud and horse specials more often
