Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies
Introduction

NATURE presents the compelling story of a remarkable denizen of the West in Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies.

America’s wild horses lead an exhilarating but perilous existence. The climate can be brutal, mountain lions and other predators stalk the young, and their dependence on public grazing lands for sustenance often puts them in competition with livestock interests. In some places where these magnificent animals roam, it is not unusual for a wild horse to fall victim to an illegal horse shooter.

Against this backdrop, NATURE presents Cloud’s story. Filmed in the mountains of Montana, this poignant, engrossing chronicle focuses on an extraordinary stallion, whose life has been recorded since his birth in the wild in 1995 by Emmy-winning filmmaker Ginger Kathrens.

    I prefer typing some things and writing others by hand. If it is a long piece of work I like to type and edit that way. If I’m sending someone a note or writing notes to myself I prefer to hand write them (I’m weird I guess!*l*)

    These BK exercises are fine for beginners, but do not really qualify for “fitness” as there is no resistance I have my patients doing much more intense exercises even before they are fit with a prosthesis. Leg amputees should ask their prosthetist for a recommendation for an experienced PT if they don’t know one we love a challenge!

I have been around horses all my life and i only want to help these beautiful animals. There is a horse that belongs to the farm and since she cant be a hunter jumper is is worthless to them. I have been working with her on the sly and she is a very smart mare. she is very trusting with me and i have never forced myself on her. I just wish I could do something for her and be able to keep her from going to the slauter house and stay with me. If there is anyone out there that can help me figure out how to keep her and care for her cause I can stand the idea that she will be gone sometime soon . My e-mail address is fling528@yahoo.com and yes her name is irish fling and i love her with all my heart please help if you can thank you all very much in advance for your help

    Does anyone know how Cloud and the other horses are doing today? I believe the film is from a few years ago…. any updates? I feel so sorry for the future of our world. It seems like nothing gets fixed or resolved and we just keep adding more and more problems to the pile.
    Tonka makes toys for little boys and girls that can stand the test of time. Most of the toys today are made of low-cost plastic which isn’t designed to withstand the level of rigorous play that kids like, however the –

    Clouds herd is being decimated right now. The BLM has decided that they can’t manage the herd at it’s current level so they are going to begin trapping individuals to reduce the herd number below what most experts agree is a number necessary for genetic viability.

    With this low number, inbreeding becomes a major factor and extinction becomes eminent. I suggest you call your congressman, senators, even the White House (202-456-1111) to ask for an executive order to ban roundups and allow more horses to live in the wild. In the Pryor Mountains where Cloud lives there is plenty of forage and water so they won’t starve or die as the BLM would have you believe. Do the right thing and make a call, write and email or letter and let our public officials who work for us know how we feel about the way OUR houses are being treated by the BLM. Yes the are OUR horses…We the People!
