Ratings and reviews

Well done, very inspiring. The issue of land management is a world wide problem. The divided view of animal management is impacting negatively on the land, with some tough decisions ahead. Good rangeland management is know, very few practise it, and it isn't the conventional paradigm. Even harder to implement over vast areas. Time is ticking to restore the land. If the management doesn't improve you'll get more of the same desertification that has and is happening. Amongst all of this there is lessons and opportunity. Good luck.

Firstly, the cinematography is breathtaking, I would give it 5 stars just for that. The soundtrack is perfect. The balance of information regarding these magnificent beasts & their plight with the journey of self discovery is so poignant and well delivered. I will watch this again & again. My heart is overflowing with emotion. Thank you to Ben, Thomas, Ben & Jonny for allowing us to experience a mere glimpse into your journey and share a part of the history that you have made. You should all be very proud.

Fantastic, what an amazing adventure that they will always be remember. It also makes me realise how hard it is to justify breeding a horse or two when there are so many needing a home. Thanks for bringing this to light, Australia has very similar issues.
