Cloud: Challenge of the Stallions is the next chapter in the exciting life of the charismatic stallion, Cloud, and the wild horses of the spectacular Arrowhead Mountains of Montana. This new adventure captures the twists and turns of a complex family drama; a tale of two stallions, Cloud and Shaman, who raise each other’s sons: Flint and Bolder. When the loveable colts mature into adult challengers, they battle the very stallions who raised them. Five years in the making, this unpredictable tale is both epic and intimate, tragic and joyful. Cloud fights to win new mares, surprising foals are born, lethal predators prowl, and a government bait trapping operation endangers Cloud’s family. Ginger Kathrens again captures the dynamic, complex, and beautiful world of wild horses.
Gather family and friends together and make this show an event to save America’s wild horses. Join filmmaker Ginger Kathrens on PBS.org immediately after the program for a live question and answer session. Then take a few minutes to write letters to your Senators to support the ROAM Act (§1579) and letters to your editor requesting that wild horses be preserved and protected in viable wild herds. 12,000 wild horses and burros are to be rounded up over the next year alone and removed from public lands in ten western states. This will leave fewer horses in the wild than will be stock-piled in government holding pens.
