Wild life didn't shape the land, it simply fits into it. Mankind on the other hand has changed it significantly. If we all died out overnight, the planet would soon heal itself, and the critters large and small would rub along together!
The cruelty to the horses is unbearable & favour shown to livestock farmers at public expense & to the detriment to the wild horses who are rounded up, domesticated or shipped off for killing for dog food etc. Despicable human behaviour.
good coverage of issues facing the freedom for horses on the ranges that continue to this very day ~
I would like to hear more from Richard Harington on wild horses who says it is unlikely they all disappeared. Bob Alison said it "appeared to have disappeared" and "its pretty much a mystery". other statements, the only apocalype event theory is man, but unlikely. And if only reintroduced after 500 years reverted to their primative survival and natural traits.
You might find this book of interest by DR. Yvette Running Horse Collins. It is titled The relationship between the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the horse : deconstructing a Eurocentric myth. It is her doctoral dissertation. She posits that the horse never disappeared from North America.
Horse or politician ,..... I chose horse !!
So very sad...
Hoy en día, los únicos caballos salvajes verdaderos son los caballos de Przewalski, originario de Mongolia, los de la raza de retuertas, o andaluces, los "Asturcones", de Asturias la raza europea más antigua de todas. Sin embargo, la familia de los équidos existió en tiempos prehistóricos y experimentó su evolución en América del Norte. Los estudios con ADN antiguo, así como el ADN de los ejemplares más recientes muestra que en un primer momento fueron dos especies estrechamente relacionadas con los caballos en América del Norte: el "caballo salvaje" (Equus ferus) y el "Caballo de zancudos," que se asigna a varios tipos de ejemplares. A pesar de esto, el género Equus, en Norteamérica, se extinguió al final de la última edad de hielo, hace unos 10-12.000 años aproximadamente, posiblemente debido al cambio climático sumado al impacto de cazadores recién llegados. Por tanto antes de la llegada de Cristóbal Colón a América, podría decirse que no había caballos en todo el continente. Los caballos volvieron a poblar América gracias a las importaciones españolas, y a los caballos que llevaban en los barcos los conquistadores españoles. El mismo Cristóbal Colón importó caballos de España a las Indias Occidentales en su segundo viaje en 1493. Los caballos domesticados llegaron al continente con Hernán Cortés, en 1519.
Los primeros Mustangs eran los descendiente de los caballos ibéricos que llegaron a las costas de México y Florida. La mayoría de estos caballos eran de raza desconocida y cruzas con caballos berberíscos. Algunos de estos caballos escaparon o fueron capturados por los nativos americanos, y la especie se extendió rápidamente por todo el oeste de América del Norte.
Los nativos americanos adoptaron rápidamente el caballo como medio principal de transporte. Los caballos reemplazaron a los perros como compañía humana, debido en gran medida a su importancia en las luchas tribales, y a su utilidad para el comercio y la caza, en particular la del bisonte.
A partir de la época colonial y durante la expansión hacia el oeste en la década de 1800, los caballos pertenecientes a exploradores, comerciantes y colonos que escaparon o fueron puestos en libertad de forma intencional se unieron a la reserva genética de caballos españoles descendientes de los rebaños. También era práctica común ente los rancheros del oeste, liberar a sus caballos en invierno para que se buscaran el forraje. Algunos rancheros también trataron de "mejorar" las manadas salvajes acabando con los sementales dominantes y sustituyéndolos por caballos con pedigrí.
Gracias por compartir.
The Bureau of Land Management manages the horses...to extinction.
Environmentalists protect snails but not animals which helped mankind for thousands of years.
Unbeknownst to most, because of their singular stomachs that process their food only lightly, leaving their waste rich with nutrients, enzymes and seed that springs to life behind them as they migrate, wild horses are a vitally important Keystone species. Unknowledgeable or deceitful people claim they compete with cattle for forage, but in reality, their forage-species-diet only overlaps with cattle by 11%, and they prefer different grasses than cattle, so there's little commonality. It is known that the most efficient way to restore damaged rain forest is to reintroduce elephants to their former range, due to their singular digestion just like horses. The ruminant species, those having multi-chambered stomachs, with multiple digestions, leave their food stripped of nutrients, such that they cannot nourish the soil and Land as wild horses do, and these ruminant species are many: cattle, sheep, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, deer, elk, pronghorn, moose, caribou, bison, and others. The wild horse is the only large migrating single-stomached herbivore that North America has, and to remove them as has been done, will remove this vitally important Keystone species that brings new vegetation Life to the range, and will result in desertification, the making of deserts and famine on the range. Elephants and wild horses re-seed the Land, creating and maintaining habitat for the thousands of species that depend on those ranges. Further, studies have found that both of those species keep stable numbers that are well able to be maintained on their natural range, and that if there is any longterm, severe drought or famine, their own biological processes prevent conception if and when that's necessary, so darting wild horses with antifertility drugs is not ethical or sound judgment, nor necessary. Those promoters of darting animals in the Wild with antifertility drugs have even stated that they intend on doing the same to Asian and African elephants in the Wild, EVEN THOUGH both are already endangered species, and there's no excuse for that course of action. To do that would halt reproduction, such that elephants would become extinct that much sooner, just as has been done with horses in the Wilds of America. Almost all former wild horse management areas have already been zero'd out, and those left on the Land are being darted with antifertility drugs that can cause permenant infertility, such that there is little to no reproduction and without righteous cause. The VERY LAST wild horse herd in the US that has not experienced any "legal" interference, that the FS is planning to round up in the coming months, is near Heber, Arizona, about which I have a playlist called "CRITICALLY URGENT & IMPORTANT." Records have been kept over 20 years, and these horses have kept stable numbers. Though they are "protected by Law," the FS plans to remove most of them, such that with only 50 remaining on the Land as they plan to do, they would not be a viable herd, and then they plan to dart them to halt reproduction, which inevitably will cause extinction of the wild horse in America. Few people realize that there are no longer any untouched herds in the US, that the herd near Heber, Arizona is the last at this point. Please read the description of my playlist about them for more information and how to help. Thanks.
OH! DEAR GOD!!!!!
I read the comments. I think the commenters missed the point of this documentary. Had they paid attention to what was presented they would have learned the whole purpose of the film was to present the side of the wild horse and the need to leave them alone in their natural environment. Yes there were scenes that showed cruelty and stress. But without those scenes the movie would not have proven its point. That point ? Keep government out of things that require common sense. Bureaucrats and politicians cannot be trusted to do the right thing. Here conservatives and liberals should be able to agree ! 😎
John In Texas Amen .....
I agree John.
Dan Flores is right (3:52)
Why can’t you leave them beautiful animals they are free an wide I wish I could come up close to see the beautiful mustang they are not killing or attacking anything they are going along minding their own business why do you have to kill every thing off
When domestic livestock outnumber horses 100-1 or more and the horses are the problem and believe it you got your head up your behind and the way these animals are being treated you should be held accountable by the law.What is shown here is cruelty by any reason.
Blm are liars
Shortly after this video was published 2015 Dr. Jay Kirpatrick died from a Cold?
Amigo y love mustang qui ero uno para hir achihuahua ba
Get. The. Cattle. Off. The. Land. They've been fine since the 1700's; it's the cattle (not Federally protected) that are damaging Wild Horse habitat.
And the cattle owners are getting rich by grazing their cattle op our land, we the tax payer pay for the upkeep of this public land,
I stopped watching this because of the unforgivably cruel handling of the foal brought in a net hanging under a helicopter and then how it was abused by those men? No.. No excuse.
Leave the horses alone!! God's creation is crying.
Greediness, hunger for more and more money, selfishness, and pride...and those people wants to be blessed by God!
Hello!!

Heartbreaking cruelty.
Way across the emotions of sadness to the absolute ridiculous ignorance of GIVING their land to livestock ranchers.
Rancher livestock destroys. Horses heal.
We MUST find a way to stop this.
We MUST.
Horse lovers, stop attacking ranchers! Most of you have no idea how ranchers make a living, nor of the fact that the government long ago guaranteed the ranchers the seasonal use of federal lands. These are rights associated with the individual ranches.
So...to make money the human ranchers welding their power and money, lobbying in their own interests, will bring the wild horse, who’s been here thousands of years to extinction. Nice...ruining an absolute staple in America. And you are cheering for the greedy rancher.
Nice 😳😳😳😳
Studies have shown that wild horses share only 11% of forage-species with cattle, even preferring different grasses than cattle.

It has its own design to follow, and we are not The Designer.
