2012 3_6-8_Loaded_trailer_with_closed_sides_Presidio_border_TX_4tWhen Suffolk Downs trainer John Botty found out that Our Revival could wind up as dinner on somebody’s plate, he felt as if he had been punched in the stomach.

“Oh my God,” he says of the possibility of his former racehorse being sent to a Mexican slaughterhouse. “It would be like losing a family member.”

Although Americans never would consider horse meat as a delicacy, it is widely consumed in some European nations and parts of Asia. Since US domestic horse slaughter ceased in 2007, US exports for slaughter in Mexico have skyrocketed, increasing 660 percent, according to a June 2011 Government Accountability Office report. In 2010, 138,000 horses were transported to either Canada or Mexico for domestic and international consumption

Wild Horses in Winds of Change

WILD HORSES IN WINDS OF CHANGE is the WINNER BEST NATURE FILM, Cinema Verde, Gainesville Florida. 

 Wild_Horses_in_Winds_of_ChangeAs thousands of wild horses and burros are rounded up from their free roaming life on the range, tensions run high for their future.

With close to forty thousand wild horses and burros languishing in long term warehousing, the time for solutions is critical. Experts in the field challenge the current management system and the non-scientific myths and biased views about the wild horse. Despite the current crises for the horses, this film is a journey of beauty into the meaningful presence of America’s mustangs on the earth and in our lives.

Animals’ Angels provided footage for the film.

Here's a new endorsement from well known photographer & author Tony Stromberg:

"Wild Horses in Winds of Change" is a beautifully crafted documentary. It shines a bright light on our society and what it values (and doesn't). Many documentaries point the finger of blame, and showcase all that has been done wrong. This film offers and inspires new alternatives, while it calls on us to look at ourselves and our culture and our deeper values, without implying guilt. The film artfully portrays the broken spirit in the eyes of the wild horses, but also reflects a broken spirit in ourselves that truly needs healing. As we help our wild brethren, we are also helping ourselves... there is no separation. "Wild Horses in Winds of Change" calls to us to be guardians of the natural world, as well as the wild part that is deep inside all of us. --And it does so with heart and inspiration.
