Edmonton International Film Festival 2011

Wild Horse, Wild Ride follows a handful of unforgettable characters participating in the Extreme Mustang Makeover Challenge, an annual contest that dares 100 people to each tame a totally wild mustang in order to get it adopted into a better life beyond federal corrals. The film chronicles stories of the profound bonds that can develop between people and animals. From the rolling hills of New Hampshire to the Navajo Nation to the heart of cowboy country, the film captures a journey that is at times harrowing, humorous, heartwarming and heartbreaking as these wild spirits - both human and horse - embark on the ride of their lives. Eventually all converge in Texas to compete against each other and offer the horses up for adoption at an auction in which the trainers, if they wish to keep their horses, must bid against the public.
Presented in partnership with The Whinnies: Best of Equine Film; a traveling collection of films that celebrate, inspire, inform and advocate the horse/human partnership.
