RE: New Topic Posted on Jul 5 2008 at 12:31pm by I just finished watching this movie on my cable's feature, OnDemand. It has been a long time since I have been this moved by a documentary. I can't thank all those involved with this project...from the convicts, the ranch, and the filmmakers. In a time in this world when patience is perceived as weakness instead of virtue, it is comforting to know there are those who still believe.
I would also like to know what has happened to the cowboys, but I also wonder how they would feel with the lack of privacy? Do they want to ride off into the sunset into a blissful obscurity that I call real life? Would having small base of a hopeful few people help keep them on the right trail? Could the pressure of letting those hopeful people down in the presence of a set back be harder for a cowboy than breaking a horse?
If I were in their boots, I don't know how I would answer that.Update: Matt Peeples Posted on Jul 21 2008 at 9:39pm by I've been home now for only a few short months and miss the horses more then I could ever say. A co-worker said that he'd seen the film on Sundance so I decided to try their website to see if it would be played again.
The post about the first ride really moved me and brought back unforgettable memories! Memories of times that will be forever lifechanging in every good way imaginable. The thrill and accomplishment of every ride, especially the first ride is unimaginable.
I'm now busy with my day to day real-life. Yet it feels as if something is now missing. My serenity that I found with horses seems only a memory. Yet those memories give me the will to strive forward on a day to day basis with hopes of attaining a point of suuccess that will allow me to work with horses (hopefully mustangs) once more without loosing all that's been returned to my life; family, loved ones, and true freedom now that I'm sober.
I've come a long way and yet I still have a long road ahead of me. I give thanks to the staff of the WHIP-wild horse inmate program, to the Bureau of Land Managemet wranglers and also to the people involved with this film for helping me to find myself and dreams to strive for
Thank You!!!!!!
