Nature – Horses (DVD)
Take the Reins for Two Rides You’ll Never Forget. (Approx. 112 minutes) Program 1: Wild Horses of Mongolia with Julia Roberts Julia Roberts, who shares a passion for horses with the Mongolian people, accepts an invitation to spend several weeks with a nomadic family, and learns first hand anout the wild horses that have been such an important part of their lives for millennia. Despite no shared language, able to communicate only with smiles and universal gestures, Ms. Roberts lives exactly as her host family lives in a one-room transportable ger, with no bathroom, no running water, and no heat and in is absorbed into the daily routine of nomadic life. She helps with the deconstruction and relocation of her own house when the family movies, learns some lessons about herding from the family patriarch, cheers on the family children in a race, and demonstrates her own riding skills. When she bids her hosts goodbye, it is evident that she has acquired a great respect and affection for a people and a way of life. Program 2: Horse and Rider Saddle up and settle in: This program takes viewers on a high-stepping, hard-charging ride into the fascinating relationship between horse and rider. The two twist and turn, charge and brake to keep a determined cow from returning to its herd in a rodeo competition. A rider silently directs her horse through a series of graceful, dance-like maneuvers at a dressage exhibition. And horse and rider chase and race after an elusive little ball during a polo match. With the help of leading trainers and competitors, the program shows how a carefully developed understanding, trust, and communication between horse and human make such amazing feats possible.
