This is beautifully done. Needless to say, the "subject matter" is magnificent and graceful, and the shots that have been slowed down and speeded up capture the elegance of the horses. There are some truly tender moments between members of the herd that are quite touching.

Great shots and it all goes very well with the music. Keep up the good work.

I really enjoyed this. Beautiful light and beautiful subjects.
It was magical to watch the horses group up and run together.

I wish you would have had a VO of the information at the end of this film in the beginning to set the stage. I think it would have had greater impact as we watched these majestic animals.

Well done! How long did it take you to film all this?

Thank you for the comment.

The film was made over five days. I moved around the 200 acres of the sanctuary for most of each of those days - starting at sunrise and going to sunset.

Thanks for the idea of the VO at the beginning. I think that is something I will try in another edit.

Thanks again
Sean

I was struck with awe Sean by the stunning beauty of these gorgeous creatures, and your videography caught some very special moments. I was also struck with the importance of the message too ... many have fotgotten the sacred truth ... when the land was as one with all living things - including us!

We need to remember this gift we've been given, sadly many just don't see :-(

Kindest regards
Chris
