America's Last Wild Horses

The story of the wild horse in America from the proud time when it escaped from the Conquistadors to its hunted and persecuted life today. For two centuries the wild horse bands shared the freedom of the plains with the buffalo and the Indian, until the West was opened to white settlement. From their ranks came the tough and intelligent Western cow pony the Indians, and later explorers and cowboys learned to rely on {when they could catch them}. Pure spanish mustangs are still found among the few wild bands which remain on barren mountain pastures and remote desert ranges. But in ten years even these will be gone, for they are unprotected by any law, and are mercilessly and most cruelly hunted by agents for canning factories.
