Ginger Kathrens, the filmmaker behind NATURE’s Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies and Cloud’s Legacy: The Wild Stallion Returns, is working on a third film to premiere in 2009 that will bring viewers up-to-date on the wild horses of Montana’s Arrowhead Mountains.
While in production for this new film, Ginger is blogging about her experiences on the NATURE site. In her first post on July 3, 2008, Ginger explained that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is planning to drastically reduce the number of horses in the Arrowheads to counteract “overpopulation” of wild horse herds.
These developments touched a nerve for NATURE viewers, who flooded the site with comments and questions. Now, Ginger has taken some time out of her busy schedule to answer many of the questions viewers posted. Among them:
- What can viewers do to help protect Cloud and other wild horses in the Arrowhead Mountains?
- What kind of cameras and equipment does Ginger use?
- What are the requirements for adopting a horse from the BLM?
- Is birth control for horses a possible solution for the BLM to explore?
Read Ginger’s responses on the new Cloud Blog on NATURE Online.

Hello, I am the editor of a new woman’s magazine in Montana called 406 Woman. I just found out about Ginger’s work to help save the wild horses. I want to help.
