This bestselling book, originally published as a companion volume for public television’s Nature series, Cloud: The Wild Stallion of the Rockies is documentary filmmaker Ginger Kathrens’s personal retelling of her years following the wild horse she named Cloud.
Beautifully designed, the book is elaborately photographed and divided into seventeen chapters that follow the life of a wild stallion, just one of hundreds of horses that have roamed wild in the Rocky Mountains for two hundred years.
The book begins with the author and filmmaker witnessing the birth of a helpless white colt. Each subsequent chapter documents Cloud’s interaction with his mare Raven, his brother Diamond and other colts in the wild as well as his adventures encountering dangerous predators, older stallions and human trappers.
Kathrens’s gripping observations of wild horses of the Arrowheads, their fights, struggles and alliances, give the reader much insight into the fascinating behaviour of these wild horses. Now published in paperback for the first time, this updated and fully redesigned volume coincides with the one year anniversary of the last sighting of Cloud.
