There is some fantastic footage of the country that the horses inhabit
and great scenes of horses travelling, fighting and surviving against
the odds. The movie features Christine, the paint Brumby mare from Queensland,
who survived a 4 month stay in the desert to reveal the effect that the
long daily distances on rough terrain has on sculpturing the desert foot.
There is footage of her darting, capture and initial handling, how she
joined up with her new desert band and the GPS track of where she went
for that 4 month period. |
