Running Wild includes breathtaking scenery shot in the Black Hills of South Dakota, western Oregon and Michigan’s Lake District. Footage of captured wild horses presents a stark contrast to the horses running free on the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary.
Through a series of interviews with Dayton, his family and the volunteers at the sanctuary, Running Wild reveals Dayton Hyde’s extraordinary life and vision conveying the emotional healing that the sanctuary nurtures in Dayton, the volunteers and each and every horse that now runs free.
Beyond telling this intimate story have created a film that also serves as an enduring record of tales from “a West that was and will never be again.”
The Institute of Range and American Mustang (IRAM) founded by Dayton O. Hyde in 1988 is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporation registered in the state of South Dakota. The Institute’s federal tax number is 46-0401462.
IRAM owns 11,000 acres of private land dedicated to range preservation and a balanced ecosystem. IRAM’s finest gift is The Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, whose purpose is to provide not only freedom for unadoptable and unwanted wild horses, but also a research area dedicated to solving wild horse herd management that will contribute to the well-being of wild horses everywhere.
The Sanctuary and its staff and volunteers are devoted to the spirit of the wild mustangs by giving America’s unwanted wild horses a quality life. The Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary is a showcase where the public can see large herds of wild horses running free and come to understand our efforts toward land conservation and the preservation of our western heritage-America’s Wild Mustang!
I thought the movie was great and was surprised to see that Mr. Hyde was instrumental in helping to bring back the Sandhill and Whooping Crane species. His controversial methods eventually became adopted in conservation circles.
I was also surprised at how much this man is honored and revered by the Native Americans and fights for their rights as well.
I would recommend this movie. You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or
