Since early spring my some of my riders and their families have put in hour after tedious, sweat-filled hour, preparing our pastures and training facility for the documentary that we filmed yesterday. They weeded, painted, built and planned for the big day of filming. The documentary will focus on the off site breeding program for the Corollas and will demonstrate what first rate horses the Corollas can become. As more people are exposed to these spectacular horses support will increase for efforts to keep a herd of Corollas wild and free.
Joe Davenport and Mark Stevenson spent the day behind the cameras. The raw footage that I have seen exceeds my wildest expectations.
Had you been there yesterday watching the filming you most certainly would have been struck by the conduct of my little riders. I had kids from age four to seventeen working in this production. They acted like adults who really cared about what they were doing.
My little riders know that not only are they learning natural horsemanship and riding, they are doing something very important. They are working to save the Corollas. They are rightfully proud of the work that they put into promoting these horses.
Indeed, for life to have meaning it is important to do important things.
As an adult in the background watching everything going on, ALL OF THE RIDERS, especially the NEW and younger ones did a great job! Everyone was patient as the documentary was being filmed and each graciously took turns so ALL riders had a chance to be a part of the documentary.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that all of the Mill Swamp Indian Horse Riders and FAMILY are very proud to assist Steve in this documentary, especially because it will help help promote keeping the Corolla Spanish Mustang 'Wild and Free'.
Steve and his program at Mill Swamp is unique and offers an abundance of commaraderie.
