 Filmmakers from Denmark at Wild Horse Rescue Center Mia Nielsen, Tanya Flodgraad, and Thomas Graholy of Kontinent Film are currently filming Mustangs at WHRC. They are making a documentary about America's wild horses. Nielsen, a horse behavioral therapist and natural horsemanship trainer, is working with five wild Mustangs to demonstrate how wild horses behave, think, and communicate. She wants people will use this knowledge in order to create better training methods and relationships with their horses. She is also deeply concerned about the future of wild horses in America.
