Trailer Synopsis Cast

100 Days. 100 gritty souls. 100 wild mustangs. That's the premise of the annual Extreme Mustang Makeover, a competition that challenges horse trainers - both pros and amateurs - to each tame a totally wild horse in order to get it adopted into a better life beyond U.S. Government corrals. Intimately following a handful of participants in the 2009 event from their first uneasy meeting with their horses and up through the competition and adoption, the film documents the deep and profound bonds that can develop between man and beast.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

OK, I confess. I am an extreme horse lover and advocate who has been involved in equine activity for most of my life. So it's not a surprise that I absolutely loved this documentary. However, I sat next to a group that weren't fellow horse lovers and they felt the same way! The documentary not only shows the bond the trainers and horses develop, but it takes you on the journey with the trainers that fall in love with these amazing animals. Wylene, the most animated trainer, kept the documentary light when it became intense and heart-wrenching as did the cynical friends of Melissa. A beautifully shot and inspiring documentary about an incredible foundation saving America's wild mustangs! This is a documentary that I hope to see again!

This film is so heartwarming and powerful. The bonds between the horses and the trainers are incredibly moving - I had no idea that training a horse could be so difficult! Each of the trainers has their own set of trials and tribulations to get over with each of the horses. Watching them get through to the horses is such a moving experience. This movie changed the way I see and think about horses and trainers for the rest of my life. In fact, because of this movie, I'm now saving up to try and get horse lessons. These creatures, these horses deserve our affection and this movie brought that to my attention. I highly recommend this film to anyone who has ever had a beloved pet, or known someone who has loved a pet because if you care about animals at all, you should totally watch this movie.

While I do not think of myself as much of a horse person, I found this documentary incredibly enjoyable from start to finish. Directors Dawson and Gricus present the Extreme Mustang Makeover in a positive and uplifting light that transcends many other equine films out there. My favorite part of the documentary was its focus on the journey of the relationships between the trainers and their mustangs from Day 1 to Day 100. As someone who has had various pets, to see the bond between horse and human was definitely worth cherishing. Overall, I really loved this movie and I can't wait to get a chance to see it again. A definite recommendation to all!

The best people / horse film I have ever seen. The most amazing characters more than any documentary maker could ever ask for..I wanted them all to win both horse and trainer! Each story's was so unique and challenging. The variety of people willing to take and meet this challenge was extraordinary. The gentling and bonding between man and horse and woman and horse was beautiful to watch their unique connection was incredible. The fact that it was done in 100 days with wild hoses, was a lesson to all of us about the spirit of these stunning creatures. Each horse was a character of its own and was as equally unique as their human counterpart in the story.
