As narrated by actress Ali MacGraw, Horses of the West: America's Love Story is about horses and the people who love them. The story is an emotional journey filmed on the dramatic landscape of the American West. Segments include wild horses and the prisoners who train and love them; the horses of the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary rescued from a grim fate; the exquisite grace of Arabians who may be the royalty of the horse world; working quarter horses on the ranch of famed author Thomas McGuane; the striking beauty of spotted Appaloosas and their Nez Perce heritage; and the heart-warming story of therapy horses at the National Ability Center and the children they have helped so dramatically. All celebrate the connection between horses and humans.
