A cynic could wield a lash against "Wild Horse, Wild Ride," but the golden vistas, galloping horses and gracious humans tame us.

Joe Williams
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Frustrations abound with this limited film, but Wild Horse, Wild Ride does one thing exceptionally well, and that is convey the emotional bond between trainer and horse.

Kimberley Jones
Austin Chronicle
With its gorgeous big-sky vistas, stirring shots of the majestic mustangs and intimate bits between trainers and trainees, "Wild Horse" proves a warm and memorable ride.

Los Angeles Times
This documentary shows the beginning of some beautiful friendships.

Daniel M. Gold
New York Times
This gorgeous-looking documentary is crying out to be remade as a family film feature.

Joe Neumaier
New York Daily News
If this sounds like the premise of one of those tiresome Discovery Channel docu-tainments, it's because it essentially is, only heavily abbreviated to fit the feature-film format.

August 23, 2012 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Calum Marsh
Slant Magazine
With a little more narrative structure there is certainly a compelling subject here. But there is no sense of urgency, no immediacy to keep it going.

August 6, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Matthew Lucas
From the Front Row
Spreads the narrative too thin and becomes repetitious over the course of three exhausting months.

Kiko Martinez
San Antonio Current
Moving docu shows depth of human-horse bond.

January 28, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Tracy Moore
Common Sense Media
A solid little snapshot of sub-cultural curiosity -- engaging and big-hearted, if sometimes politely incurious about the disparate motivations of its subjects.

Brent Simon
Shared Darkness
There's nothing fancy about the technical package...but the beauty of the land and the horses themselves, and the varied personalities of the trainers, more than carry the film.

Sarah Boslaugh
PopMatters
These everyday horse whisperers, and their noble steeds, are an inspiration to all.
