The Lost Horses of the Namib - running wild and free,
The Lost Horses of the Namib survive in a desert which is hostile and
remote. Some 80 years ago their thoroughbred ancestors were left to fend
for themselves after the death, in action, of their aristocratic German
owner. Since then they have adapted and endured.

This film tells the story of the foal, Silver Blaze
and his group. A relentless drought tests the horses to their limits and
beyond: they must make the life threatening journey to and from their
food source and water. Eventually, conservation authorities step in to
help them. This help, however, has far reaching effects and dramatic fights
between the stallions ensue. When the rains finally come, the savage desert
is transformed into a colourful paradise for this unique herd.
