action

Herds of wild horses inhabit the Red Desert of Wyoming . In such a herd there is a bitter fight between a black mustang and a palomino , which the palomino wins. He continues to lead the herd. The herd is observed by Frank Robbins, who catches herds of wild horses and uses the animals for rodeos , for example , but also has them tamed and sells them to farmers. Wild herds of horses are considered a nuisance as they destroy pastureland.

Frank Robbins and his employees build an enclosure for wild horses, prepare a path for the horses to use and a little later have the herd rounded up by light aircraft and driven into the prepared enclosures. They are partially separated there after the battle between the Mustang and the Palomino for supremacy in the herd has started again. Mares stay together with their foals, the stallions are branded, partially ridden or shown at the rodeo without rider. Numerous rodeo scenes, in which the stallion always throws the rider off after a very short time, follow. The fight of the wild horses is in vain for the captured herd.

Awards

Fight of the Wild Stallions was nominated in 1948 for an Oscar in the category " Best Short Film (two film roles) ", but could not prevail against Climbing the Matterhorn .
