A pilot programme, shot in the Australian Outback, for a National Geographic global documentary series on wild horses.

The programme documented the aerial mustering of "brumbies" (wild horses) in Kings Canyon, located in the Red Centre of Australia. The topography of this rugged, unforgiving outback region dictates that the annual muster is done by the "cowboys of the air" (Sky Cowboys) - whose mini-helicopters have become modern day stallions. On this production, seven helicopters were involved in seeking out and rounding up several thousand head of brumbies>

Once they have been successfully driven into the coralls by the pilots, they are checked for health and physique before eventually being released into the Outback again.

The aerial content of the film was shot handheld with an Arri 16SR11 from a Hughes 300 helicopter.
