Running Wild Page #6

And the prep program, it's a

link between man and animal.

It rehabilitates the convicts

and gets the horses healthy

and ready for adoption.

So they all get a second chance.

What I have seen in the last 90

days on my ranch has been magical,

and I'm more proud of that than anything

I have ever done in my entire life.

So our horses will be auctioned off

this weekend at the Usa QHA regionals.

If any of you are

interested in adopting,

but let me warn you,

they are gorgeous.

Well, that's just about

enough of that, isn't it?

So let's get back to it,

shall we?

And, ladies, let's bring

on the food and the booze!

And let let's kick up the band,

'cause we all know why we're

here, it's giving season!

- Whoo!

You sure about this?

Meredith says

we need to recommit.

Are you gonna chicken out?

No.

Good.

Ready?

Stella, we've got

a major problem.

That crazy b*tch.

Well, we better get a move on it

if we're gonna get

these horses rounded up

before auction tomorrow.

Listen, I know that they're not

allowed to leave the property,

but I need their help

in bringing back these horses.

Sorry, ma'am, we can't.

We have to follow protocol.

You have other people here.

Why don't you get them to do it?

We don't have enough folks

to round up all these horses.

Plus, they're the trainers, these

horses will only come to them.

Hey, folks!

Welcome to Usa QHA regionals.

If you're participating

in tomorrow's auction,

please register over

at tent number four.

Looking forward

to seeing you there.

Hey! I got something!

Hey, you all! Hey,

Matt got something, come on!

Hey! There they are!

Go for Bratt.

Yeah, boss.

Yeah, we've got eight so far.

Almost got pinto.

Debrickshaw,

he's out looking for aces.

Good work, keep it up.

Come over here!

This way, come here!

You done now,

you little shitter?

Come on. Come on.

Settle here.

Only three left,

including buster.

I ain't worried.

He'll stick close to home.

What are you doing here?

They're tracks,

they definitely came this way.

- Yeah.

- Mrs. Stella, that woman was here.

She wanted to talk to you.

So I feel like

she didn't know anything.

Oh, I gave her a piece of mind.

Okay, thank you.

- What was that about?

- Meredith stopped by.

I mean, what could she

possibly be up to now?

Hey, there.

You must be one of those

guys they're looking for.

What are you doing?

What are you doing out here?

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Yeah, somebody trained

you really well.

Now, don't you move or

I'll be ass over teakettle,

and we don't want that, do we?

Come on now, aces.

Look, I know

you're scared, buddy.

I promise,

I ain't gonna hurt you.

No, that's the last

thing I wanna do, bro.

Whoa! Whoa!

Where are you going?

I got this, boss.

I was just taking him home.

Yeah, to put

firecrackers up his ass?

- I wouldn't do that.

- Yeah?

You're something else.

Sitting there acting like you don't

know what I'm talking about.

Come on!

I don't know what you're

talking about.

- Get off!

- Oh!

Hey, don't be afraid.

I would never hurt you

more than it hurt him.

I got you.

I got you.

The drought's killed

a lot of critters out here.

It's getting too dark

to follow the trail.

- I'm not quitting.

- No one's quitting.

The auction's not

'til 2pm tomorrow.

We'll get up at crack

of dawn and start again.

You're not gonna sleep?

Oh, no, I'm okay.

I just wanna thank you

for everything, Bratt.

Breaks my heart to think

about how far we've come

just to see it all fall apart.

We're gonna find those horses

and get back in time.

I hope so.

I was actually starting to

believe I could save the ranch.

Mr. JT told me a story once.

About how your great-grandmother

named the double diamond,

not 'cause diamonds are pretty

but 'cause they're unbreakable.

I was the one who

told him that story.

And I get it, toughen up, but I'm not

in the mood for a lesson right now.

I wasn't trying to

give you a lesson,

just tell you that

whatever happens tomorrow,

great-grandmother would be

proud to call you her blood.

You're a hell

of a woman, Stella.

There they are!

Damn it. You get this one,

I'll go after the other.

Don't come up here, Stella.

You don't want to see this.

Howdy, folks! All of you here for

the horse auction, come on in.

Sale's about to begin.

All in? All done?

Sold the horse 45,000 by 193.

45,000.

Just sold for 45,000.

Let's give him a hand.

Up next we have a herd of

13 horses from historical

double diamond horse ranch.

Ninety days ago these

horses were wild mustangs.

But since they have been trained

under the care

of Ms. Davis from the prep

program to be well broke horses.

This is a perfect fit for any

and all of your equine needs.

Alright, we got a nice

fine gelding right here.

Can anybody use this

horse right here for $500?

And 500.

Get 'em right here for 500.

400 then.

May I?

Thank you.

Hello, I'm Stella Davis,

I'm the owner of the

double diamond ranch.

I just felt I needed

to come up here

and remind you that

these noble creatures

helped build our country.

They carried cowboys

up the Chisholm trail,

mounted men through the Tetons

and settlers from the

east coast to the west.

And today, these mustangs

are helping troubled men

make a new beginning

with an old craft.

Horse training.

And in turn, these men

are giving these horses

a beautiful new start.

This is what our horses

looked like 90 days ago.

This is what they look like now.

The truth is, this majestic

animal needs our help.

Overpopulation,

drought and other factors

are leaving thousands of them

left to die out in the plains.

Some of you may have heard that

headline on a blog or something.

But I've seen the real thing.

And that....

That's as close as

25 miles from right here.

Don't come up here, Stella.

You don't want to see this.

Oh.

Are they all gonna

end up like this?

Yep, most likely.

I'm gonna go take some shots,

this is what people

really need to see.

Nothing we can do here.

We need to get back.

I'll, uh, talk to Bussey.

Let him know they're out here.

Hopefully he can do something.

Come on.

In this room, I see a

lot of different people

from very different backgrounds.

But we're all here today because

we agree on one simple thing.

We love horses.

Help us help these horses.

Thank you.

$400.

I got 400! Four, 500!

Anyone got 500?

And 500.

600, I have.

700. 700?

How about an 800?

- What are you doing?

- Buying a horse.

1,110? 1,100.

1,200.

1,300.

1,400.

All in? All done?

Sold the horse $1,400 by 178!

Yeah!

Good luck

with your continued work.

- Congratulations.

- Thanks.

You've got a great horse

here in old buster.

He'll do it for you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

that was the last

of the double diamond horses!

They love us!

No, man, they love our horses.

Uh, yeah, right.

Us and our horses.

I think we're off to a start.

Turns out I'm pretty good

with horses.

Yeah, pretty good.
