It's the story of a famous New York fashion photographer whose search for true beauty takes him to Sable Island where he documents wild horses as the ultimate supermodels and returns to share his discovery with the beautiful people of New York. Sable Island, a remote island located off the shores of Nova Scotia in the stormiest part of the North Atlantic, has a mysterious history. It is so ringed with shipwrecks (over 500) that it is known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. For hundreds of years most believed the herd of wild horses that roam the sandy dunes were survivors of shipwrecks, and their fight for survival to this very day is an epic struggle. For Roberto their struggle to survive is just one aspect of their undeniable wild beauty. In Chasing Wild Horses, we follow Roberto on his return voyage to the island during the foaling season, to meet up with the characters he lovingly photographed years past, and to see how they have changed, how the island has changed, and particularly how this voyage will change Roberto. Life for these horses is always difficult due to the extreme weather that surrounds this tiny island, but what is proving to be more dangerous is the effects of human contact. Through his art, Roberto wants to bring attention to Sable Island and support the various organizations dedicated to preserving the beauty of an island untouched. He believes that the people of New York City will band together to protect and preserve the horses of Sable Island forever.
