Ginger Kathrens is an Emmy-winning TV documentary producer and president of Taurus Productions. Her documentary filming trips have taken her to Africa, Asia, Europe, Central and South America, and all over the United States. But, it is Cloud's spectacular wilderness that holds the most appeal. Her first Nature documentary, Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies won numerous film festival prizes and the companion book won the Colorado Book Award for young readers in 2002. Ginger worked on over twenty segments of the PBS half-hour series Wild America from 1987 to 1996, including the two-part program Year of the Mustang, which introduced her to the Arrowhead Mountains and Raven's (Cloud's father) band in early 1994. Since that time, Ginger has spent thousands of hours observing wild horses all over the western United States as well as on Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia. She is a founder of the Wild Horse and Burro Freedom Alliance dedicated to the preservation of wild horses on public lands (www.savewildhorses.
