The Island Project – UK

52:44 min  Directed by: Sam Fleet

Meet the inspirational Emma Massingale. The professional horse trainer from Devon, UK, is taking on her biggest ever challenge. Using only her incredible horse sense, she’ll try to ride two wild ponies who have, up to now, been virtually untouched by human hand. No tack, no ropes, no boundaries. Just Emma, six Connemara ponies and a 70-acre island off the west coast of Ireland. Imagine no longer. Life is an adventure.

Former Jockey, now Visual Director for Equine Productions. Nathan's ambition is to bring the creative world together with the world of horses, to inspire and engage people that have no clue about the equine world and show horses in a visually stunning and engaging way and to inspire a younger generation to get involved with these beautiful animals.
