“There’s nothing like partnering with an animal that is used to describe every kind of power that travels.”
“When you’re flying around on the top of an animal, you can’t imagine doing anything else. You need it, you want it, you dream about it … it’s always on your mind.”
“You become literally and figuratively elevated.”
Desert Flight describes itself as “a love letter to the sport of show jumping,” but anyone with an unquenchable thirst for flight aboard the back of a horse will appreciate this documentary short film directed by Samia Staehle. Certainly eventers, with our passion for running and jumping, will find much here to which we can relate. What is it that drives us to hinge our lives upon this pursuit?
Set in Thermal, California, the 39-minute film is as vivid and powerful as its equine subjects. It has been well received at limited screenings, including the 2018 World Equestrian Games in Tryon and the 2018 Equus Film Festival, where it was named “Best of Festival” as well as “Best Sports Documentary.” Most recently, it was screened to an appreciate audience at last week’s US Equestrian Annual Meeting in West Palm Beach, Florida.
For a limited time beginning at 5 p.m. EST today, you can stream the film in its entirety via USEF Network. Click here to watch! Free fan memberships are available using code “DesertFlight.”
