I’m a film fan and enjoy that my town, Bend, Ore., celebrates independent filmmakers each year at the BendFilm Festival. And if a horse film is screening during BendFilm, I make sure to see it.

This year’s selection included “Herd in Iceland,”  a beautiful documentary short (28 minutes) about Icelandic horses in their native country. The film by Lindsay Blatt and Paul Taggart earned a documentary short special mention at BendFilm. Additionally, it won Best Short Documentary at the Black Hills Film Festival in Hills, S.D., and is an award winner in the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis, Ind., where it’s showing Oct. 20-26, 2013.
