Thursday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m., Sea View Theatre
— from Elsa Sinclair —
The movie “Taming Wild” is playing at the Sea View Theatre!
Having premiered at the Equus Film Festival in New York City, and shown to sold out theaters in Seattle, we are excited to be bringing this movie home to its birth place in the San Juan Islands.
In this film, San Juan Island Horse Trainer, Elsa Sinclair explores the questions:
- What if horses were given a choice? Would they let us ride them? Without force or tools to control, and without bribes to lure them?
- Could I start with a wild horse, free and unfettered, develop a language with her, build a system of communication and convince her to let me ride, voluntarily?
- Could this wild horse and I connect in a way so magnetic, beautiful and irresistible that force, tools and bribes were proven unnecessary?
This was a process that begged to be documented. And so with the help of some amazing friends, I dove headlong into the project, followed by videographers, and photographers who helped me record it all.
Come find out on Thursday June 2nd at the Seaview Theater. Elsa Sinclair will be at the screening for a brief intro to the movie and a Q&A afterwards. Suggested donation at the door $10.

This is a most incredible film! But it is no surprise to those who know a most incredible, determined and very gifted young woman named Elsa Sinclair!
The film is far more than just training a mustang(as if that isn’t enough in itself)It is also about how we are so very connected to animals, Mother Nature and each other through honest relationships.
I have had the priviledge to study horsemanship for several years with Elsa. She is a rare and exceptional human being in more ways than just her abilities with horses. Come and meet her and see what I thought was not possible to accomplish!
