Guided by Horses

FILM DETAILS

TRAILER

Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Australia’s Kimberley region, Guided by Horses is a visually stunning and deeply uplifting documentary about the extraordinary bond between humans and horses. Surrounded by vast wilderness, turquoise coastlines, and ancient Country, young people and children on the autism spectrum discover a new sense of confidence, connection, and belonging through their encounters with a remarkable herd of horses.

At the heart of the story is Aboriginal Professor Juli Coffin, whose life was transformed by horses and who has created a unique sanctuary where people and animals come together in unexpected ways. As wild horses reveal their intelligence, sensitivity, and ability to mirror human emotions, participants embark on journeys of self-discovery guided not by words, but by trust, instinct, and connection.

Filled with breathtaking natural beauty, unforgettable animal encounters, and inspiring personal stories, Guided by Horses is a cinematic celebration of nature’s power to heal and transform. Warm, hopeful, and emotionally resonant, the film offers a universal story about finding strength, balance, and purpose through our connection with the natural world.
