Saddle up for this documentary about a Blackfoot rodeo family
captures the inspiring story of Logan Red Crow, daughter to Allison and Clarence Red Crow, a somewhat-progressive Siksika cowboy from the Blackfoot Territory of Alberta, Canada.
For the Red Crows, horses are a way of life, and racing their thoroughbreds in one of the world’s most dangerous horse races, the Indian Relay, the thrill of it. Unfortunately, even in the 21st century, there are obstacles set in place that make it harder for a young woman to follow her passions, especially in a male-centered medium. Yet Clarence is beyond proud of Logan’s devotion to his way of life, reminiscing of the days when, as a 3-year-old, she would hang on to his belt like reins as he chased down wild horses that had to be tamed before they could be raced.
But much like those horses, tempering Logan’s passion for equine speed proves quite the chore. And although he loves showing others that “Native women can do anything they want,” the more Logan races, the more her father worries she’ll wind up in a wheelchair, and so spends as much time trying to talk her into focusing on school as he does training her to transfer – the most dangerous part of the race as the riders pull into the stall, come to a sudden stop, and jump off one horse onto another.
