Salt Lake City, UT – The horse has figured prominently in the history and the myth of the American West. But today, where horses run wild, author Deanne Stillman says that dwindling protections and ever-encroaching civilization is threatening its very survival. Wednesday, Stillman joins Doug for a conversation about horses - from their return to America with the conquistadors - to their starring role on the frontier - to the peril Stillman says they face today.
