World-Renowned Horse Trainer Appears in New Film Premiering at FWMSH
In the wide, sunbaked stretches of Northern Arizona, Clayson Benally learned early that the back of a horse is more than just a seat — it’s a place of freedom, connection, and understanding. No saddle, no reins, just a belt and a willingness to move with the rhythm of the animal beneath him. For Benally, an internationally recognized Diné (Navajo) artist, performer, and cultural practitioner, horses are not just creatures to ride — they are teachers, companions, and carriers of stories older than memory.
That sense of timeless connection lies at the heart of “Horse Power,” a Giant Screen documentary exploring humanity’s enduring bond with horses across continents and cultures. Premiering Jan. 16 at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History inside the newly revamped Jane & John Justin Foundation Omni Theater, the film arrives as a fitting opening note for the first day of the Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo.
