FEARLIS: THE DOCUMENTARY

Take a young woman with a passion for horses looking for a grand adventure, add American Mustangs and a host of guest riders and you have the ingredients for the “Mustang Discovery Ride.” This documentary project tells the story of a journey across the United States on the American Discovery Trail (ADT) featuring Mustang trainer, Lisanne Fear, along with her Mustangs, dogs and support team.

A MUSTANG STORY: THE DOCUSERIES

The docuseries will follow up some of the struggles and triumphs that Lisanne and the Mustangs encountered on the trail, most attributed to the kindness of strangers met along the journey. We will also feature aspects of the ADT in each state, Mustang adoptions inspired by the project, college and university equine programs utilizing Mustangs, Veterans Programs in existence and other Mustang-related stories.

The Podcast

Become a Supporter: Help The Cause

"A Mustang Story" is a media project covering the 2021/2022 Mustang Discovery Ride through the upcoming documentary, FearLis.  The Documentary tells the story of Lisanne Fear, founder of The Mustang Discovery Foundation, and her journey across the United States on the American Discovery Trail (ADT) along with her Mustangs, dogs and support team. The team covered 12 states, coast to coast from Delaware to California, riding previously wild Mustangs while packing, camping and speaking about the power of these amazing animals. The Docuseries, A Mustang Story, will continue the effort to bring attention to these living legends with episodes covering people and programs across the country featuring Mustang attributes and successes. 


While the ride itself is a separate funding project, JA Media Productions is producing the media coverage through the film, docuseries and podcast. Costs have included travel expenses, production time and filming, equipment/rentals and now post-production through editing and graphic design, music rights and insurance. 


The support and contributions received will enable us to meet our goal of producing a moving, comprehensive documentary, as well as continuing the story through the series. Your generous donation will fund the mission.
