Corral is a 1954 National Film Board of Canada documentary by Colin Low, partly shot in the Cochrane Ranch in what is now Cochrane, Alberta. In the film, a cowboy rounds up wild horses, lassoing one of the high-spirited animals in the corral, then going on a ride across the Rocky Mountain Foothills of Alberta.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Colin Low shot this between his famous animated shorts, proving he could master live action just as flawlessly.
This quietly became a template for the 'visual essay' documentary style later perfected by filmmakers like Godfrey Reggio.
