Krysta Nicole Rutherford completed the film at the age of 16. She attends Hampton Roads Academy (HRA) and is a member of the Mill Swamp Indian Horse Youth Program. She has led an effort to save the Colonial Spanish Mustang since she adopted her Corolla mustang, Katalina, in 2013. She reached over 50,000 people with her previous "Saving The Mustangs" project.
