152: The Unlikely Survivors of White Sands.

Wild horses for generations have lived within the fences of White Sands Missile Range, surviving an atomic bomb and other military testing. When the nation finally takes notice of the unlivable conditions they have been struggling in, an experienced veterinarian is brought in to lead their rescue mission.
