Stunning full-color photographs and insightful writings celebrate the healing potential of the human-horse relationship.
What is it about horses that draws people in so deeply? Why is it that horses hold meaning and symbolism across cultures around the world? Why do so many experience horses as not just beautiful creatures but as wise and healing teachers? These are some of the questions revered equine photographer Tony Stromberg set out to answer with his best photos from the last half decade.
To augment the eloquence of his images, he pairs them with the insights and perspectives of people as diverse as dressage expert Dominique Barbier, natural horsemanship teachers Buck Brannaman and Chris Irwin, and psychologist Carl Jung. The resulting combination highlights and honors the mysterious ways in which horses and humans can "bring out the best, the highest, and the most powerful in each other."
