A true horse-lovers book with an inspirational message of caring, this volume features the horses and stories of the most important refuges--from the rugged grasslands of South Dakota where wild mustangs can run free, to an oasis in the Arizona desert for mares. The indomitable spirit of a wild horse running free has become a symbol of America. However, many of these noble creatures are fighting for their survival. In powerful portrait and location photography and compelling stories told for the first time--further strengthened by the voice of Temple Grandin--this unprecedented work reveals the nature of wild horses, as well as their rescue and rehabilitation.

Reviews"As founder of America's only organization created specifically to support and provide resources to this country's equine welfare community, I am pleased to see the tireless and compassionate efforts of the men and women who give so much of themselves to saving, rehabbing, and re-homing or providing permanent sanctuary to these animals finally recognized." ~Shirley Puga, National Equine Resource Network "Horse Sanctuary is a beautiful book about the relationship between people and horses." ~Temple Grandin, Author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make us Human "This lovely book captures the spirit and beauty of horses-even those who have been so mistreated. Thank you for making your gorgeous subjects known, loved, and appreciated." ~Hope Ryden, author of America's Last Wild Horses "Heartwarming stories and luscious photographs of animals who have been saved from cruelty and neglect to find an abundance of love and care in thirteen extraordinary equine sanctuaries across America. A book full of kindness and grace that will make you happy." ~Susan Richards, New York Times best-selling author of Chosen by a Horse "Alison Milionis and Karen Tweedy-Holmes have done a purely masterful job of bringing the reader to the inner world of equine sanctuaries and rescues.

"I would like to compliment Karen Tweedy-Holmes and Allison Milionis on this wonderful job of presenting the work of those of us who have made it our life's work to offer refuge to America's displaced equines.

Thank you for making your gorgeous subjects known, loved, and appreciated." ~Hope Ryden, author of America''s Last Wild Horses "This is one of the most interesting and helpful books on a specific animal species that I have seen. Horses have played such an important part in human lives and yet they may suffer from abuse, neglect and human ignorance. In this book, 13 of America's most effective sanctuaries for equines are visited. There are unforgettable stories of horses and their rescuers and their rehabilitation efforts. And if anyone wants to learn more or help, there is a directory of contact information on the sanctuaries covered as well as one for additional resources. But, as much as this book is for animal/horse lovers, it is also for photographers. The images of the animals are great lessons in how to approach and develop a portfolio on one subject. There are many beautiful photographs that capture the spirit of the horses and the compassion of the rescuers." ~ Apogee Photo, Inc. "Not only is this book filled with beautiful images of horses, but it also tells the stories of 13 horse sanctuaries across the U.S. Each has its own individual mission, but there's a shared passion for rescuing horses. This is not your average "horse coffee table book"; this book is something special." ~Design Sponge "In words and photographs, this necessary book pays tribute to those who take care of our equine castaways. Find out who they are, help them in your own way-and learn their stories." ~Deanne Stillman, author of Mustang: The Saga of the Wild Horse in the American West, a LA Times best book of the year "Heartwarming stories and luscious photographs of animals who have been saved from cruelty and neglect to find an abundance of love and care in thirteen extraordinary equine sanctuaries across America.

Superb work on the subject
Well, I love it, but in the interest of full disclosure, it's my own book. Two years in the making with much passion and devotion to the subject. It's my magnum opus, and it's out of print, so I have to go online to get more copies.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
