I Chase Wild Horses In North America To Photograph Their Beauty
When I was 6 years old I had to get my bottom lip sewn back in place. But let’s not start there.
It was a beautiful day on the farm and I was riding my horse Flicka. Out of nowhere she spooked and took off. She started to throw monstrous kicks — one, two, three and eventually my 6 year old little arms gave out and off I went, over her head and down into the dirt on mine.
When we arrived at the hospital witnesses said it looked like I was just pulled from a car crash. Most of the skin on my stomach and chest was gone and blood was dropping everywhere. A few teeth were missing, and my bottom lip was hanging where it shouldn’t.
Fast-forward some 23 years and I now drive around North America searching out wild and some domesticated horses to photograph. The lessons I learned that summer day are still with me. A profound respect and understanding for the horse.

Horses are amazing and beautiful creatures, and more when they are in the wild.

Awesome photos, thank you. Horses have helped humans throughout history, I wish everyone would give them respect they deserve.

Hopefully there will still be wild horses to photograph after the BLM is done rounding them up.

Now...if only the BLM would take note and leave the creatures alone, instead of rounding them up and destroying them. They are beautiful and majestic!

...Does the United States have WILD Norwegian Fjord Horses roaming about? If so... how did that happen? Beautiful pictures none the less.

Did you ever do as the proverb says: Did you get back on a horse again after you healed? How many wild horses exist in the U.S.?
