"This lovely coffee table book illustrates the plight of wild horse herds throughout Western America and focusing on the Southwestern corner of Wyoming. There is excellent material for everyone interested in the subject. First are the gorgeous pictures which portray the wide variety of wild horses. Although there are the expected telephoto pictures, what is far more impressive are the close-up shots, This author/photographer is an extraordinarily brave lady. She actually got out and walked amongst the herds, sitting down on the ground in front of them, even when concerned herd stallions came charging up to a stop five feet in front of her. They could have easily trampled her to death. She has to have nerves of steel and a sense of equine knowledge and trust far greater than many

This is further illustrated by her straight forward language she uses to tell the plight of these horses as cattlemen and sheepherders attempt to run the wild animals off the range. Ms Walker explains in detail the day to day lives within the herds, how each is protected by a herd stallion who has to take on all challengers to his breeding rights. She also explains the roles played by various horses within the herds and how nature cuts back the possibility of too much inbreeding. She fairly portrays the various parties involved in the issue of wild equines and their various agendas. The combination of beautiful pictures and cogent writing makes this coffee table book a fascinating read. We rated it four hearts.

September Photo Book Reviews: By Elizabeth Powis

One of the largest wild horse herds in the United States, and the largest in the state of Wyoming, is the subject of Carol Walker’s book. She spends four years documenting the lives of seven bands (families) before they were eventually rounded up and removed from the area. Walker has a passion for the future of these wild horses that are decreasing in numbers in the US. She uses amazing photographs and her own experiences to tell their story. Walker talks about the land mismanagement and suggestions for future protection from large wild horse removals, which continue to threaten an already declining population. We are encouraged, as US citizens, to stand up and make a difference for these true symbols of the American west heritage and for the sake of the animals themselves. These creatures should have the right to roam free with their families without being disturbed.
