Description
Dayton O. Hyde acts as a guide to the natural history, behavior, and future chances of the wild horses that survive across the U.S.-from the mustangs of the West to the ponies of Assoteague and Chincoteague islands; he writes as well of his personal experiences with wild horses around the globe, from the ghostly white horses of the French Camargue to zebras in Africa. Beautifully illustrated with the work of Rita and Charles Summers, renowned photographers of the world's wild horses, this arresting book truly conveys the nature, and the plight, of these splendid animals.
Reviews / Votes
News Day,Dec. 8, 2006"With their flying manes and wilderness-honed physiques, the fenceless equines of "All the Wild Horses" exude ferocity, power and the intoxication of freedom ... all the while reminding us of how fragile their tenure is in the handful of places that accommodate them."
Detroit Free Press, Dec. 9, 2006
"The stunning photographs and passionate essays will mesmerize more than just horse lovers." The Northwest Horse Source, December 2006
"Exquisite volume that features outstanding photography and a limited but informative text." Trail Rider Magazine, March 2007
"Features unforgettable images by noted photographers Charles and Rita Summers."
Horses in Art, Summer 2007
