The spirit of the Horse

Taken in some of the most lovely and awe-inspiring locations in America--from the rugged mountains of the North-west to the gentle slopes of the South--and accompanied by verse, stories, and essays by equine lovers past and present--these pictures reflect the unbroken spirit of creature and nature. Sunsets and first steps, in the herd and in the paddock, Dawson allows us a stilled glimpse of what first drew people to horses and Americans to the West. Robert Dawson, when not on location, lives in Oregon. Tammy LeRoy is a freelance journalist; she lives in Phoenix, Arizona. Dawson and LeRoy also collaborated on Along the Cowboy Trail and The Spirit of the Performance Horse.
