Praise for the hardcover edition of All the Wild Horses, now in paperback
“There is no better book for horse lovers or anyone interested in the horse as an icon of the American West.” –Booklist
“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.”
–News Day
“Features unforgettable images by noted photographers Charles and Rita Summers.”
–Trail Rider Magazine
“A fine art book to be savored and revisited.”
–Horses in Art
“The stunning photographs and passionate essays will mesmerize more than just horse lovers.”
–Detroit Free Press
“Exquisite volume that features outstanding photography and a limited but informative text.”
–The Northwest Horse Source
In All the Wild Horses founder of the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary and a lifelong rancher, Dayton O. Hyde acts as a guide to the natural history, behavior, and future chances of the wild horses that survive across the United States, 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.
