Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to wildlife photography and want to see stunning colour images of horses in their natural habitat, not staged or domesticated.
You care about wild mustang conservation and want to understand these animals as individuals with personalities and family structures.
You appreciate illustrated nonfiction that tells stories through both words and extraordinary photography rather than just facts.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a how-to guide on training or owning horses. This is observation and art, not instruction.
You prefer dense text-heavy books. This is primarily a visual experience with supportive narrative.
You have no interest in wildlife or nature photography as a medium for storytelling.

About this book

Wild Horses of the West is a finalist for the Reading the West Book Award for illustrated nonfiction. The book offers an intimate look at wild horses living on public lands in the Mountain West, providing access to a world most people rarely see. Photographer Jan Drake documents specific horses known in these areas, including The Old Man, One Ear, and the Cremello Brothers, whom she has followed with her camera for years. The book contains more than 200 color photographs organized into sections: Family Bands, Mares and Foals, Fighting Mustangs, Stallions and Bachelors, and Cedar Mountain Mustangs.
