Freedom is found in their mane!

"In their innocence and wisdom, in their connection to the earth and its most ancient rhythms, animals show us the way back to home they have never left." ~Susan Chernak McElory

My beautiful, my beautiful! That standest meekly by, with thy proudly arched and glossy neck and dark and fiery eye! ~Caroline Norton

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy,
Or beauty without vanity?
Here, where grace is served with muscle
And strength by gentleness confined
He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.
~Ronald Duncan, "The Horse," 1954
{my favorite!!!}

I adore the work of Tony Stromberg! He brings us into the world of horses. His photographs capture the spirit, innocence, and at the same time, the strength of equus. In Tonys' own words, “The spirit of the horse is a magnificent teacher to humanity." I was unable to get some of my favorites so I highly recommend you go to his sight and see these amazing images.
