All The Wild Horses By: Dayton O. Hyde, 10 3/4" x12 1/4"
coffee table book with photos by Rita and Charles Summers. 208
pages.
Wild horses endure thanks to the likes of
old-time cowboy Dayton O. Hyde. In the 1980's, he witnessed some of
America's surviving wild mustangs being rounded up and sent to
slaughter; it pulled at his heart, and he vowed to do something
about it. In 1988, he established The Black Hills Wild Horse
Sanctuary to protect these majestic horses. In All the Wild
Horses, Dayton shares his personal stories and colorful
insights on the natural history, behavior, spirit and survival
of these animals. Through his firsthand experience, Dayton
knows these horses like few others anywhere. He also examines
the plight of other wild horses around the globe – from
the famous ponies of Chincoteague and Assateague to the ghostly
white horses of the French Camargue and other breeds in Europe,
Asia and Africa.
Rita and Charles Summers' glorious photographs of wild horses span the
world. Their work has appeared in numerous books and magazines,
including National Geographic, Audubon, National Wildlife,
International Wildlife, Sierra Club, Nature's Best and
innumerable calendars, cards and posters. Charlie was honored
as th BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
