"A searingly beautiful tribute to wild Mustang family groups that have been reunited after suffering roundup and separation in the American West. In 1971, the US Congress passed an act that declared wild horses and burros as "living symbols of the American West" that should, therefore, be protected. But since then, the US Bureau of Land Management-charged with the management of the Mustang population-has rounded up over a quarter of a million horses, often using helicopters. In these intense and frightening scenarios, it is not unusual for wild horses to suffer catastrophic injury as they desperately fight to escape or to reach family members from whom they have been separated. The Skydog Ranch and Sanctuary covers over 9,000 acres in Malibu, California, and Bend, Oregon, where wild horse advocates are working tirelessly to save these captured Mustangs from certain death through "kill pens" or a life of captivity in institutional "holding pens" and return them to freedom. To date Skydog has rescued over 300 wild horses and 50 donkeys and mules, with a special focus on finding and reuniting bonded families who may have once roamed the West together but who were separated during the roundup and "adoption" process. In this striking book, gorgeously illustrated with hundreds of dramatic photographs, Skydog founder Clare Staples recounts heartbreaking tales of liberty lost and the dramatic extents to which some Mustangs will go to flee captivity or rejoin their family bands. She describes the mission that drives her and the Skydog team to identify and locate iconic wild horses that have been removed from public lands, and then secure them in order to assure them freedom at the Sanctuary for their remaining years-whenever possible, in the company of their original wild herdmates. Readers meet Blue Zeus, the stunning Wyoming stallion who Staples admired in the wild for years before, in the fall of 2020, his herd was slated for roundup and captured, in one day losing both their freedom and each other. The story of the urgent search for him and his mares and foals, and their eventual reunion in the hills of Oregon, encapsulates all that Skydog hopes to accomplish for hundreds more horses in the years ahead. Incredibly moving, inspiring, and offering the hope of wildness and beauty preserved for future generations, this book is for every animal lover and all those who honor the natural inhabitants of the American West. A percentage of all sales goes toward supporting Skydog Ranch and Sanctuary"--

"Wild horses thrived for thousands of generations in the mountains, forests, and deserts of the American West. Their family herds existed in environmental harmony until man chose to "manage" them. Since then, every day more of America's wild horses disappear. But courageous people are trying very hard to reverse this, most notably, young people who feel a kinship with these often misunderstood creatures."--Provided by publisher.

An exciting follow-up from the bestselling author of How Good Riders Get Good and Know Better to Do Better. We all start somewhere with horses. As a toddler on a pony. As a teenager with friends who ride. As an adult who always loved horses, but life just got in the way…until now. Some of us start over. We sell our horses to go to school, to have careers or babies (or both). We decide to quit dressage and start reining. We fall off…and get back on. There are all sorts of beginning places, and they can be for the first time or after a “gap.” They can mean you are beginning, or your horse is. They can mean you barely got started, or you started badly. Renowned horseman Denny Emerson knows all about the importance of these beginnings. Through an impressive career in the saddle that spans decades, he has worked with all different breeds, competed at the top international levels of eventing and endurance, lost horses and found new ones, taught young riders and adult amateurs, traded Western tack for English and back again, been injured…only to rehab, climb back in the saddle, and start over. In his third book, Emerson once again masterfully intertwines his entertaining reflections from a life embedded in the equestrian world with serious philosophical questions faced by the industry today and practical advice honed by his immense experience. Readers will discover: How to make your beginning with horses easier…and how to make it harder. How having the right horse versus having the wrong horse can affect a beginning…or mean you should begin again. The importance of a team (family, friends, trainers, coaches) you trust and rely upon. Ways to identify how you learn, see, hear, and feel, and how to apply that knowledge with horses. The need for knowing how far you want to go and how much are you willing to give up to go there. With inspirational stories of beginning and beginning again from top equestrians, as well as personal reflections from “regular” horse people around the world, these pages promise to inspire a start or a change, and provide a roadmap we all can follow, whatever our ambitions. Emerson reassures us that it doesn’t matter where your beginning point is—start where you are. And, even better, there is a do-over button—you just have to decide to push it. This book is for every horse person who continues to dream of something else or something more, and just needs someone to say: “Begin.”

Dayton O. Hyde acts as a guide to the natural history, behavior, and future chances of the wild horses that survive across the U.S.—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.
