This lovely book captures the spirit and beauty of horsesñeven those who have been so mistreated. Thank you for making your gorgeous subjects known, loved, and appreciated.
Hope Ryden, author of America's Last Wild Horses

This is one of the most interesting and helpful books on a specific animal species that I have seen.  Horses have played such an important part in human lives and yet they may suffer from abuse, neglect and human ignorance.  In this book, 13 of America’s most effective sanctuaries for equines are visited.  There are unforgettable stories of horses and their rescuers and their rehabilitation efforts.  It is inspirational to learn about the good works that are being done in these sanctuaries stretching from one coast to the other.  And if anyone wants to learn more or help, there is a directory of contact information on the sanctuaries covered as well as one for additional resources. But, as much as this book is for animal/horse lovers, it is also for photographers.  The images of the animals are great lessons in how to approach and develop a portfolio on one subject.  There are many beautiful photographs that capture the spirit of the horses and the compassion of the rescuers.  It is a lesson that any photographer, regardless of the subject, might learn.

Ingredients of Karen Tweedy-Holmes' photographic content are easy to identify: ardency for subject; devotion to art; and unique expertise. 230 superb photos are tabulated: 117 regular inserts embedded in text and caption; 76 full glossies with a dynamic front jacket and tranquil back; and 37 broadside doublets overcoming the viewer with luxuriance. Melded by subject they variously depict sanctuary facilities, equines, and rescuers, each conveying a determinant significance worthy of study and admiration. She travelled 16,000 miles to mix her ingredients from the 13 selected sanctuaries, 5 located in the western U.S. (2 in California), 5 in the central U.S. (2 in the Dakotas), and 3 in the east. Wherever a page is turned in Horse Sanctuary, inspirational and joyous photographic panoply is found.

I would like to compliment Karen Tweedy-Holmes and Allison Milionis on this wonderful job of presenting the work of those of us who have made it our life's work to offer refuge to America's displaced equines. We are truly honored to be included here with our colleagues around the country. We do what we do because we all believe that these special animals, who have served mankind for so long as partners and companions, have earned the right to dignity and safety throughout their lives.
Allen Warren, Founder and Executive Director of Horse Harbor Foundation

Allison Milionis and Karen Tweedy-Holmes have done a purely masterful job of bringing the reader to the inner world of equine sanctuaries and rescues. Allison writes with real clarity and texture, and Karen's photographs show us the hearts of the horses and the caretakers who love them.
Jane Heath, Co-founder of Montana Horse Sanctuary

As founder of America's only organization created specifically to support and provide resources to this country's equine welfare community, I am pleased to see the tireless and compassionate efforts of the men and women who give so much of themselves to saving, rehabbing, and re- homing or providing permanent sanctuary to these animals finally recognized.
