Lately, I have been doing a lot of thinking about my purpose behind the journeys I undertake, in order to spend time creating images with the wild horses. As much as I love the photographs that result, with each trip it becomes more apparent that the pictures are just an added bonus. They are a way for me to remember the feelings in that moment, the appreciation that arose from quietly being in the same space with the horses. I share these not just because I want people to be aware of their presence in our landscape, but because I believe there is a unique kind of communion between wild horse and human; one that brings us back to a deep-seated knowledge that gets lost in the busy hum of our daily lives.

To me, horses are much more than just a tool or a means to an end; they are companions and fellow travelers on this soul-filled journey we call life. When we visit these wild herds with intention, and are open to being led deeper into ourselves, the messages they carry can be powerful. My hope is perhaps one day, looking at these photographs will lead someone to recognize that these animals exist as a place where we can revisit our relationship with the land, and reflect on how we are living with it; a way we can celebrate the intrinsic value of our mutual existence.
