Tony Stromberg, one of the world's top equine photographers, works to bridge what he calls "modern life's disturbing separation between people and nature." He came to horses and riding later in life — after years as a successful commercial photographer — and horses became his "teachers." These 150 extraordinary portraits, in color, black and white, and sepia tones, showcase horses in motion, many wild and ungroomed. As Linda Kohanov notes, his images "give us a compelling glimpse into the secret life of horses." Accompanying reflections from th... MOREinkers from the Dalai Lama to D. H. Lawrence explore the spiritual nature of these powerful creatures. Through the undiminished mystery of the horse, and our perennial fascination with the animal, Stromberg reignites the qualities of freedom, spirit, power, grace, and harmony in people’s souls.

After more than a decade as one of San Francisco’s top commercial photographers, Tony Stromberg followed an inner yearning for more space and stillness and moved to New Mexico to pursue his true passion in fine art photography of his favorite subject, the horse. Tony travels throughout the western United States and Europe in search of the elusive and mysterious spirit of the wild horse, attempting to capture the freedom and power of his subjects on film. He works with the Bureau of Land Management as well as numerous wildlife sanctuaries and private ranches. He conducts workshops on horse photography. His photographs appear in select galleries throughout the world.Linda Kohanov is the author of The Tao of Equus and Riding between the Worlds. She is an author, speaker, riding instructor, and horse trainer who specializes in Equine Experiential Learning and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy.
