WILD HORSES: a living heritage of Alberta

by Debra Garside, Foreword by Amber Marshall

Description

This exciting new project is a collection of photographs and field notes that began to take shape 11 years ago when Debra began photographing and observing our Alberta Wildies. This book brings together all of those memories and experiences including unprecedented documentation of two foal births – images never before seen. The foreword is written by Canadian actress Amber Marshall of ‘Heartland’.

“To truly capture the heart of a horse in an image, one must sincerely understand the legacy of the animal. Laying eyes on Debra’s photographs transports the viewer into the raw, untamed world of wild horses. Each piece shows a different side to the harsh but beautiful life these Wildies endure. Debra has a gift for capturing the mood of each herd. From the desolate landscapes of Sable Island to the unforgiving interior of the Rocky Mountains, she has spent over a decade observing and understanding the ways of the wild horse.” – Amber Marshall

WILD HORSES 228 pages contain over 220 fine art photographs and 15,000 words of text that brings you into the world of ‘wildies’. You will learn how these horses live through the seasons, what their attributes and behaviours are and be introduced to certain individuals that hold a special place in Debra’s heart. It explains about their history, colour variations and how they fit into the ecology of Alberta’s Eastern Slopes.
