Wild horses endure thanks to the likes of old-time cowboy Dayton O. Hyde. In the 1980s, he witnessed some of America's surviving wild mustangs being rounded up and sent to slaughter; it pulled at his heart, and he vowed to do something about it. In 1988, he established The Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary to protect these majestic horses. In "All the Wild Horses", Dayton shares his personal stories and colorful insights on the natural history, behavior, spirit, and survival of these animals. Through his firsthand experience, Dayton knows these horses like few others anywhere. He also examines the plight of other wild horses around the globe--from the famous ponies of Chincoteague and Assateague to the ghostly white horses of the French Camargue and other breeds in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Rita and Charles Summers' glorious photographs of wild horses span the world, focusing on The Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary as well as other North American breeds. Their work has appeared in numerous books and magazines, including "National Geographic", " Audubon", " "and "Sierra". Charles Summer was honored as the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year.Summers, Charles G. is the author of 'All the Wild Horses Preserving the Spirit And Beauty of the World's Wild Horses' with ISBN 9780760325902 and ISBN 0760325901.
