Quoting From The American Horse Publication Awards Ceremony...
“A truly magnificent book, with the presentation being the perfect venue for the
subject matter. The farms and ranches shown here are all the best of the best,
and the photography, layout and overall quality match them...
It looks like a labor of love and art.” |

What’s it like behind the gates of the greatest horse farms and ranches in America?
Doug Prather knows. As an internationally renowned equine photographer,
Prather has been granted access to the intriguing world that lies within—the horses,
people, and private places that are rarely viewed by the public eye.
For the first time, Prather makes it possible to catch an insider’s glimpse
of life on some of America’s most exclusive horse farms and ranches. Readers will be
captivated by breathtaking images of horses grazing in hidden, dew-drenched fields,
stallions racing
in private paddocks, and foals frolicking beside watchful mothers in
secluded golden pastures. Through Prather’s lens, horse lovers will experience the serenity
of misty mountain views and quiet morning turnouts, as well as the excitement of cutting
horses working cattle, and the thrill of Thoroughbreds thundering down world-class training tracks. |
