“I have always shared two passions in my life: horses and photography. For some time now, I had wanted to put these passions together in book form, traveling the country taking pictures of Tennessee Walkers in the various pursuits in which they excel. Over the twenty–five years of my involvement in the breed, I have developed friendships with hundreds of horses and horse owners. The Walking Horse is more than a show horse, and I wanted to share this in a manner that could be enjoyed by horse owners and non–horse owners alike. That is why I undertook this project. What an incredible journey! I sipped mint juleps on a porch in the bayou, snuggled deep into a featherbed in the Midwest. I watched Old Faithful erupt by moonlight and saw the sun rise over the Great Smoky Mountains.
During the passage, I made new friends, both horses and their owners. Best of all I saw the friendships that these owners had developed with their horses and their horses with them. I discovered on this voyage that despite the differences of landscape and accent, saddle or discipline one thing remains constant: their hearts are as grand as their horses.
