The only truly wild horse remaining on the planet is the so-called Przewalski'shorse. Other equine species, which live in the wild and reproduce freely, are more accurately termed as "returned to the wild" rather than "wild." For the most part, these are animals that were at one time domestic and have reverted to the wild, re-acquiring the typical instincts of wild horses and re-adopting the original behavior of their species. Whichever category they belong to, these animals are fascinating symbols of freedom,bearing universal witness to the pleasure and harmonious beauty of running.

Whichever category they belong to, these animals are fascinating symbols of freedom,bearing universal witness to the pleasure and harmonious beauty of running.Having researched and observed these horses all around the world for many years, some leading specialized photographers have captured pictures of rare beauty that, portray horses in large prairies, intent on grazing,galloping, flirting or horseplay, guided only by their unbridled instinct. This book was the result of extensive reporting and is rich in beautiful photographs. It is a fitting tribute to this wonderful animal,finally free to be the splendid and wild creature created by millions of years of evolution.
