just beautiful!!

This is such a beautiful book! perfect as a gift for any horse lover!

Formerly Afraid of Horses

I have always been a bit timid around horses however that didn't stop me from becoming mesmerized the moment that I read the first words of this magical book. I became lost in the wonderful images and finally understand the powerful bond between horse and rider. A favorite story is Neda Demayo and her passion for wild horses and burros. It almost made we want to saddle up to help save these mighty mustangs. I highly recommend this book for all animal lovers, large or small.

What a lovely present!

This book is such a treat! From the wonderful mother/daughter stories featuring Alfre Woodard and Mavis Spencer and Catherine Ross and Cleo Elliott to the eye opening abuse of Premerin mares as told by Andrea Eastman and the plight of the American Wild Horse described by Neda DeMayo with each turn of the page I was captivated. The photos of Robert Redford, Dennis Quaid, Kim Novak and Hilary Duff were exceptional and what a surprise to see Giselle as such a capapble and competent rider. I truly loved this book and intend to give it to many on my holiday gift list this year!

Perfect Holiday Gift

"People We Know, Horses They Love" is a great book, even for someone who isn't exactly a horse lover. This book is beautifully written, photographed, and perfect for anyone- People Magazine and Cowboys and Indians Magazine readers alike! It helped me mark several names off my holiday gift list.

"People We Know, Horses They Love"

"People We Know, Horses They Love" is a beautifully written and photographed book. The stories about celebrities and their love of horses are quite interesting and moving. Some of the best stories are of the lesser know people like Buck Brannaman--the inspiration for the movie "The Horse Whisperer" and Neda Demayo--founder of the Return To Freedom Wild Horse Sanctuary for wild horses and burros. The stories and photographs of well known celebrities give us insights into their lives that we normally do not see or hear about. The book is truly inspirationaland a joy to read and re-read.
