Wild Horses I Have Known

I found this book well worth the value I paid for it ($6ppd). It's a small book, but laid out well with lots of interesting reading about mustangs. I do like the pictures, there are many interesting colors presented, instead of your same old bays and greys.

Wonderful companion book to "America's Last Wild Horses"

Beautifully laid out & photographed. Remarkable photographs by a remarkable woman. The author has spent the majority of her life documenting the last remaining herds of wild mustangs along the Wyoming-Montana Pryor Mountain range. The last few pages in the book feature wonderful photographs of the various colours of these mustangs, from grulla, to medicine hat pinto, to buckskin, cremello, blue roan, etc - followed by text and commentary by the author describing these colours. This is the companion book to the author's previous release: "America's Last Wild Horses".

Well written & informative book

Written by someone who has spent many years with these magnificent animals. Great photos and stories. I gave the book to my 13 year old niece and she loves it.

Well Done!

Hope Ryden has done an excellent job on her book. Beautiful pictures of horses are every where in this book. Hope has followed several herds of wild mustangs and observed their behavor. I am amazed at her knowledge of these horses and she has shared it with us in her book. Meet The Black King-the undisputed leader of his harem defend his mares against other stallions and the Bandidos. Read about Hope's narrow escapes and her funniest moments. Young and old will love reading this book over and over and gazing for hours at the beautiful pictures.
