Yann Arthus-Bertrand is the renowned photographer The Earth from the Air, but he does not spend his entire life revealing the world from above. In the 1990s, he became the first person to photograph animals in the same way that fashion photographers take pictures of their models – as studio shots, paying immense attention to lighting and detail.

The fruits of a fifteen year labour of love, these photographs show horses and their owners in some of the most stunning and far-flung parts of the world.
Photographing horses can be a tricky affair: their essence and true beauty is ultimately revealed when they move, not when they are posed in a photographer’s studio. It is a testament to Arthus-Bertrand’s skill that he is able to eloquently portray horses as they are – their strength, their impetuous vitality, even their spirituality.

Arthus-Bertrand’s photographs also illuminate the relationship that exists between man and horse. His dramatic images and the accompanying text combine to make this book a bible for horse lovers everywhere.
