When many horses outlive their usefulness to humans, they are treated as disposable -- auctioned off and sent to the slaughterhouse. But thanks to the work of rescue organizations and horse sanctuaries, many of these formerly unwanted horses are enjoying genuine appreciation and newfound freedom.

The horses in this book were abused, neglected, abandoned, rejected. They are lame, old, blind, or just unattractive according to modern ideas of beauty. Some are crossbreeds with no clearly defined bloodlines. Others are wild horses forced off public lands. These are horses enjoying a second chance to live a meaningful and dignified life. They are here to teach us different measures of value, measures we have almost forgotten.

To document these remarkable creatures acclaimed equine photographer Tony Stromberg traveled to sanctuaries across North America. While many horse books focus on exotic, flashy breeds or famous thoroughbreds, Tony chose to capture the soul of the "working class" equines -- many enjoying love and freedom for the first time. Through gorgeous photography, Forgotten Horses reveals the profound spirit of these amazing animals, and honors the people and sanctuaries that have offered them a well-deserved home.

Through his luminescent photography of horses, Tony Stromberg works to bridge what he calls “modern life’s disturbing separation between people and nature.” This gorgeous book of full-color photography is filled with one hundred and forty of Stromberg’s extraordinary portraits of horses, both wild and domestic, along with accompanying quotations from teachers and writers exploring equine wisdom and its intersection with spirituality.

Stromberg believes that horses can be profound teachers, bringing deep wisdom to a world dangerously out of balance. Through the power and mystery of the horse, Stromberg seeks to re-ignite qualities of freedom, spirit, power, grace, harmony in people’s souls.
