The perfect gift for a horse lover This book is absolutely stunning. I purchased it as a gift for a friend of mine who used to ride and compete and had seen this photographers work.

She was beyond excited and said it's by far one of her favorite gifts and she has it on her coffee table and looks at it weekly. It's the PERFECT gift for someone who loves horses.
