What's it like behind the gates of the greatest horse farms and ranches in America?
Doug Prather knows. As an internationally renowned equine photographer,
Prather has been granted access to the intriguing world that lies within—the horses,
people, and private places that are rarely viewed by the public eye.
For the first time, Prather makes it possible to catch an insider's glimpse of life
on some of America's most exclusive horse farms and ranches. Readers will be
captivated by breathtaking images of horses grazing in hidden, dew-drenched fields,
stallions racing in private paddocks, and foals frolicking beside watchful mothers in
secluded golden pastures. Through Prather's lens, horse lovers will experience the serenity
of misty mountain views and quiet morning turnouts, as well as the excitement of cutting
horses working cattle, and the thrill of Thoroughbreds thundering down world-class training tracks.
