An emblem of the American West and once numbering in the millions, the wild horse is considered by some today as a resource to be exploited or a pest to be eliminated. Now the wild horse is on the verge of being removed entirely from our nation's public lands. Wild Hoofbeats takes us deep into "Adobe Town" in Wyoming's Red Desert and one of the largest remaining wild herds in America. In passionate prose, but above all in stunning photographs that are both intimate and grand, Carol Walker convinces us to take the future of these elegant, exceptional animals to heart. The book has already received the following awards: 2008 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award for Photography, 2009 Eric Hoffer Book Award for Art: Honorable Mention, 2009 Independent Publisher Book Awards: Silver Award for Best Regional Non-Fiction, and was a Finalist in the Photography Category of the 2009 National Indie Excellence Awards.
