“Horses have always been a part of my life. I grew up as a kid who loved to ride his mustang pony through the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. For me, Horses naturally personify tranquility. They have a healing influence on me. Being around horses somehow helps me forget my worries and the current pressures of life. This series of photographs is meant to capture this simple connnection of mine while displaying their noble beauty.”
