Created by world-renowned horse photographer Robert Vavra, Horses of the Sun celebrates the beauty, strength, and grace of eighteen equines from six distinctive breeds: Arabian, Andalusian, Morgan, American Saddlebred, Friesian, and Peruvian Paso. The volume opens with a thoughtful foreword by actor and accomplished horseman William Shatner, setting the tone for this heartfelt tribute to the horse.
