A journey into the heart of the American West, where wild horses roam free on the open range.

This book is a stunning photographic journey into the world of the Santa Ana wild horses, a herd of nearly 100 wild horses that roam the rugged Santa Ana Mountains of Southern California. The book features over 200 beautiful photographs of the horses, along with essays and stories about their lives.

The Santa Ana wild horses are a unique and iconic symbol of the American West. They are descended from the horses that were brought to the Americas by the Spanish in the 16th century. Over the centuries, these horses have become adapted to the harsh conditions of the Santa Ana Mountains, and they have developed a strong sense of independence and resilience.

The Santa Ana wild horses are a vital part of the ecosystem of the Santa Ana Mountains. They help to keep the vegetation in check, and they provide food for predators such as mountain lions and coyotes. The horses also play an important role in the cultural heritage of the region. They are a reminder of the days when the American West was a vast and untamed wilderness.

This book is a celebration of the Santa Ana wild horses. It is a beautiful and inspiring tribute to these magnificent animals and the rugged land they call home.
