Photographer Carol Walker’s gift for capturing the essence of animals—whether in motion or still—extends to many species, but infused by her passion for the subject, her remarkable, breath-catching images of horses in the wild are fast becoming Walker signature pieces. At seminars during the Massachusetts Equine Affaire (November 12-15), visitors will have a rare opportunity to learn from Carol’s experiences, both as an equine photographer and as an advocate for America’s vanishing wild horses.



Walker’s photographs do not fail to evoke heartfelt response. In her book, Wild Hoofbeats, Walker adds a further dimension as she marries the images to the story of her time spent closely observing the Adobe Town herd in Wyoming’s Red Desert. The combination of powerful photographs and moving prose gives the reader a sense of individual acquaintance with these elegant, intelligent animals.



It is little surprise that Wild Hoofbeats has won numerous awards, including:

· 2008 Pinnacle Book Award for Photography

· Independent Publisher Book Awards: Silver Medal for West Mountain Region Best Non-fiction

· Eric Hoffer Awards: Honorable Mention, Art Category

· National Indie Excellence Awards: Finalist, Art Category

· Benjamin Franklin Awards: Finalist, Animals/Pets Category



Wild Hoofbeats is available at retail booksellers and on line at www.wildhoofbeats.com . Walker also offers a Wild Hoofbeats calendar, two screensavers, and a DVD slide show of images from her wild horse photography collection; special packages are available at a 25% discount, making them ideal Christmas gifts. For 2010, Walker will also once again be offering a special “Cloud” calendar, from which 10% of the proceeds benefit the Cloud Foundation.
