A wise Lakota woman once told that “Horses are salvation”. She knew what she was talking about. Horses are our helpers, and a medium to the divine world. Horses helps us to stay grounded, routed to the important things in life. This is not some New Age talk, people have known this since long before my ancestors, the Vikings, walked the earth. People from all corners of the earth have realized that the horse has a lot to teach us, if we choose to listen and don’t break their spirit. Horses can teach us important survival skills, like leadership, kindness, compassion, and the importance of a family. They gladly carry our hardship for us. The least we can do is spreading the truth about their true value to the next generation, otherwise this ancient knowledge might get lost in our world of technology. My goal is to capture the essence of the horse with the lens of my camera. All horses have something to teach us, and their beauty along is soothing for our stressed souls.
