People We Know, Horses They Love
A beautifully designed, full-color photo-essay celebrating the intimate bond between some noted equestrians and the horses they own, ride, train-and love!
Leading man Richard Gere fell for a girl on horseback. For actress Alfre Woodard and her daughter Mavis, the connection with horses is spiritual. Chevy Chase says his Icelandics "get very hairy during the winter, but then so do I." And Robert Redford, recalling his month-long ride down the old Outlaw Trail that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid rode, "What I marvel at is how wild and free this land still can seem from the back of a horse."
In People We Know, Horses They Love , we meet nearly thirty celebrity horse lovers, from Whoopi Goldberg and Christie Brinkley to the original horse whisperer, Buck Brannaman and bestselling author Tami Hoag, who's also an amateur international champion dressage rider. Gorgeous, full-color, never-seen-before photographs capture the majesty and grace of the animals, the beauty of the ranches and stables where they reside and intimate moments shared with their owners.
Whether highlighting Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward on their ranch for special needs children, exploring Hilary Duff's passion for wild mustangs, hanging with Jeff Bridges on the set of Seabiscuit , or illuminating the interior lives of Maria Shriver, Morgan Freeman, and many others, People We Know, Horses They Love pays tribute to the special relationship between human and horse. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Program.

I enjoyed this book very much. The photography - of people, horses, and places - is nothing short of amazing. The essays are interesting as well.

Absolutely beautiful coffee table book with stories about "people we know" (Robert Redford, Whopie Goldberg etc) and the horses they love. I gave a copy to my niece who operates a horse rescue in San Diego, it is a wonderful gift for anyone who loves horses.

Reread this before gifting to another horse-crazy lady.
Nicely done but they could have asked me to proof-read. Spell-check anyone?
