A stunning, contemplative photography book celebrating the wild Sable Island horse, from zoologist and long-time Sable devotee, featuring over 100 full-colour images.
Sable Island’s horses are legendary creatures. Feral, unbroken, and literally untouched by human hands, they inspire curiosity, wonder, and admiration. Sable Untamed: The Wild Beauty of Sable Island’s Horses chronicles their resilience through perceptive, intimate photography, paired with a concise, research-informed reflection on the horses’ ecology.
In Sable Untamed, The Wild Beauty of Sable Island’s Horses, zoologist and photographer Damian Lidgard offers fascinating information while showcasing nearly 100 gorgeous photographs of the horses and their unique environment of shifting sand dunes, windswept grasses, and flora and fauna found nowhere else in the world. The images highlight Lidgard’s contemplative approach to photography which requires time and patience to silently observe and still the mind to allow raw perceptions to arise. The stunning results depict the raw power and unmatched beauty of the Sable Island horse in this gorgeous full-colour book.
