Looking For a Great Gift? Check Out Fine Equine Photography Book From Tony Stromberg

New World Library is pleased to publish Horse Medicine by renowned equine photographer Tony Stromberg. The stunning photographs in his newest collection celebrate the healing potential of the horse-human relationship.

“The horse really can be seen as medicine with the ability to heal us on many levels — emotionally, archetypally, spiritually — and with the capacity to help us restore our lives to a natural balance of inner and outer, of spirit and flesh. That is why I decided to call this book Horse Medicine: to honor the horse for its deeper essence, as teacher, healer, and balancer.”

— From the introduction

After Stromberg’s first two photography books (Spirit Horses and The Forgotten Horses) were published, he received innumerable emails from people praising his photos for how they capture the pure spirit, the essence of the horse. What really amazed him was that many who wrote were not horse people at all. Why did these people still revere, respect, and honor horses and what they represent?

What is it about horses that draws people in so deeply? Why is it that horses hold meaning and symbolism across cultures around the world? Why do so many experience horses as not just beautiful creatures but wise and healing teachers? These are some of the questions that Stromberg set out to answer with his best photos from the past half decade. The resulting collection more than meets Stromberg’s goal of highlighting and honoring the mysterious ways horses and humans can “bring out the best, the highest, and the most powerful in one another.”

After more than a decade as one of San Francisco’s top commercial photographers, Tony Stromberg followed an inner yearning for more space and stillness and moved to New Mexico to pursue his true passion in fine art photography of his favorite subject, the horse. Tony travels throughout the western United States and Europe in search of the elusive and mysterious spirit of the wild horse, capturing the freedom and power of his subjects on film. His photographs appear in select galleries throughout the world. He also conducts workshops on equine photography in the American West, Central America, and Europe. He lives on a ranch in New Mexico and his website is www.tonystromberg.com.
