5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable photographs, November 30, 2001

This review is from: The Spirit of the Horse: Photographs and Written Reflections of the American Horse (Hardcover)

Robert Dawson's photographs are so moving. He captures moments that are truly beautiful. His books (Along the Cowboy Trail and this one) make wonderful gifts for those horse lovers and cowboys/cowgirls!

5.0 out of 5 stars I must disagree with CPM's (CA) review, January 4, 2005

I personally have both books by editor Tammy LeRoy and photographer ROBERT Dawson. They do, indeed, have absolutely beautiful photographs and Tammy is a gifted writer/editor that helps those photographs be appreciated even more by her words.

If you have an opportunity to pick up these books, they are well worth the investment and make wonderful gifts to everyone -- horse lover or not.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Writing Ever!, August 6, 2004

This review is from: The Spirit of the Horse: Photographs and Written Reflections of the American Horse (Hardcover)

Richard Dawson's pictures are beautiful, but the whole book is brought down by the hopeless drivel that is written by LeRoy. She is obviously an uneducated writer who would be better suited to producing bad greeting cards rather than ruining the work of this excellent photographer. If you decide to purchase this book, pick up a Sharpie marker too. Black out all of the text and you will have a reasonably enjoyable time paging through the photographs.
