The western horse captured to perfection,
By D. F. Tanner (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Western Horse: A Photographic Anthology (Hardcover)
I have been a fan of David Stoecklein's work for many years, and he continues to outdo himself with each new endeavor. This book is no exception. His love of horses and the west, combined with his overall vision, unique photographic eye and technique make this book truly exceptional. The variety of shots and his use of angles and light will keep you turning each page with anticipation. You feel as if you have snuck into the horses world, without the horse knowing that you are there. He successfully captures the western horse in a way that portrays them as they are: stunning, magnificent animals, deserving our our appreciation and respect. Even those who are not 'horse' fans per se, will appreciate the depth and breadth of Mr. Stoecklein's style.

Beautiful Book,
This review is from: The Western Horse: A Photographic Anthology (Hardcover)
This is one of the most beautiful bookes I have ever read. It has an excellent section on what the colors of horses mean as well as information on how horses came to be in America, what has happened to Indian ponies, and breed histories. This book also contains poetry from Sue Wallis. I bought this book for the pictures, but the text as definatly proved to be worth while as well.
