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, says: "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.

Cute book for the kids and celebrity followers

June 9, 2007

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book has some really well taken photography shots of people and their horses. It dosen't lie in its title...alas..the title is incredibly accurate...it shows a bunch of celebrity with their horses and a few with the dogs also.

Did I say the photography was wonderful?...It is.

The choice of the persons included in this book was well thought out..as she included several minority persons for which I give high marks for doing so..as minorities are very poorly represented in most equine books.

The horse crazy among us..(like Myself) will devour this book in less than 30 minutes if you read it..and even faster than that (maybe) if you just look at the pictures. Teens..young adults...minority horse lovers should jump on it...because it contains people that you have seen ..that could be you or your kids in it..and for that reason..it is excellent for the younger crowd too !!!

It isn't smart..or difficult..or magical...or knowledgable......its a good look at American Celebritys the horses they own..and how they got connected to them.

Visually and documentary beautiful!

September 26, 2007

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I have seen this book before and decided to get it for myself, so I can ponder over the different chapters, and personages at leisure. Filled with one surprise after another, the book delivers photos masterfully done, interwoven with stories of people we know that share a common bond... horses. It is a great gift for the horse lover or the person that likes to read about people in the world of celebrities. Again, I must emphasize that the pictures are truly stunning and well composed. Having been a photographer for over 40 years, I always pay more attention to the details, composures, and art-full feel of pictures, and these photos are charming and "story telling" in their own light. One picture is worth a thousand words, is very true in this book. Buy it, enjoy it, keep it and give it.

Nice, but not terrific

December 8, 2004

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I debated rating this book "3 Stars", but decided to be nice for a change and not discourage other people from buying it as a gift for "horsey" friends. There are some disturbing flaws in the text...proof-reading errors, grammatical errors, and worse, factual errors. The celebrity "interviews" all sound as if they came from the same person. Perhaps the "same person" transcribed them. Who knows? There could be (many) more pictures of actual horses and their people, rather than artsy shots of (very impressive) trees and other fancy real estate and scenery (especially a super model in Spandex breeches and a sports bra) that just serve to make us poor non-celebrity slobs feel inadequate. True horsepeople will be a tad disappointed. Celebrity groupies will be, too. Almost everyone will be surprised that some of the personalities featured have horses. Many readers will be happy to see that not all of the rich people have super horses...many of them just plain love the ones they have. In summary, Amazon's great low prices and free shipping make up for most of these quibbles. Buy the book!

Great Surprise!

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I bought this book, sight unseen, based on the topic. It was a gift for a friend who loves horses. When it arrived I spent way too much time enjoying the content, photography and the presentation. I may just have to order one for myself. Oh, by the way, the price was terrific. Thanks Amazon for making my shopping easy, affordable and much appreciated by recipients.

Beautiful pictures - lovely stories....

March 29, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

For everyone who loves horses whether you own one or not. I really enjoyed the photography as well as the stories of all the 'horse lovers'. It was published in 2004 so some of the couples are no longer together and unfortunately some of the people are no longer living. But it still is a treasure to have in your library.
