humane and compassionate world is possible for all animals." Gene
Baur, President & Co-Founder of Farm Sanctuary, author of Farm
Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food "Horse
Sanctuary beautifully and in great detailed shows 13 of the most
well-run and effective sanctuaries for horses around the United
States of America. With photos that show lovely and real horses -
not show horses - and with vivid descriptions of the wide open
surroundings at the equine refuges as well as the creative methods
of fund-raising employed by the rescue organizations, this book is
truly a hopeful and action-oriented collection of stories."

"As founder of America's only organization created specifically to
support and provide resources to this country's equine welfare
community, I am pleased to see the tireless and compassionate
efforts of the men and women who give so much of themselves to
saving, rehabbing, and re-homing or providing permanent sanctuary
to these animals finally recognized." Shirley Puga, National Equine
Resource Network
"Horse Sanctuary is a beautiful book about the relationship between
people and horses." Temple Grandin, Author of Animals in
Translation and Animals Make us Human "This lovely book captures
the spirit and beauty of horses--even those who have been so
mistreated. Thank you for making your gorgeous subjects known,
loved, and appreciated." Hope Ryden, author of America's Last Wild
Horses
"This is one of the most interesting and helpful books on a
specific animal species that I have seen. Horses have played such
an important part in human lives and yet they may suffer from
abuse, neglect and human ignorance. In this book, 13 of America's
most effective sanctuaries for equines are visited. There are
unforgettable stories of horses and their rescuers and their
rehabilitation efforts. And if anyone wants to learn more or help,
there is a directory of contact information on the sanctuaries
covered as well as one for additional resources. But, as much as
this book is for animal/horse lovers, it is also for photographers.
The images of the animals are great lessons in how to approach and
develop a portfolio on one subject. There are many beautiful
photographs that capture the spirit of the horses and the
compassion of the rescuers." Apogee Photo, Inc. "Not only is this
book filled with beautiful images of horses, but it also tells the
stories of 13 horse sanctuaries across the U.S. Each has its own
individual mission, but there's a shared passion for rescuing
horses. This is not your average "horse coffee table book"; this
book is something special." Design Sponge
"In words and photographs, this necessary book pays tribute to
those who take care of our equine castaways. Find out who they are,
help them in your own way--and learn their stories." Deanne
Stillman, author of Mustang: The Saga of the Wild Horse in the
American West, a LA Times best book of the year "Heartwarming
stories and luscious photographs of animals who have been saved
from cruelty and neglect to find an abundance of love and care in
thirteen extraordinary equine sanctuaries across America. A book
full of kindness and grace that will make you happy." Susan
Richards, New York Times best-selling author of Chosen by a Horse
"Alison Milionis and Karen Tweedy-Holmes have done a purely
masterful job of bringing the reader to the inner world of equine
sanctuaries and rescues. Alison writes with real clarity and
texture, and Karen's photographs show us the hearts of the horses
and the caretakers who love them." Jane Heath, Co-Founder of
Montana Horse Sanctuary.
"I would like to compliment Karen Tweedy-Holmes and Allison
Milionis on this wonderful job of presenting the work of those of
us who have made it our life's work to offer refuge to America's
displaced equines. We are truly honored to be included here with
our colleagues around the country. We do what we do because we all
believe that these special animals, who have served mankind for so
long as partners and companions, have earned the right to dignity
and safety throughout their lives." Allen Warren, Horse Harbor
Foundation
