Heroes
An intimate look at some of the great performance horses of our time
Our perception of performance horses is ambivalent:
Celebrated by some as four-legged athletes, as animal superstars filling arenas and breaking records. Pitied by others as misunderstood and abused creatures, merely a vehicle on the road to success and fame.
I want to offer yet a different point of view: A glimpse into the souls of these horses, showing them as what they really are – magical beings with individual characteristics such as joy, pride and charm, to name just a few.
This ongoing series invites the viewer to discover the unique personality behind every four-legged performer.
