Product Description
“From the outset I felt quite strongly that I wanted to celebrate the horse in its own right.” —Tim Flach, photographer
No animal has captured the human imagination quite like the horse, depicted in media from cave drawings thousands of years ago through countless renderings in paint, clay, ink, even film. Award-winning photographer Tim Flach’s quest to document the horse has resulted in Equus, an intensely moving look at an animal—as solitary subject and en masse, from the air and from underwater—whose history is so powerfully linked to our own.
From exquisite Arabians in the Royal Yards of the United Arab Emirates to purebred Icelandic horses in their glacial habitat; from the soulful gaze of a single horse’s lash-lined eye to the thundering majesty of thousands of Mustangs racing across the plains of Utah, Equus provides an amazing and unique insight into the physical dynamics and spirit of the horse.

It's Like Seeing Horses with New Eyes Every Time You Open It
It seems like I have been waiting forever for this book to be published and now I have one in my hands. I had seen the images on Tim Flach's web site but couldn't imagine their tactile presence. The book is huge and the physical act of turning such big pages creates drama, as the next image unfolds.
I believe that this book will be the new standard by which artistic animal photography will be judged.
It is stunning, thought-provoking and inspirational, without any text to get in the way of your own reactions. (Although there is text elsewhere in the book, should you care to read more.)
This book will never grow old. You will, but this book will grow with you. You'll see it again for the first time, every time you open it.
And you'll know horses as you never have before.
Stunning
Probably the best horse photo book I have seen, even surpassing Robert Vavra, which is quite a feat. For someone who works with horses, as I do every day, with this book you can almost smell the wet hide and feel the flow of mane. The beauty and magic of horses is in the smallest details, the whole form, and the movement. Tim Flach has somehow managed to capture all three aspects. The various geographical locations are a wonderful enhancement as well. This is a book of beauty.
Gorgeous book
I bought this book for my 12 year old Grandson for a Christmas gift. It is a beautiful book and as a horse lover he will be thrilled with the book.
