Horse-Canada Book Stall

Private Access, by A Photographic Portfolio by Doug Prather. 250pp. What’s it like behind the gates of the greatest horse farms and ranches in America? Doug Prather knows. As an internationally renowned equine photographer, Prather has been granted access to the intriguing world that lies within—the horses, people, and private places that are rarely viewed by the public eye. For the first time, Prather makes it possible to catch an insider’s glimpse on sixteen of America’s most exclusive horse farms and ranches. Readers will see the intensity of Thoroughbreds thundering down world-class training tracks in Kentucky, and cutting horses working cattle in Texas. Through Prather’s lens, horse lovers will experience the serenity of misty mountain views and quiet morning turnouts in Virginia. They will be captivated by breathtaking images of horses grazing in hidden, dew-drenched fields, stallions racing in private paddocks in California. Readers will be touched by seeing foals frolicking beside watchful mothers in the secluded golden pastures of Florida. Private Access is an artistic creation that will appeal not only to horse-enthusiasts, but also to every individual with an appreciation for the beauty of nature and its creations.
