The Dynamic Guide for Horse Lovers and it is available as well as her
blog with weekly horse photography photo tips at
www.HorsePhotographyWorkshops.com Her new website, www.WildHoofbeats.com is dedicated to providing
information and education in order to save America's wild horses. Carol uaes the money generated by the sales of her artwork to fund her efforts to help keep America's horses wild and free.
