10% of proceeds supporting the Rare Breed Survival Trust, Wild Hearts is more than a book; it’s a tribute to the heart and soul of our rare native breeds in the UK.
At a time when our world feels fragile and in need of great care, Wild Hearts is a reminder of the beauty, resilience, and spirit that still lives in our landscapes. Born from a deep love of horses, nature, and the quiet moments that connect us to something greater, this fine art photography book is a celebration of the untamed beauty and soulful presence of our rare native horses and ponies.
Over six years in the making, Wild Hearts began as a personal mission to capture the heart and soul of Britain’s rare breed horses and ponies, and to encourage people to support these vulnerable breeds — whether by protecting them in their natural environments or by choosing to buy a registered pony, a step that could help secure their future.
Each portrait tells a story of strength, grace, and individuality, capturing the spirit of breeds that have shaped our landscapes for centuries. From the windswept moorlands of the North to the rugged coastlines of the South, these horses embody resilience and freedom — qualities we all long to hold onto.
In the UK, we are fortunate to have native horses and ponies that roam our land, many in semi-wild herds deeply connected to their environments. Hill farmers and custodians care for them, ensuring their safety and preserving ancient bloodlines so these breeds can continue to thrive. Yet their future is uncertain. Changing landscapes, modern farming pressures, and a decline in interest from horse enthusiasts all threaten their survival.
With a passionate message of conservation at its heart, Wild Hearts honours these remarkable animals and the people who protect them. It is both a tribute and a call to action — to cherish our natural world and the creatures that have shaped it for generations.
By purchasing Wild Hearts, you’re not only bringing a piece of timeless beauty into your home, you’re also helping to raise awareness for the preservation of these precious breeds and the wild spaces they inhabit.
Wild Hearts is for anyone who feels a deep connection to nature, to horses, and to the quiet power of the untamed. A tribute to the wild, the rare, and the free.
Bring the spirit of the wild into your home with Wild Hearts, a breathtaking fine art book that celebrates the rare native horses of Britain and the landscapes they call home.
