23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
The connection between two species through trust, respect, and love

My most personal picture. One of my rescued horses in the pasture today. When he came to me, he was injured and so traumatized that his body trembled with fear when anyone approached him. This picture makes my heart happy and says: We all need the same thing.
