Two wild horse photographers set out on a whirlwind journey spanning 150+ acres of wild west lands to find the truth and beauty behind America's most beloved icon, the wild horse.

America's Wild Horses are in crisis, and so is our western landscape. For centuries horses have ploughed our fields and carried us into battle. Caught in the crossfire over land use rights and a shrinking wild landscape, America's wild horses are struggling to survive. Some still roam wild, but those thousands that have been gathered are held in government contracted facilities with little hope for adoption. 150 million acres of western public lands belong to all of us, and we can do right by its wildlife. But the issues are complex, and won't be solved by shouting on social media. Join wildlife photographers Jamie Baldanza and Deb Lee Carson on their mission to document America's most elusive herds of wild horses and examine their politically complicated lives in a 12 part series.—Mathew Silverman
