Horse: Messenger from another place & time

April 24th, 2008

Photograph by Paula Stoeke

On Wednesday, April 23rd we were glad to feature the  equine photography exhibition, “Horse: messenger from another place & time,” by artist Paula Stoeke in a benefit evening for the wild horse rescue ranch, Return to Freedom. 

The works, though not exclusively of wild mustangs, bring attention and focus to the plight of these noble creatures who, in recent years, have been rounded up and displaced by the Bureau of Land Management.

Stoeke says: “The horses cannot fight either the BLM’s helicopter round-ups or the developers’ backhoe. So it is up to us to bring attention to the potential loss of this phenomenal creature, and the immediate cruelty of the processes they endure in our names by the government. The founders of Return to Freedom have created something extraordinary – a place where the herds can live out their societal norms without interference from the human population. ”

It was a beautiful evening in support of a great cause.
