CLASS DESCRIPTION

Wild horses stir the Soul. To see them running free in the vast Western landscape is a deep reminder of the Harmony possible between the Land and the Creatures. Their alertness illuminates the boundry-less world they live in and are attuned to. Being with them can open up parts of ourselves. Our leader, Judy Barnes, lives among several bands of Wild horses on Wild Horse Mesa, near the New Mexico/Colorado border.

Some are descendents of the first horses brought here on Christopher Columbus’s 2nd voyage in 1493. Although untouched by humans, these bands are accustomed to Judy’s respectful presence, and will permit small groups to approach on foot if they come with her. Hence the photographic opportunities, none of which will be staged or set up in any way. The vagaries of weather and the whims of wildness will be our companions on this adventure. Check out Judy’s website to see some of her photos: spiritofthewildhorse.com.

Feel free to Call us for more information about this wonderful workshop. We love to chat about our classes.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Read Carlos LoPopolo’s new book “The History of the Horse in the United States of America’s West, The Beginning.”
There is a superbly detailed chronological history of the horse in American and the origins of the Mustang in the New Mexico Horse Project Web-Site.

We’ll be observing Wild Horses in their natural setting, without interfering with their daily activities.
There will be opportunities both for distance shots as well as close-ups. No touching or feeding is permitted.

About Our Faculty:

Judy Barnes was born and raised in Southern California. After tiring of the over population and smog, she moved to Mount Shasta, California. She lived in Northern California for five years and then packed up once again and moved to Taos, New Mexico. She now lives on a ranch with three horses and two dogs and has found the quiet country life to be ideal.

Photograph: Judy BarnesJudy has always loved photography and she photographs what she enjoys most…animals. According to Judy, “The animals share a piece of their soul with me.”

After moving to New Mexico, Judy volunteered with The New Mexican Horse Project. The goal of the project is preservation and protection of the Spanish blood mustangs who have lived in New Mexico for four hundred years, since the time of the Spanish explorers.

Judy has been fascinated with wild horses since childhood. Now she can experience wild horses as neighbors. She spends hours in Southern Colorado photographing wild horses and just spending time with the bands as they graze.
