Horses of Iceland

An outstanding demonstration of the pristine nature and wildlife, this stunning photographic book presents some 300 magnificent colour photographs of Iceland's peaceful and spirited horses against the backdrop of their native landscape, which is as exclusive as it is dramatic.

With fascinating historical facts and background information on this special breed of horse and gripping stories from the author about the unposed moments she captured through the lens

Anyone with a passion for wildlife photography, conservation and exploration will love this book, as will anyone who appreciates and admires the majestic sight, pure beauty and majesty of horses

Its incomparably gentle disposition, sharp mind, strong, muscular stature and thick coat, which comes in countless colour variations, make the Icelandic horse a special breed, appreciated and loved not only in its native Iceland, but by horse lovers worldwide.

For five years, Argentine photographer Guadalupe Laiz has pursued her extraordinary project of capturing and celebrating the unbridled beauty and pure grace of these magnificent horses in their natural environment - the rocky, rugged, often ethereal moonscapes of Iceland. The stunning collection of photographs, Horses of Iceland, provides vivid, stirring impressions of the many different types of Icelandic horses in the wild and of the rare moments when they come into contact with humans. An overwhelming picture journey thus becomes an inspiring experience.

The internationally active artist, photographer and explorer Guadalupe Laiz was born and raised in Argentina. She sells her fine art prints to customers all over the world. For the past five years, Laiz has been mainly engaged in capturing the beauty and uniqueness of horses native to Iceland in an extensive body of work. Convinced that art and beauty change our view of nature, Laiz focuses her work on the environment and on animals with a naturally pure and friendly nature. Through art, she aims to raise awareness about animal cruelty and environmental issues, and the importance of education that requires all generations to make clear lifestyle choices to protect our planet.
