Millions of visitors frequent vacation spots along the Atlantic Wild Horse Trail, and are eager to learn about the wild herds that roam the nearby islands.
The Hoofprints Guides engage the reader with detailed information about the history, environment, behavior, and prospects of these intriguing animals. Each inexpensive guide presents a realistic, engaging account of one Atlantic Coast herd, and is packed with black and white photographs.
The Hoofprints Guides are appealing to a general readership, yet are well-referenced and accurate enough to satisfy the scholar.
Each of the Hoofprints Guides has been abridged from Bonnie Gruenbergâs Wild Horse Dilemma: Conflicts and Controversies of the Atlantic Coast Herds (2015) is the only book in print covering all the herds of wild horses surviving in the eastern United States.
At nearly 600 pages, Dilemma is the definitive work on the East Coast herds. It is encyclopedic, copiously illustrated, and meticulously documented. Dilemma won the Eric Hoffer, Next Generation Indie, and Independent Publisher book awards, and is a finalist for best non-fiction book in the American Horse Publications 2016 Equine Media Awards.
Reviewers have praised it as âthe best work ever written about East Coast wild horses (or wild horses period!)â and âan in-depth read not to be missed by serious wild horse enthusiasts.â
For readers short on time or interested in a particular herd, Quagga Press has distilled the comprehensive Wild Horse Dilemma into the six-volume Hoofprints Guides Series.
Each volume presents all the information about the history, environment, behavior, and prospects of a single herd contained in the larger work, but in a compact, economical form with minimal citations and bonus photographs.
The Hoofprints Guides and their parent work, Wild Horse Dilemma, are available in bookstores and gift shops near the wild horse ranges and elsewhere and online at www.quaggapress.com. Additional information and photographs are available for free at www.wildhorseislands.com.
