I am first and foremost a horse person - - three horses grace my life in Omaha, Nebraska. I have been a lover of horses since I was a young girl. I am an emeritus  professor of public administration at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a wild horse photographer.

In recent years I have focused my research on the public management of wild horses in the U.S. and in the Netherlands. This web site reflects my photography and research, including work at the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range on the boundary of northern Wyoming and southern Montana. Wild horse advocates living in Lovell, Wyoming have worked for over fifty years in cooperation with the Billings, Montana field office of the Bureau of Land Management to create and preserve this federally-protected range and its unique herd. My 2015 book, Saving the Pryor Mountain Mustang: A Legacy of Local and Federal Cooperation, University of Nevada Press, chronicles that history.

I have learned a great deal from these Lovell advocates about wild horses. Photographing wild horses is another invaluable opportunity to learn what it means for them to flourish - - to sit and observe and to reflect their dignity and beauty in photographic images. The images in these photo galleries come from the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range and from McCullough Peaks near Cody, Wyoming. In the future I hope to visit and photograph wild horses in the Netherlands in order to compare that country's public policies with the U.S.

Visitors to this web site should also go to the web site and the Facebook page of the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center in Lovell, WY.
