Wild Mustangs
Jessica has had a lifelong companionship with horses. After the passing of her beloved horse, she turned back to photographing the wild mustangs as a way to reconnect with these beautiful animals.
Mustangs are protected under The Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 but today in an effort to control the population, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is rounding horses off our public lands, taking away their freedom. These efforts come with much controversy in how to properly and humanely manage our cherished mustangs.
While these horses are stuck in the crossfire of an emotional and controversial struggle, Jessica encourages the viewer to take interest in the mustangs and help preserve their place on our lands. Mustangs are living symbols of the American West and these images are a tribute to them.
