Collection: Point Reyes National Seashore

This body of work began during my time volunteering at Point Reyes National Seashore’s Morgan Horse Ranch, a site of historical significance. Once a hub for breeding and training horses for ranger patrol, the ranch supplied Morgan horses to National Parks across the country. However, the breeding program ended in 1999, with the last horse of this lineage born that year. By the time I joined the ranch, only a few of these remarkable horses remained, and nearly all have since passed. These photographs document their final chapter —a legacy still largely unknown in the notable National Seashore they resided in.

Each afternoon, after completing my volunteer duties, I would photograph the horses and explore the Seashore as the sun set. This work offers an intimate view of the horses I cared for, interwoven with the expansive and diverse landscapes of the National Seashore. A place steeped in history—home to countless species and human cultures over millennia—Point Reyes preserves stories that span time. This is my contribution to its ongoing narrative.
