THE RUGGED BEAUTY
OF THE CANADIAN MOUNTAINS LAID BARE
The wild horses of Alberta: by Holly Grayton
Holly Grayton has spent her lifetime building her understanding and enthusiasm for horses. The North
American born photographer and designer has been a part of the equestrian industry for many years.
Holly competed on the showjumping circuit herself, before dedicating her career to the beauty of photography
and design. She is a well-known media representative at many sport's top events and has captured history
both in and around the show arena.
Her commitment to horses is not limited to top sport. A recent excursion to photograph wild horses in
Alberta, Canada with award winning photographer Debbie Garside illustrates that Holly's love for horses
knows no boundaries.
The Alberta mountains are located not far from the prestigious Spruce Meadows show jumping venue. Here
about 300 wild horses roam the Eastern slopes of Alberta. Life is not easy for these herds, especially the
Canadian winters can be trying. But through the lens of Holly's camera it is certainly a sight for sore eyes.
Being allowed to watch these beautiful horses in their natural habitat left Holly with strong feelings of
protection and admiration for them. "Ultimately, horses always prove their resilience, they are nothing if not
adaptable and competitive by nature."
