horses of holy islE
Located off the west coast of Scotland, Holy Isle has an ancient spiritual heritage stretching back to the 6th century. The Holy Isle is now taken care of by a group of Buddhist monks from Samye Ling. This natural beauty spot is now a place of peace and meditation where the Centre for World Peace and Health is situated.
On the Isle live three special wild herds of horses. The time I have spent on the Isle observing and photographing the Eriskay ponies has been such a captivating, wonderful experience. These ponies are truly unique and live a wild existence, they are left to live and roam free within their herds across the Isle and have no human interference which is very unusual within the UK.
During my ongoing visits to the Holy Isle, I wish to capture the unique spirit of these horses. Capturing the essence, and relationships they have with each other, the Isle and the elements they battle and embrace each day. I am eager to find out more about the dynamics of the three herds and look forward to sharing more of my collection of horse photography prints as the project develops.
