<p><p> More than a marvelous compilation of photos, Jayne Silberman's book is a celebration of freedom in its dazzling simplicity. She has created a collection of magical moments, from quiet grandeur to sweet humor to flashes of power. With a talent for understatement and a keen eye, Jayne has captured the unexpected serenity of the wild horses and ponies of Assateague Island. <p>-Lendon Gray, coach, instructor, and two-time Olympian<br><br> Jayne Silberman's book is fresh, authentic, beautifully photographed and written, and thoroughly informative. This is the work of a sensitive and extremely observant photographer who is uncommonly tuned in to the ways of these horses. Here is documentary photography of the highest order. This book will teach you about the intimate lives of these horses and to appreciate the beauty of the photography of them. -Barbara Van Cleve, photographer<br><br> Two years, several roundups, and countless trips to Assateague on her own or with me as a guide, Jayne has done just what she said she would do: produce the book. In this man's opinion, she has produced the best pictorial/informative book that has ever been done about the world famous wild ponies of Assateague, Virginia, and those in Maryland. Jayne started off as any other 'book-writer' but ended up as a good and valued friend, not only to me but to the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company. --Roe Duc-Man Terry, Public Relations Officer, C.V.F.C.
