Last year Amateur Equine Photographer, Terry Fitch, won the nations approval and the People’s Choice award with her photo of a rescued horse adopted by country western singer, Willie Nelson. (click HERE)  This year the judges at the Equine Photographers Network have selected several of Terry’s equine shots as finalist but she is hoping for top votes on just one, “Dueling Band Stallions” (Extreme Action), in an effort to increase and enhance the public’s knowledge and appreciation for our disappearing national icons, the wild horse.
“I am just a regular day to day person”, states Fitch, “but if I can do anything to get the message out that our native wild horses are being managed into extinction by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) then I will go to any lengths to snap the photo that might turn someone’s head.”
Terry recently spent many frozen days, along with advocate Laura Leigh and husband R.T. Fitch, in the Antelope Complex of Northern Nevada documenting the abuse and wholesale cruelty rained down upon wild horses by the BLM, the very agency charged with protecting and ensuring the safety of our vanishing wild mustangs.
If you are concerned about the current plight of our American wild horse and would like to help Terry Fitch in this campaign then please click (HERE) and place a vote for “Dueling Band Stallions“, today.
