The Desert Horses - their origin is now lost in time, the subject of endless speculation, where they part of the stud of the legendary Baron von Wolf of Shcloss Duwiseb, or military remounts belong to the SouthAfrican forces of WW1? Almost a century has elapsed since their escape from domestication, and time has enabled them to adapt to the harsh conditions of their life in the barren Sperrgebiet. This books is a celebration their continued existence, which is farmorethanbare survival - it is a joyous daily victory of Life over  a harsh land.

Beautifully illustrated with exquisite  black and white photographs, this rare book looks at the history, social structure, behavior and secrets of the famous wild horses of the Namib Desert.
