This stunningly-photographed book chronicles the story of two scientists who have devoted their entire careers to saving wild horse herds on Assateague Island National Seashore off the state of Maryland. They developed a birth control vaccine they were able to deliver to wild mares via dart. This has ensured that the island ecosystem remains balanced. If you love horses, this book gives hope that wild horses will survive, and information on how YOU can help!
