I have been photographing the western life since the late 1970's. The series on Women and Their Horses was a favorite because of my background with horses. I am now a senior citizen and my life-long love of horses, whether packing mules, showing in western classes, or riding on a equestrian drill team shows I've loved the life. These pictures and verses show the love I have for Women and Their Horses. I have other photo series on the California Cowboy, Ranch Kids, and Western Trails that will come out in the future. Watch for them.

Karelin, what a beautiful book reflecting women and their passion for horses. This book should be on everyone's coffee table.....especially cowgirls. Congratulations. Rena and Mark

A good friend wrote this comment on my Picture Trail which advertises model horse tack: Foothill Writer: As always, your pictures have the quality of having been there to smell the dust, sweat, and perfume. Great job Karelin.
