Featuring the Beauty of Wild Horses and the Tough  Arizona Landscape of the Mazatzal Range

I just completed this piece highlighting our AZ Wild Horses along with some time-lapse of the surrounding mountain range called the Mazatzal which includes the iconic Four Peaks which stand at roughly 8,000 elevation. Four Peaks can be spotted from almost anywhere near Phoenix and Scottsdale.  There is even an amethyst mine at the top where the workers are helicoptered in for weekly duty.  The Amethyst from this mine is considered very rare and carries a hefty price tag.  As for the horses, you know my love for them already.

I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while and finally feel I got enough material to put it together.  Some of the footage you may have already seen, but there will be new material as well.  It’s about 6 1/2 minutes in length.  The music to me is especially moving, so much so, that at times my heart sings with joy and in the next moment tears are welling inside of me.  I’m quite happy with how this turned out and hope you enjoy it.
