Come join this exciting adventure riding alongside wild horses! Ivana Crone has led 250+ mustang trips, and thanks to her longest experience as a guide she is able to bring her guests the closest to the wild horses and she unfailingly succeeds in tracking the most herds. With Ivana you'll have the amazing experience to meander amongst the wild horses for extended periods of time, both on foot and horseback, giving you the best opportunity to capture professional quality photos. This breathtaking  experience is rewarding for anyone, from clients who shoot with National Geographic equipment to others who prefer point & shoot camera or simply a phone. The learning focus is on the art, framing and wild horse behavior.

 

 

It is really an amazing feeling walking and riding alongside the wild mustang herds, observing the rearing battles of the wild stallions, gallops and mustang mares with their newborn foals.

Dr. Ivana Crone has a degree in Natural Sciences, she had a part in behavioral wild mustang studies for UC Davis, leading their field trips and giving presentations. She also worked as a freelance writer and photographer on her extensive travels, having published adventure stories spanning Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Alaska and more through publications such as "Cowboys and Indians", "Climbing", "Transworld Snowboarding" and others (f.e.: https://www.climbing.com/byline/ivana-crone/).

She had her first-hand contact with the American mustang 30 years ago when she joined the Lachota Sioux on one of her adventure trips, and participated in the Indians' yearly round-ups of the wild herds on the Pine Ridge Reservation, and tamed and rode the 2 year old foals, with Sam Looking Horse of Manderson by Wounded Knee. These days she captures the wild horses only on film, as they captured her heart. None of her photos are taken with the help of a zoom lens. She walks and lives alongside these herds, often tracking them for days, and while understanding their intricate social structure, she is recognizing and respecting the lead stallions and alpha mares, until they accept her proximity and resume their natural behavior. The result are very intimate close up images of the free spirit, beauty and magic of the wild horse across the dusty high plains of American West mountains, interwoven with stormy skies and dramatic backdrops of snowy peaks.
