Hearbeat for Horses is a collection of writing and photographs brought together in honor of horse crazy girls - those who might only live in the fantasy world of books and porcelain statues, who pin posters onto their walls and dream of jumping like National Velvet, or who actually compete in rodeos and horse shows in an attempt to win that blue ribbon.

DeMari and Chester together have created an equestrian dream, with selections and pictures that give us a glimpse into this special, secret world.
