Wild Mustang Photography Experience

Ivana Crone, renowned international professional horse photographer and guide, leads this incredible experience that lets you meet the untamed wild mustangs of the high deserts of northern California. Imagine walking and riding amidst wild mustang herds untouched by human hands, while observing and capturing the majestic rearing battles of the wild stallions and mustang mares with their newborn foals. With over 28 years of experience leading more than 250 wild mustang trips, Ivana Crone ensures you’ll get surprisingly close to these magnificent creatures. She has an uncanny ability to find the most herds, making this trip truly unforgettable.

The highlight of this trip is the chance to get extremely close to the wild horses for extended periods, both on foot and horseback, so you can capture professional-quality photos. This breathtaking experience is rewarding for photographers of all levels, from those using National Geographic equipment to those who prefer point-and-shoot cameras or even simple phones. Ivana Crone’s educational focus emphasizes the artistic aspect of photography, encouraging you to observe the wild horse’s intricate social structure to determine the appropriate camera settings and framing before shooting. Even for non-photographers, this experience is truly extraordinary.

Award-winning wild horse photographer Ivana Crone will enhance your photography skills by sharing her insights on how to read the wild horse’s complex social structure. This knowledge will enable you to apply the right camera settings and framing before capturing stunning images. Another advantage of this trip is the remote destinations accessible exclusively on horseback, traversing the dramatic high-altitude deserts between the Sierra Nevada and White Mountains. The resulting views and images of the wild mustangs set against the towering snowy peaks are truly spectacular. Ivana Crone’s work has been exhibited in galleries across three states, and her photo “Little Love Bite” won First Prize at the Alpenglow Gallery Grand Opening in Colorado in 2018.
