With a dedicated passion, it is Tamara's hope to not only inspire others, but to help preserve for future generations, the thrill of thundering hooves and flying manes. "We all need to be a voice for the "living legends", wild horses are a vital piece of our cultural heritage, to loose them would be tragic and a disrespect to our past, present and future".
Tamara’s overwhelming urge to share the beauty and grace of the west and our wild horses with others finally compelled her to dive into photography full time; where Tamara began to dedicate years to learning the behavior and habits of our wild horses. Tamara is currently actively involved in preserving a place for mustangs in the wild.
"The West and all it stands for is a magnificent teacher", says Tamara. “from it’s ghost towns to our Native American's, it’s cowboys and galloping horses, the American West takes us back to something wild and unrestrained, reminding us of a sense of freedom that many of us have forgotten. Wild horses and our western lifestyle have so much to teach us”. As America’s last remaining icon of the West; the wild mustang, demonstrates the spirit of freedom and the fight for survival.
Tamara's work is a tribute to the Equine Spirit and our Western Heritage, both are a celebration of their remarkable presence in our lives. Tamara's images truly embrace and reveal the incredible spirit of the west.
Tamara Gooch has always been drawn to horses and the west, its history, romanticism and the vision of wild horses galloping across the landscape.
Tamara's early days in photography started over 20 years ago when she began photographing her daughters and their friends at horse shows. A part time career in equine photography soon followed as Tamara's imagery was sought out by breeders, trainers and ranchers.
