Personal statement
Kiirsten May says:
"I think somewhere, in every person, there is a reverence or fascination with horses. They are undeniably beautiful and powerful animals, and I really feel I can capture this spirit on camera.
More importantly, I believe seeing such a strong creature reduced to helplessness by the hand of a careless person really resonates with audiences. Bonnie Riddell deals with this every day.
I want to bring audiences into the life of this compassionate and driven woman through our common appreciation: horses."
