Wild Horse Advocate, Writer, and Photographer Sandy Sharkey

Sandy Sharkey is a wild horse advocate, photographer, writer, guest speaker and retreat host. The first time she saw wild horses, it changed her life. The sight of these free spirits galloping across a mountain vista became an exchange of energy, unlike anything she had ever felt. Sandy became immersed in the world of wild horses, observing their close family bonds, beauty and free spirit. She also uncovered an ugly truth: wild horses are under siege, being rounded up and removed from their wilderness homes, families separated and many being sent to the slaughter pipeline. In 2018, Sandy created the 'Find Wild Horses, Find Yourself' campaign. She set out to encourage people to experience wild horses for themselves; to drink in the energy, the freedom, and the inner spirit of these animals- and to realize the profound positive effect that wild horses can have in our hearts and souls. Not only would these connections prove beneficial to us as humans, but being in the presence of wild horses would encourage people to add their voices for wild horse protection. Sandy has documented and experienced wild horses throughout North America, New Zealand, Mongolia, Patagonia and Portugal. She is also a guide for the wild horses of Sable Island. In recent years, Sandy has partnered with equine facilitated coach Debbie Draves Legg to host 'Find Wild Horses, Find Yourself' retreats in Alberta, Patagonia and Portugal, created to experience the healing powers of horses, both wild and domestic. 2024 will be filled with opportunities to join Sandy on wild Sable Island, and at retreats in Alberta and Patagonia. Her wild horse prints adorn walls in homes, offices and workplaces around the world.
