SARATOGA SPRINGS – While everyone is focusing on the three-year olds this Saturday, it can’t be forgotten that every great horse has to begin somewhere. Lisa Miller documents these endearing beginnings in her book, “The Foal Project: Babies of Waldorf Farm,” which was released July 21. In this 48-page photography book, Miller captures the special connection a mare and her foal share at birth.
Saturday, August 29, Lisa Miller will be signing copies of “The Foal Project” at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, located at 191 Union Ave, Saratoga Springs, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be copies of the book to purchase at the event.
“The Foal Project” started as a traveling gallery show to raise awareness and funding for equine assisted therapies. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book will go directly to the Foal Project Donor Advised Fund to fill grant requests from qualified 501(c)(3) equine assisted therapy centers. Therapy horses provide comforting support for adults and children suffering from a wide range of disabilities, such as Autism and PTSD.
The original Foal Project Images are currently on display, and available for purchase, at Fortunes Restaurant, located at the Saratoga Casino and Raceway, until December 2015.
Though she has a soft spot in her heart for horses, Lisa Miller specializes in wedding and fashion photography and has recently opened a new art gallery in Saratoga, Studio di Luce. The studio is located at 480 Broadway, Suite B in Saratoga Springs.
