Authors, artists, and filmmakers from around the globe united November 29- December 2 to share their creativity at the sixth annual Equus Film Festival in Brooklyn, New York. The culmination of the event, the WINNIE awards, celebrates storytellers who show the rich history and diverse tapestry of horses in human culture through equestrian content.

Heather Wallace says, " To share my innermost hopes, anxieties, and passions to the world through this book was terrifying.  But I know that I am not the only person who has these same feelings. It's okay not to be perfect or to have a bad day. Earning the WINNIE award means I can reach a wider audience and hopefully help them become more confident. I am truly honored."
