Creative writer Abby Letteri has long been an admirer of horses.
Watching the horses in her paddock one day, it dawned on her how much humans impacted the way they lived.
So she decided to bring her two loves together - horses and writing - to explore the true nature of the animals.
It became the topic of her PhD in Creative Writing which she recently received from Victoria University's International Institute of Modern Letters.
Her research took her from Iceland to the Mongolian Desert, where she studied the behaviour of free-living and wild horses.
