Maiwald has built up a large following on social media and has been named one of the top 10 equine photographers of the world, according to her Facebook profile.
"Since I grew up with horses I always knew each of them is an individual creature," Maiwald says on her website. "But it was at the horse track I recognized, some of the horses are actually born to run and race with other horses. They long for it -- you can see it in the shed light upon their eyes."
