Ellen Feld zooms me back to my childhood and memories of riding with my friends. Yep, we did some crazy things with our horses…and so many times it was a result of peer pressure. Our horses, like the Morgan horse Robin, seemed to know better and were there to help teach us so many valuable lessons. Ellen’s story takes hold of this reality and addresses it with a mature hand and detail that floods the senses with the smell of horses and leather, the sounds of hoofbeats and laughter, the sight of green grass and wonderful Morgan horseflesh, the feel of the reins and a freshly-curried coat, and the sheer bliss of spending time with horses and friends. I have to wait (somewhat impatiently) while my son finishes each new book that Ellen writes!
Once again Ellen is right on the mark when it comes to a believable story with the delicious overtones of whimsy and fantasy that horses conjure up in all of us. All of Ellen’s books are worthy additions to any library of children’s classics, and are a recommended read for all ages and genders. We await more additions to the trusty list!
As an adult Morgan horse owner I found myself transported back to the days of my youth when every climb on a horse was an adventure. Ellen Feld has captured that youthful pleasure in knowing and having a horse friend. A great book for youngsters but just as enjoyable for us older horse crazy girls.
