More About the Author

Award-winning author Ellen Feld began writing about horses more than twenty years ago. Her first writing jobs were for horse magazines. At first, she wrote for small, regional publications, but within a few short years her work began to appear regularly in large, national publications. Her articles have appeared in publications such as The Morgan Horse, Stable Management, Equestrian, Young Rider, Just About Horses, Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar, Tri-State Horse, and The Appaloosa Journal.

One day, back in 2001, while waiting for her next assignment to come in, Ms. Feld wrote a short story about a Morgan Horse. Several of her friends encouraged her to expand on the story and try writing a book. That short story became the first chapter of "Blackjack: Dreaming of a Morgan Horse." The book went on to win a coveted 'Children's Choices' award, co-sponsored by The International Reading Association and The Children's Book Council. The book was then picked up by an international toy company and packaged with a toy horse made to resemble Blackjack, the star of the series. Blackjack continues to sell well and to date has sold over 30,000 copies.

Ms. Feld continues to write horse stories for children. She has published seven books, with two more due out in late 2012. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two children, ten horses, and assorted pets.

This review is from: Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse (Morgan Horse Series) (Paperback)

This is a really cool horse book. I read the other book in the series last year. It is called Blackjack. This one was even better!!! I didn't know how Blackjack would get cured or how Heather and Frosty would get out of the woods. I read it really fast too cause I didn't want to stop.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse (Morgan Horse Series) (Paperback)

I read Blackjack which is the first book in this series and thought it was the best horse book ever. Then I read Frosty and I liked it just as much. This is a really cool series. I love how real the horses are and all the horse show stuff and trail riding stuff is neat.
