With the help of Blackjack's owner, Heather learns to ride and show the horse and the two quickly form a very special bond. When tragedy strikes and Blackjack falls into the hands of an abusive trainer, Heather must find a way to rescue her horse before it is too late...
Editorial reviews:
Jenefer Igarashi, Senior Editor, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine:
"Mrs. Feld has a true gift in capturing the imagination and engaging the reader.
It isn't always easy to find a set of books that will be read willingly by
pre-teens! Kudos to Mrs. Feld on her delightful Morgan Horse Series."
Catholic Library Journal:
"These books are packed with information about the care and training of horses.
The reader will experience the thrill of competition in the ring as Heather and
Blackjack participate in shows and the feeling of flight as she and Rusty jump
the fences. The stories are well constructed with exciting plots and interesting
characters. The strongest characters are the horses that exhibit their
personalities as they face life's challenges. Anyone who loves horses will love
this series."
Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar:
"It is nice to read a junior novel that focuses on a teenager and a Morgan
Horse. Ellen Feld has written a warm and rewarding horse story. This book would
make a great present for a young rider and reader."
