"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." - Jenefer Igarashi, Senior Editor, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

"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." - Catholic Library Journal

"...this book will be a hit with horse lovers." - Young Rider Magazine

"Younger girls will be inspired...adult girls will remember back to when just being near a horse was all you needed to make your day." Katherine Walcott, Eventing USA.

"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." - Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar.

"Blackjack is a fast-reading, enchanting story about a girl and a Morgan Horse. The book will greatly appeal to readers as there is plenty of horse action, starting in the first chapter. Author Ellen Feld has written a lovely story about the special bond between a girl and her horse." – Anthony P. Locorini, Editor, NYHorse

"Blackjack is a delightful book that will pull the heartstrings of any horse lover - it belongs in your Morgan library." - The American Morgan Horse Association.

"I loved reading Blackjack! In addition to this being perfect reading (and a great gift idea) for all young, horse-crazy girls, horse enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy the story too! It is definitely suggested reading for all our students to enjoy!"– Chris Cassenti, trainer of World Champion Morgan Horses and riders at Chrislar Morgan Horse Farm

"Ellen Feld’s first book, Blackjack, does a delightful job of capturing the adoration of an intelligent young girl for horses, especially for a brilliant Morgan stallion. In a winning style, with clear, correct information about the horses she knows well, Feld chronicles the story of Heather Richardson as she befriends a Morgan Horse breeder and evolves into a capable show rider, maturing in her skills and her emotions throughout. Tested by the illness of her horse-owning friend and the sale of his horses, Feld draws her lead character through an emotional roller coaster, during which the young heroine must prove level headed in order to achieve her goals. An excellent book for any young horse lover, Blackjack manages to be both engaging and provide insight into the complex world of modern horse breeding and showing."– Nancy Ambrosiano, co-author of Complete Plans for Building Horse Barns Big and Small
