Winner of two national book awards! Annie is a Moonbeam Children's Book Award Bronze Medal winner, plus a Reader Views Literary Award winner!
The newest book in the popular Morgan Horse series introduces a new horse, Annie. Uncertain of her origin, Chauncy decides to bring Annie home to Gallant Morgans, but he makes it clear she can only stay if he can locate her registration papers. When Heather discovers Annie's true identity, she is afraid to tell Chauncy, knowing the horse may be returned to a cruel trainer. Will Chauncy send Annie back to her original owner? What will happen to Annie if she is returned? Heather hides the truth from her friend and soon events spiral out of control. In addition to the mystery, this book also includes the exciting Justin Morgan class, the famous class that re-enacts the amazing athletic feats of Justin Morgan, and the Morgan Trotting Races, held on the same dirt road that Justin Morgan raced over 200 years ago. Both events are treasured by Morgan Horse enthusiasts around the country.

"Ellen Feld has given kids another top-notch book in her award-winning Morgan Horse series...This book combines an exciting story with a lot of useful, practical information. It's a well-rounded way for young horse lovers to enjoy an entertaining book, and also to learn about equine behavior, proper horse care, and riding safety...Horses are portrayed as sensitive and thoughtful creatures, and the author beautifully captures the bond between a horse and a young girl. Bottom Line: Anouther blue-ribbon winner!" - Kate Tully, Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar
"Writer Feld has crafted a magnificent tale that includes examples of truthfulness, dependability, comradeship, and human nature, in the quick paced chronicle of a lost mare and an adolescent girl. Ellen F. Feld, equine columnist, ardent horse lover, respected author, touches the compassion and passion of the teenaged horse loving set." - Molly Martin, The Compulsive Reader
"Children's Choice Award-winning author, Ellen F. Feld, has done it again. The latest book in Feld's Morgan horse series is Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse. I found myself lost in a world of mistrust, sadness, and in the end, friendship and love. Feld did a wonderful job teaching the reader about making right choices, learning to trust in others, and when to speak up against wrong doing." - V.S. Grenier, Editor, Stories for Children
"A must-read for young horse lovers, this book is filled with intrigue, adventure, friendship, and the unmistakable bond between a girl and a very special horse." - Liz Ryan, Just About Horses Magazine
"Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse will appeal to younger readers, girls in particular. The characters are very well though out, and the main female character (Heather Richardson) has a strong voice. For those who are familiar with equine terminology, Annie will be an easy read. For those who do not know much about horses, the story will give a good insight into the world of horse shows, equine care, and the legend of Justin Morgan." Xavier-House Reviews
"Ellen Feld really knows what young horse lovers like. With her new book, Annie, she has created an exciting and suspenseful new story for anyone in the teenage crowd who adores horses." - Irmarie Jones, The Greenfield Recorder
"Ellen F. Feld, award-winning author, equine journalist and phenomenally passionate horse lover, once again reaches out to the hearts and dreams of the teenaged horse loving set with her anxiously awaited new book Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse. No doubt about it, I'm simply captivated by Ellen Feld's Morgan Horse series. I like the way Feld easily reintroduces characters from the earlier books, horses and people alike. This book can stand alone, but is even better if you're familiar with the others in the series. She really knows about horses and, without trying to be trite, is the horse whisperer of the teen horse set. Anyone who doesn't like horses will want to fall in love with them after reading any book by Ellen Feld, and Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse is no exception." - Deb Fowler, Roundtable Reviews
“Annie is more than just a story about winning show competitions for horses. It’s about how to bond with and treat horses, any animal for that matter, and how that brings out the best in all involved. Even if you’ve never ridden a horse, you’ll wind up wanting to try after reading this sensitive and tender novel, and you will definitely be even more interested in finding out more about this particular breed of proud, talented Morgan Horses! Exquisite! Wonderful!” Viviane Crystal, Crystal Reviews
"Young girls are known for their love of horses and there’s a new addition to a series based on Morgan Horses, written by Ellen F. Feld. Annie: the Mysterious Morgan Horse ($9.95, Willow Bend Publisher, Goshen, MA, softcover) has debuted. The first two titles in these series have each won a Children’s Choices award from the International Reading Association. Ideal for ages 9 through 12, this story will keep them entranced by Annie’s adventures while learning about show competitions and proper horse care." Alan Caruba, Bookviews.com
"Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse" is an absolutely fabulous book! Ellen F. Feld has a thorough knowledge of horses and pleasure riding. I simply loved this book! I hope Ellen F. Feld writes many more books in this series. Horses and young girls seem to have a great bond. Even if this book is written for young readers, I know that it could be enjoyed by horse lovers of all ages. If you want to saddle up with a great book, you would definitely enjoy Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse." - Brianne Plach, Reader Views
