Jean Abernethy has developed her hilarious equine character to bridge the gap between childlike humour and adult wit with handsome caricature Fergus - the little horse with a huge knowledge of humans and a never-ending energy to keep them on their toes... Few words, great big page illustrations which get Fergus jumping literally off the page, lots of happy laughs and of course, a happy ending! -- Wendy Parsons * The Essex Rider * The book is a laugh a minute for adults who have dealt with equines like Fergus, but there's also a wonderful, subtle lesson in horsemanship for young readers and aspiring riders. -- Dale Leatherman This is the first full-length story from cartoonist Jean Abernathy, and chronicles Fergus adventures as he undergoes his early training. There's plenty of good advice in there, presented in a whimsical verse form with engaging illustrations, ideal for introducing younger readers to horsemanship concepts. This is a fun read for both horse loving children and their parents. And the message about being kind to horses, understanding them, and giving them 'space' to be a horse is suitable for everyone. I reckon you'll like the book!
