Fergus: A Horse to be Reckoned With

© Trafalgar Square Books 2017

The cartoon horse and bonafide social media star is here to teach us a thing or two about horses, horsemanship, and the steps we take on the road to becoming partners.

   I believe that Fergus the Horse transcends the gap between childlike humour, and adult-based wit and depth of story, and his growing legion of fans of all age groups is a testament to this."

   How cool to have Fergus and his buddies corralled in one spot! I've enjoyed his escapades so much over the years. This book will be a great way to enjoy them again and share them with others."

By Marian Ehlers

Fergus and his rider go out for a trail ride. Yikes! They discover a property with ill horses and a “Do Not Enter” sign. Fergus’ rider teaches him S’mores Code. Author Marian Ehlers lost a very special horse named S’More, in an EV-1 outbreak. This book is lovingly dedicated to S’More, with the goal of raising awareness of EV-1, and preventing its spread.

   I was happy to employ Fergus in helping Marian Ehlers fulfill her very meaningful goal.”
