Ellen Feld

Ellen Feld is an American author, most notably of children's books about horses, in particular, Morgan Horses. Morgan Horses are an American horse breed which traces its roots to Figure, also known as Justin Morgan, the first Morgan Horse, born in West Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1789.

Feld's work has appeared regularly in such publications as The Morgan Horse Magazine, Stable Management, Just About Horses, Tri-State Horse, Equestrian and The Appaloosa Journal. Feld lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two children (Nick and Holly), seven horses, and assorted pets.

The 'Morgan Horse' series (reading level ages 9–13) includes Blackjack: Dreaming of a Morgan Horse and its sequel, Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse. Both books were selected (in different years) as winners of Children's Choices, an award co-sponsored by the International Reading Association and The Children's Book Council. In 2007, Breyer Model Horses selected Blackjack: Dreaming of a Morgan Horse to be packaged with one of their model horses. Both books were adopted by Renaissance Learning for their Accelerated Reader program.

The third and fourth books in the Morgan Horse series are titled Rusty: The High-Flying Morgan Horse and Robin: The Lovable Morgan Horse. "Rusty" was also added to the Renaissance Learning Accelerated Reader program. Both "Rusty" and "Robin" have received the Adding Wisdom Award from Parent to Parent, an organization dedicated to recognizing excellence in children's products. In December 2006, this organization further honored these books by selecting Robin as one of their top 20 children's products of 2006, and Rusty as one of their top 100 products.
