Description
Fergus, the cartoon horse with an international followingnow a bona fide social media staris back! Following up the immensely popular 2015 release of the rollicking comic-strip treasury The Essential Fergus the Horse, this new book explores the rise and mass acceptance of natural horsemanship training techniques via a comical conversation between Fergus and The Lad,” a young boy who is determined to ride him. Hilariously expressive illustrations and clever verse depict the dialog between horse and human as The Lad maintains his amiable approach, regardless of Fergus’ doubtful reactions and claim of equine superiority. Both endlessly entertaining and intentionally educational, Fergus: A Horse to Be Reckoned With is certain to inspire laughter in adult readers while making a positive impression on young, would-be equestrians.

Reviews
“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!”—www.midsouthhorsereview.com
- Dale LeathermanThe 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.

Fergus explores natural horsemanship training techniques, in a comical conversation with “The Lad”, a young boy who is determined to ride him. Hilarious illustrations and fun characters, “The Lad” keeps his friendly approach regardless of Fergus's claim of equine superiority. Entertaining and educational, Fergus: A Horse to Be Reckoned With is sure to make you laugh. Blaze Magazine
Fergus is back with a funny tale of a determined and persistent cowboy and his stubborn mount. The beloved cartoon is on a mission to teach “The Lad’ a lesson, but little does he know, The Lad is teaching him! —Equine Journal
Everybody loves Fergus, the cartoon horse who has become an international star. He had his first taste of fame with The Essential Fergus the Horse. Now he's back in Fergus, a Horse to be Reckoned with, the hilarious story of his adventures with "The Lad" who wants to ride him.- Dale Leatherman
To ride him! Of all the nerve!
Fergus vows to teach the boy who's the boss (the horse, of course), and does so in no uncertain terms. The Lad is kind and patient in the face of Fergus' antics, and their relationship grows. 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.
Kudos to author/cartoonist Jean Abernethy and Trafalgar Square Books for bringing Fergus to readers—and for continuing the cartoon horse traditions of the late Norman Thelwell, Britain's beloved artist; and America's own Ronnie Mutch, the late rider, coach and artist. Equisearch by Dale Leatherman
