ELSKA is a horse story like no other. Mainly because this story comes straight from the horse's mouth. That's right; Hapka lets Elska tell her own story.

The book begins with Elska's birth and follows her as she grows and learns the way of an Icelandic mare. Jump into this book and follow this magnificent horse through training, growing, and even a daring rescue.

Reading ELSKA took me back to my childhood when I read horse books by Marguerite Henry. I have to say, I enjoyed Hapka's story as much today as I would have back then . . . maybe more.

If you have a horse lover in your life, trot on out and pick up a copy of this book for them. I am passing this book on to my nine-year-old and I'm sure she'll love it.

I look forward to future HORSE DIARIES books.Show Less

    A great book!

    I would recomend this book for all horse and pony lovers every where. This is a story of a young pony and her owner. I will let you find out the rest because this should remain an adventure for you! Hope you like the book like I did!

    Kids book!

    I purchased this book because it had good reviews - and the point of view was refreshing. However, I found the book to be brief and inspecific / indescriptive. Also, it was extremely brief and I would not reccomend it for anyone over 8.

    ACTUALLY A REVIEW

    This is NOT SOME STUPID NOT-REVIEW LIKE ONE OF THOSE FIRESTAR CLAN DUDES. If you are one of them, stop it and tell your other little buddies too. This is a very very very very very very very very very good book. I recommend it for you even if you dont like horses. Listen to me. Please.
