Mercury's Flight: The Story of a Lipizzaner Stallion
(Breyer Horse Collection)

Annie Wedekind grew up riding horses in Louisville, Kentucky. Since then, she's been in the saddle in every place she's lived, from Rhode Island to New Orleans, South Africa to New York. Her first novel, A Horse of Her Own, was praised by Kirkus as "possibly the most honest horse book since National Velvet . . . A champion." She is also the author of The Breyer Horse Collection books, including Wild Blue, Samirah's Ride, and Mercury's Flight. She lives with her family in Brooklyn, New York.
