Surfer Dude: The Legendary Stallion of Chincoteague

Author:  Lois Szymanski

 
Born with unique coloring and a blue eye, a legendary stallion named Surfer Dude leaves his mark on the wild Chincoteague Pony herds of Assateague Island in this children's tale.

The story of this beloved wild stallion, who cared for his herd of mares over a lifetime on Chincoteague Island, is beautifully illustrated in vivid detail, from his distinctive blue eye to his white star and stripe, silver mane and tail, and chocolatey chestnut coat.

Destined for fame, Surfer Dude attracted fans from all over the US during his lifetime. Visitors to Chincoteague Island often looked for him as they crossed the bridge to Assateague Island and the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. His passing at the ripe age of twenty-three in the spring of 2015 touched people from across the United States and beyond. But the spirit of his gentle nature and the way he loved his foals lives on.

This charming picture book featuring illustrations by Linda Kantjas tells a story of love and the circle of life.
