Estelle Barnes Clapp

American author of just the one pony book, although she has written some adult non-fiction. Her pony story was included as part of the Grosset & Dunlap Famous Horse Stories series and is about a Morgan horse and its effect on a family. I don't know what the author's connection was to horses, if any.
