Good horse books!?!?!?

Question

I'm looking for some good horse related books. Nothing with too much drama, more like a sisterhood of traveling pants, but with horses.

Also, What are some good educational horse books? training guides and indepth herd instinct books?

I'm 20. So no saddle club type books plz!

thanks!

Jaz!

Answer 1

Hm when I was 11 I used to read the 'Thoroughbred' series with Ashleigh Griffen (but since you're 20 that's a bit under you, lol).

Um, I have a great french book about horses, but It hasn't been translated into English (yet!).

Try 'The Encyclopedia of Horses & Ponies' by Tamsin Pickeral.

The only setback to that one is that it might be a bit expensive.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Chicken soup for the Horse lovers soul (#1 and #2)

they are great books and they are real stories.

i read those books over and over again because the stories were so good!! there are funny, sad, and all sorts of horse stories in there!!!

hope you read them!!! cause there great!!!

Answer 3

If you want a really good horse training book...get "Storeys Guide to Training Horses"...that book tells you everything on how to train a horse! It tells you how to imprint them,break them,train them for anything,really! It costs around $20.00 but its well worth it!

EDIT: I bought this book at a book store in a mall in my town,but tractor supply and co-op also carries this book.

Answer 4

Look for books by Joyce Stranger - she has written quite a few.

Answer 5

Hi,

I have read some GREAT horse books recently, My Friend Flicka, Thunderhead and Greengrass of Wyomming, are all really good , all by Mary O'Hara. Also Monty Roberts books are really good and they show you how to train your horses with natural methods, (Join-up) and they have educational books to.

Hope that helps,

you should definatly read th flicka series though, its not "kiddy" or anything but really great and i couldnt put it down.

Answer 10

I love the book titled "Paint the Wind" by pam Munez Ryan! I just Read it today it is 316 pages! Also if you want a shorter book "Riding Freedom" is great that is by pam too! All of Pam munez Ryans books are AMAZING! for education books " How to think like a horse" by Cherry Hill is GREAT! horses for dumbies is a good informational book also!

Answer 11

For education, I'd recommend this great old classic:

The Complete Training of Horse and Rider by Alois Podhajsky (he was long-time master at the Spanish Riding Academy in Vienna and his works on horses and horsemanship are like "scripture" to those of the classical school of riding)

Answer 12

umm idk about educational books, but For Love of a Horse by Patricia Leitch is a really good book and not too young (pretty sure about this - it's been awhile since i read it but i think it isn't too young - i remember it almost made me cry and i don't cry easily!)

Answer 13

Well I only have one horse book that I can think of that I have; Chicken Soup For The Horse Lovers Soul. It has a whole bunch of different, true stories about horses and their owners/riders.

And a really good educational horse book that I find really helpful is called "The Usborne Dictionary Of Horses And Ponies A Complete Guide To Riding And Ponycare"

Hope this helps a bit, good luck!

Answer 14

I like "Danza!" and "The Black Stallion."

Answer 15

Here is a good website about horse books. There is a lot to chose from.

Hope that helped!
