Do you remember your favorite book as a kid? The one you read over and over again and never tired of? I have so many favorites, and almost all of them are horse books. I read every single horse book I could get my hands on! I’ve always love to read and enjoy sharing my passion for books with my daughter now. The list below is a combination of my favorite books when I was younger, my daughter’s favorites, and newer horse books I’ve just discovered and recommend. Books are so special to me and I hope that your kids will find a few on this list that they truly love and want to read again and again.
