What is your favorite horse-related fiction novel?

Here are a few of mine... & & of course...

What's yours? I'm always on the lookout for new stories...

Jack by Brian Adams.
The Wild Heart by Helen Griffiths.
The Wild Horse of Santander by Helen Griffiths
Breed of Giants by Joyce Stranger.

Horses of the Sun - a beautiful coffee table book. A gallery of the world's most exquisite equines and as poetic to read in places as it is beautiful.

Wooops! Sorry - this is supposed to be about fiction.

Black Beauty still takes some beating.

I also like reading the biographies of racing legends like Red Rum by Ivor Herbert... What a horse!
I once saw a double rainbow and made a wish to see Red Rum. The following summer I saw him... twice!

Tui said it... Sorry Red Rum isn't fiction but his story of rags to riches is STRANGER THAN FICTION, as the saying goes.

It was the universe granting your every desire - just like with the muntjac kiss.

True Colors by Kristan Hannah.

I don't think I have ever discovered my "true" favorite horse book, but here are a few that I have liked: Wild Blue: The Story of a Mustang Appaloosa
Runaway
Dark Horse
Both Runaway and Dark Horse are part of a four book YA series by: Dandi Daley Mackall. All four books have a lot of focus on horses.
Most of my favorites such as:
Bonnie Bryant: The Saddle Club and Pine Hollow
Walter Farley's The Black Stallion series
Joanna Campbell's Thoroughbred series
Lucy Daniels Horseshoe Trilogy
Terri Farley's Phantom Stallion series'
And these horse books out of the Animal Ark series:
Pony on the Porch
Foals in the Field
Horse in the House
Ponies at the Point
Mare in the Meadow
Pony in a Package
Shetland in the Shed
Stallion in the Storm
Racehorse in the Rain
Foal in the Fog
Colt in the Cave
Stallion in the Spooky Hollow
I also like these books:
Whirlwind
Although I like the whole series, this is the only horse book: Animal Emergency: Pony in Trouble
Fear of Falling
Trickster
While most of the books I have listed are mostly children's books targeted for ages 8-12, this is the age level where I seem to find more of my favorite books at, both now and in the past, the last two are part of a really good and realistic YA series that goes by two names: Vet Volunteers and Wild at Heart. As far as I know all the books in the series were released under both names. The series is by Laurie Halse Anderson
And although not all books are on it, I have a Goodreads shelf specifically for horse fiction books: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/..., which you can look at any time you want to, to see what horse fiction books I have found and read.
