Happy Chinese New Year, Happy Year of the Horse Book Recommendations

Hello all!

Happy Chinese New Year, Happy Year of the horse to everyone! And welcome to a really fun post on my blog!

Because in honour and celebration of the year of the horse I am sharing several horsey books! From comics to non-fiction to YA, I got something for all of you! OF course, I got many more books, but haha, I had to make a selection or else this post will be very very long. So it was very fun selecting several books for my dear readers, books I would recommend. I really enjoy reading books about horses, and dreaming away when the kids go to boarding school with their horses, running with horses in photography books, rooting for the characters when they do fancy tricks and competitions with horses. The only reason I am not fully a horse girl is my allergies. Mostly dust and hay. Though I did, despite all that, ride a horse once + cleaned them out and walked with them. My allergies went overboard, but hey, my heart was singing. I think if I didn’t have any allergies I would have become a 100% horse girlie and would have begged my parents to sign me up for horse riding, haha.

I am also adding four Dutch books (or well, translated to Dutch but with no English counterparts (well, maybe the Rassenboek has that, but I cannot find anything)). So if you can read Dutch, or German/French these can also be yours to read~

Let’s get horsey!

  1. Happy New Year!
    There’s an Australian book series which was then adapted into a tv series called The Saddle Club which was very popular when my daughter was younger.
    When I was ten the horse I was riding shied at a kite and I was thrown but my foot got caught in the stirrup. The horse ended up stomping on my arm, barely missing my head, and broke it in four places. I was never keen on riding again.

    1. Thank you!
      Oh, I hadn’t heard of that one yet. 100+ books, wow, I got something to read! I can find a few on Amazon, so hopefully it isn’t too bad I am not reading them in order, haha. Will add a few to my Kindle. Thank you! And maybe see if I can find that show as well.
      Ouch, I can imagine that you would avoid riding after that, it must have been terrifying.
