Horse Lovers Central discussion

For autumn - or spring if you are in the Southern Hemisphere - members said they would love to read a book about their favourite colour of horse or pony.

Tell us your books in this thread, and suggest some titles for others.

This is the page with the challenge listed, where you can sign up to read.

Sign up to the challenge, which is shown at the top of the discussions on the Group Home Page.
If you don't see the latest active challenge click the link Challenges or use the link above this paragraph.

You will be asked which shelf the books to read are on. If you say horse and you do not have a horse bookshelf, Goodreads will put one in to your personal list of shelves.
When you complete a read you have placed on that shelf, Goodreads sees the progress.

Now the challenge registers that you have read some of the books.
Tell us your titles in this thread.

Authors are allowed to mention their own suitable books, as they could read their own books for this challenge.
Series are allowed too.

Have fun!

My two mares were dark bay so bay is my favourite colour. I have just been reading this fantastic memoir, so I'm putting it towards my challenge.

Chasing Dreams: The True Story of the Youngest Female Tevis Cup Champion

If your favourite colour is black -

Palomino -

Pinto -

Appaloosa -

Grey -

Another bay, historical. And more recent.

Dun or grullo / grulla.

What about the little white horse?

This one, Claudia, Good tip!

Chestnut / sorrel.

More bays.

Thanks for the Chasing Dreams suggestion, I will have to get a copy.

Highly recommended!

Sarah Hickner kindly recommends to me a fantasy about a black horse.



My Queendom for a Horse by Bridget E. Baker

I have also loved grey horses all my life so I sneaked in a grey horse book.
Grey Motive

A bay and a chestnut feature in this book for YA readers and interested adult readers.

The Jockey & Her Horse (Once Upon a Horse #2): Inspired by the True Story of the First Black Female Jockey, Cheryl White

Another chestnut, which I think upon reading the book is actually chestnut roan, or strawberry roan as we call it here. The sire started out as chestnut and became progressively greyer, and the two-year-old colt is chestnut with a few white hairs.

Hair Colour in the Horse

Horse and Pony Colours: Which one would you choose?
