Lusitano mare (Rodenmeyer)

Novels revolving around horses are not too rare...unless of course you're looking for a novel that will appeal to adults.  As a horse-crazy reader, who almost always has a book close at hand, I know it isn't easy to walk into a bookstore and find a novel about horses that is not written for children.  For this reason, I have decided to put together a list of authors and their books that pertain to horses.  This list is formulated not only from books I have, but also books I have found online.  Only eleven of these novels have I actually read; however, they all seem to be receiving good feedback from people who have.  I hope that this list proves useful to my fellow horse-crazy readers!
