Inspired in part by the success of the
film adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's
War Horse, both fictional and nonfictional horse stories have also experienced a resurgence in interest. One brand-new addition to the genre is
The Eighty-Dollar Champion: Snowman, The Horse That Inspired a Nation. Similar nonfiction reads recommended by Novelist include
Seabiscuit: An American Legend (also a
movie) and
The Horse God Built: The Untold Story of Secretariat. For horsey fiction, try
Riding Lessons and its sequel
Flying Changes by the bestselling author of
Water for Elephants (also a
movie). Happy reading, neigh-bors!
