Breed Books
Below is a list of pony books featuring specific breeds. It isn’t exhaustive, by any means, so if you know of more please let me know!
Most of the books listed have that breed as its major equine character: if the character makes a brief appearance, like Dot the Shetland in Ruby Ferguson’s A Stable for Jill, I’ve indicated this by naming the character in brackets after the author.
