Do you have a little horse lover in the house? When I wa a kid, I devoured every horse-related TV and movie that ever came out. No, really…I have probably seen every horse show and movie released before 1992. Going back to the 50’s, y’all…that’s how serious I am.
Of course, back then, I had to catch episodes of Mr. Ed on Nick at Nite. Now, I feel like everything is available whenever you want to watch it. Which is awesome if you’re a kid!
Here are some fun horse TV shows for kids {updated in April 2020 with some recommendations from my 10-year-old horse crazy niece!}.

- Horseland (Amazon, Netflix) – This cartoon is full of cute characters, pretty horses, and fun horseshow scenes.

Looking to find a horse book, movie, toy that are for little BOY. They all seem to be girl related. He’s only 3!!

My favorite horse story of all time that is about a horse and a boy is The Black Stallion. That might be a little old for him right now, but the main character is a boy and those books are fantastic. The author wrote books for younger children that also feature a boy and his pony and I highly recommend. The book "Little Black, a Pony" is perfect for a 3-year old! You could also look for Breyer model horses, as they are appropriate for all kids (there is even a Black Stallion one!).
