I'm honestly surprised it's taken me this long to decide write this post
But also, not to brag, but I wrote Chincoteague from memory
In no particular order...
Black Beauty from Black Beauty
The Black from the Black Stallion
Misty from Misty of Chincoteague
Shadowfax from the Lord of the Rings
(And lets not forget Bill and Snowmane!)
Black Jack from Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Scipio from Heroes of Olympus
Flicka from My Friend Flicka
Tug and Abelard from The Ranger's Apprentice
Boxer, Mollie, and Clover from Animal Farm
Bree Hee Hinny Brinny Hoohy Hah "Bree" from The Horse and His Boy
Pie from National Velvet
Special Mention (a horse from a film rather than a story or book)
Dover the race horse from My Fair Lady
(Note: Does not appear on screen)

I've actually read all of these horses! I LOVED Misty of Chincoteague as a kid (who am I kidding, I still do), but I think my favorites in this list are definitely Tug and Abelard. :)

DeleteShadowfax was always my favorite.
