Good horse girl books?
-
The Black Stallion, King of the Wind, Justin Morgan Had A Horse, Misty of Chincoteague, Black Gold, Black Beauty, My Friend Flicka, National Velvet off the top of my head.
Great list, exactly what came to mind for me. I loved My Friend Flicka so much. Also Misty of Chincoteague had a whole series.

I figured as much, but I thought OP might be looking to recreate the childhood experience.
Actually, this is me sharpening my genre whetstone. I'm writing a book set in a magic school, main character is taking a pegasus-riding class, and its becoming clear that in the climax of the book I'm going to have to describe some very complex aerial horsemanship when I barely understand how a horse thinks.

Maybe they can dogfight some Nazgûl on horses.

From my understanding of horses, they don't think they just fucking R U N. It's all they know how to do.
Not sure how trained horses act. Probably more D I R E C T E D R U N.

The saddle club is a book series iirc. I just remember the TV show being popular when I was a kid, but I've never been a horse person so I can't say if the books or show are worth it.
Agreed. The books are just as good as the show.

I missed out on the genre as a kid because I am boy

I'll have to level with you, horse fiction doesn't usually accurately portray the way horses think. If you're going with fictional magical pegasuses I wouldn't worry about being accurate to real life and just do whatever works for you.

They do think, they just run first lol.

Someone already mentioned Misty of Chincoteague so I'm gonna rep author Dick Francis, who wrote approximately one bajillion thriller/mystery novels involving racehorses
I liked them as a (vaguely horse-interested) kid
