* Zilpha Keatley Snyder takes this to a mysterious dark level in her second book, ''Season of Ponies''. Here the ponies are more like Arabian horses, and they are mostly soft grey with unusually colored manes and tails.

* ''Literature/EarthsChildren'':
** In ''The Valley of Horses'', Ayla (who is about 14 or 15) adopts an orphaned foal out of loneliness and becomes one of the first people to tame and ride horses. She absolutely adores her horse Whinney (along with her eventual foals, Racer and Grey) and regards her as one of her best friends (Whinney is also one of Ayla's ''only'' friends for close to the three years, as there are no people living nearby).
** In ''The Mammoth Hunters'', Latie (who is around 13) quickly becomes attached to Whinney and Racer and is thrilled when Ayla lets her ride on Whinney. She even states a desire to tame a horse of her own someday, asking Ayla how she did it.
** Ayla's teenaged sister-in-law Folara is fascinated by Ayla's horses and even considers trying to raise one of her own.
** In ''The Land of Painted Caves'', Ayla and Jondalar's daughter Jonayla is fond of riding horses, like her parents, and takes Grey (Whinney's second foal, who was born round about the same time as her) as her personal mount.

** Felicity Merriman is a horse lover, finding herself in more trouble for thinking about horses more than anything else and even doodling them in her copybook. One of her books' main plot lines has her befriending and rescuing an abused horse, Penny. Along with her fancy colonial clothes and being one of the older characters, this is probably another reason for her continued popularity.
** Modern characters Nicki, Saige, and Lila all have horses as part of their collections. Nicki rides her horse Jackson wen she's feeling down. Saige trains her grandmother Mimi's horse Picasso for the locla parade. Lila attends riding camp and befriends a palomino, Hollyhock.
