I have a horse that feels like a main character to me in what I am writing. So any information on horses seems critical. I’m also dealing with a lot of mounted forces and having to determine how long it would take to get somewhere as well as resources needed to do so.

I just finished reading this book last night: Riders of the Pony Express by Ralph Moody. It was an exciting read and very informative. The author grew up ranching and knew a thing or two about horses. (His autobiographical series is also pretty good.) There are lots of details I wouldn’t have thought of, like how different types of breeds…

Hi! I’m writing a space western in which my main character is essentially a Pony Express rider for the first few chapters (and probably always at heart). The extent of my first-hand knowledge is riding my grandpa’s horse around the corral when I was a little kid. 😆 I’ve always wanted to do more, and maybe I should find somebody who can teach…

My WIP involves the middle ages and horses who will have knights riding them. Does anyone know the average weight a horse could carry if it is a knight?

Hi, everyone! We had several discussions on Facebook that hinted there are both experienced horsemen and women in this group, and writers including horses in their work.
