10 New Equestrian Books to Add to Your Reading List

Summer is almost over and you might find yourself searching for a new book to read or flip through for inspiration. I’ve rounded up some new releases for equestrians of all ages, including some gorgeous coffee table books.

While I was on my baby moon in Mexico, I began reading my friend and Barn Banter co-host’s new book, Marguerite, Misty & Me. I’ve had the inside scoop on this book for a while and am so impressed by Susan’s research and the delightful stories she uncovered. The other books I’m especially excited about include Horses of Iceland – hello beautiful photographs and Equestrian Life in the Hamptons.
