Thanks for the replies. Had some Christmas money left over and was looking for ideas!

Just purchased:
- Train Your Young Horse with Richard Maxwell: An Effective Education from Foal to Fully Grown
- War Horse by Michael Morpurgo
- 100 Ways to Improve Your Riding: Common Faults and How to Cure Them by Susan McBane
- Horses Never Lie: The Heart of Passive Leadership by Mark Rashid

You can't go wrong with these

I'm using the Richard Maxwell one with my 5yr old. excellent guide and I'm going back to these basics with my older one.
war horse is a good read and I found it emotional.
All the Mark Rashid ones are fab and enjoyable reading.

I love all Jilly Cooper books! Currently reading Polo on my beloved new Kindle

Non-fiction - any of Charles de Kunffy's books (dressage)

Non-fiction - Six Ponies by Josephine Pullein-Thompson. I have a very old hardback copy which I was given by my aunt when I was 9 and I have read it to death. Several decades later it is still my favourite.

Another fan of the Ruby Ferguson books here! Anyone remember the Silver Brumby books? I loved them as a kid.

Eventing Trilogy by Caroline Akrill - totally legendary!

Fly-by-Night by K.M. Peyton - more 'gritty' and realistic but equally brilliant

Up, Up and Away by Lucinda Prior-Palmer - proof that dreams could come true!
