Saturday, May 10 is “Buy A Horse Book Day,” according to a press release from Trafalgar Square Books of North Pomfret, Vermont. Now in its fourth year, the event celebrates equestrian authors and favorite horse-inspired books by encouraging those who love horses to invest in continued education and horsemanship.

“Heels Down and Trafalgar Square Books are collaborating with equestrian authors all over the world to showcase a wide variety of horse-themed works, from children’s books and memoirs to educational and coaching manuals,” the release reads.

‘Endless library’

“There’s an endless library for us to continue to improve our partnership with horses, advance our horsemanship skills and take a moment to sit back and learn more about how horses think, live and react. By studying and learning from the books we read, we commit that newfound knowledge to practice in the ways we interact with our horses.

“Join us in celebrating the authors who share that wisdom with us, so we all can be better horsemen and horsewomen. These authors have inspired us with their storytelling. They’ve taught us more about the sport and horses’ well-being. And most of all, they’ve helped us forge a stronger connection to these animals we love so much.

“To participate, share your favorite horsey reads and why you love them on social media using the #BuyAHorseBookDay hashtag [you can also tag @heelsdownhappyhour and @horseandriderbooks on social media].
