Ultimate Homeschool List for Horse Lovers
Check out this horse-themed homeschool list for kids who love horses, including books, printables, and other learning aids.
They call it the horse bug, and she’s got it bad. My daughter simply can not get enough! She owns dozens of horse books and checks out new ones from the library each week. To say that she loves horses is really a major understatement.
Naturally, I wanted to capitalize on this interest in our homeschool. Here is the ultimate homeschool list for horse lovers. It is a wonderful resource for those who have students who may have the horse bug!
Horse Lapbooks:
All About Horses Lapbook is great for young elementary students. Lapbooks are a fun and easy project, and this one will teach them all the basics about horses!
Black Beauty Lapbook from Confessions of a Homeschooler, great for 2-4 grade. This lapbook will not only teach them about horses but also get them reading and comprehending the story, making it an excellent resource for literature studies as well.
Leonardo’s Horse lapbook {free} This one is great for older elementary kids because it’s about horses and Leonardo da Vinci! It ties in different things from a wide variety of topics including time periods, Da Vinci, Italy, and a little bit about horses.
Horse Lapbook {free} is another lapbook covering a variety of interesting horse topics. It is more detailed than some of the others, making it a perfect fit for an elementary student who wants to learn more!
Circle C Lapbooks go along with the Circle C Beginnings series, an excellent character-building and horse-filled book for younger kids. The lapbook packet comes with everything your child needs to have in order to work on it independently. The Circle C Adventure lapbook is also a great resource for older kids who enjoy hands-on learning.
Horse Notebooking Pages:
Blank Horse pages is the perfect place for printable horse resources!
Horse Breed Notebooking page {pictured below} I created this one for my daughter who loves to study the breeds. Not only can kids learn about the different breeds of horses, but they can also learn how to research. Pick up a few horse breed books from the library and you’re all set!
Horse Copywork:
Horse Anatomy Copywork will enable your child to practice copywork and learn parts of the horse at the same time!
Cursive Horse Parts Copywork teaches the child full definitions of each part of the horse. This is a great resource for grades 3-6.
Horse Unit Studies:
History of the Horse Pack: This is a complete study for intermediate students by Beautiful Feet. This study is a ton of fun for horse lovers, especially if they love to read! Each horse book included in this study has pages to fill out related to the book, which results in learning even more about horses! This is an excellent resource for your middle or high school student to use for literature in a way that is engaging and also useful for a horse lover.
Misty of Chincoteague Unit Study: This is a free and simple resource to combine horses and literature. It would be a great fit for a younger elementary child to gain some literature experience as well as learn more about horses.
Horses in Curriculum:
Circle C Adventures Enrichment Guide: This guide is designed to go along with the Circle C Adventure series and would be a great elementary or middle school literature curriculum. The stories are engaging and the guide, which is very affordable, helps your child learn even more. This guide covers language arts, writing, geography, history, math, science, and the Bible in a way that your horse-lover will appreciate. The Circle C Beginning enrichment guide is also available for ages 6-9.
Math Rider is a computer program that drills math facts through a fictional horseland. To complete quests, your child must answer simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. This is an older program, but it still runs well, and it is a great way to help your child know their math facts accurately and quickly. If they answer incorrectly, they have time to try again, and if they do not get it in time they will be given the right answer which allows it to be less frustrating.
Horse Poetry If you are looking for horse poems, this is the place to go. Search hundreds of horse poems here. This is a great resource for a study on poetry if you have a horse lover who wants to learn poems about horses.
The Trojan Horse is a free art download that will teach your child step-by-step how to draw the Trojan Horse!
Horse Lover’s Math Website Targeted at 4-6 grades, this website is packed full of math fun for every horse lover. It features posts about real horses or real horse events and asks math questions related to them. This will give your child experience with real-world problems, help them to understand them, and make it fun! It combines learning accurate facts about horses with practicing math skills in a way that is much more engaging and very practical. Note for parents: This site does not teach a creationist view of where the horse came from, so you may want to talk to your student about which posts they should and should not read.
Horse Printables for Fun:
Horse Crazy Girls is a website filled with printables, online games, and more! It’s the perfect place for horse-crazy girls!
Horse word search is a fun activity for the horse lover in your midst!
My Horse app for the iPhone. This game will give your child the experience of owning, caring for, and riding a horse in a virtual world.

We loved doing History of the Horse as a project! Then we got to go see the Lipizzaner horses perform while we were in Oregon. It was a great way to end our notebook project. Thanks for including my copybook in your collection!
Circle C is awesome! The website has free handbooks to print out that go along with each book. They teach a variety of things and my daughter and her friends will read them without being asked.
We went through a horse phase, too! A Journey Through Learning has a lap book that is a general mammal study, so you can pick which animal you want to lap book. Then, when your kids find another animal they want to study, you can use it again! 🙂 We also learned about the Chincoteague horses of Maryland and Virginia. There is a book called Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry that is on our book list for next year. She has written several other books about horses, too.
What a great compilation! I can’t wait to start surprising my daughter with some of these!
Love this post. My 7kids yr old is obsessed with horses (she just had a horse themed party). We volunteer at a horse rescue every week and she starts lessons next month. Thanks for these great resources.

My daughter is a freshmen and is wanting to work with horses once she graduates. Her love of horses is never going to pass! Do you have any suggestions for studies for high school in this area? I have been looking for electives for the next years. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Sorry. I wish I knew of some! We are going to be there before you know it!
Thank you! This is exactly what I need! My five year old loves horses! She has been riding since she was two! We are going to the Midwest horse fair in Wisconsin for the second time this April. I am so glad to have found all this wonderful resources to share with my kids.
THANK YOU!
For a slightly older child, 4-H sells their curriculum and publishes a multipart horse study. It was perfect for my 7th grader.
I hate schoolwork and I want some kind of horse workbook and study on that for highschool because I love horses and I own one, and ride a ton! I want to learn more about them. I am homeschooled. If anyone knows how to do this, tell me! I am in ninth grade.
I clicked on the Beautiful Horses of God’s Creation link but Currclick says it isn’t available?
Oh sorry. They must have removed it. So sad!
You can also call AQHA and ask them to send your child a free kid’s pack. It has a pencil, a sticker, coloring book and diagram of the American Quarter Horse. I know I am forgetting something but it is nice for kids to get something in the mail and it usually only takes about a week.
I would like to order the Homeschool packet for the Horse Lover
I have a small enrichment class at a horse ranch and this material would work perfectly.
How can I order and pay for this materail
Please let me know
Thank you

Hi Lynette,
These are not our products but if you click on any of the links in blue it will take you to the website where those materials are available. 🙂
Thank you for your help
I have a daughter that is still horse crazy. She now raises performance horses. For more information check with the County Extension agent or the 4-H Clubs for their and other states horse project information. One that my daughter enjoyed and learned so much was the Equine Vet project; which led to a job drug testing race horses at the track in Seattle WA.
