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 little ones 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!
Horses Lapbook ideas {free} If you want to make up your own horse lapbook, this website will give you some ideas to help you get started. Just remember, be creative and have fun!
Leonardo’s Horse lapbook {free} This one is great for older elementary kids because it it’s about horses and Leonardo da Vinci! It enables them to learn about horses and other things at the same time.
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 horse, they can also learn how to research. Pick up a few horse breed books from the library and you’re all set!
Horse Copywork:
A Horse book {free} cursive copywork can be boring, but not with this copybook! Writing about horses makes cursive so much more pleasant.
Horse Unit Studies:
History of the Horse Pack: by Beautiful Feet, complete study for intermediate students. This study is a ton of fun for horse lovers, especially if they love to read! Each horse book that is part of this study has pages to fill out about it and to learn more about horses.
Handsome Horses: This is a one week unit study by Amanda Bennett. Each day for five days your child will learn something new about horses!
Horses: This is a more in depth unit study by Amanda Bennett that is four weeks long. It gives suggestions and asks questions so that the students will learn to research on their own by looking in books or other sources. Horses is a great way to help your child learn to study their interest on their own.
Horses in curriculum:
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.
Horse poetry If you are looking for horse poems, this is the place to go. Search hundreds of horse poems here.
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!
Horse printables for fun:
Valentine’s Day cards are the perfect choice for your horse lover to give to their friends on Valentine’s Day.
Horse color by number This is a simple color-by-number page that is just what younger kids need!
Horse fun printables has tons of word searches, mazes, and coloring sheets. Everything you can think of, and more!

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!
jamie says
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.
Tracie says
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.
Kristen @ TeachingStars says

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!
Kim Sorgius says
Sorry. I wish I knew of some! We are going to be there before you know it!
silvana says
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.
Daisy Hemry says
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.
Tara says
I clicked on the Beautiful Horses of God’s Creation link but Currclick says it isn’t available?
Kim Sorgius says
Oh sorry. They must have removed it. So sad!
Kristin says
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.
