If you’re interested in a good horse story and don’t mind the not-so-subtle activism, I’d recommend Black Beauty! :)

The writing is told from Black Beauty's point of view, and follows his life as he exchanges owners, jobs, abuse and experiences. The book is a fairly short read, the audiobook is 5 hours long, but it's still a bit repetitive and generally so heavy and sad that it makes it feel longer than it is. I'm still glad I read it, as I continue working through the books that have been living on my TBR the longest which includes tons of classics such as this.
