The first book that came to mind was Beverly Jenkins' Night Hawk, but I'm not sure if sexy times on a horse was part of the requirement. :) If not, Devil Cynster definitely belongs there.

Kari Lynn Dell's Texas Rodeo series has a lot of horses. Her standalone, Last Chance Rodeo centers on finding a long lost horse.

The Mimi Matthews Belles of London series has all equestrian heroines with great horses!

katyjameswriter.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yesssss those books are so good! And so horsey!

What about a FaRo by @mallorydunlin.bsky.social where one of the MMCs was a waterhorse? Actually she has two with waterhorses.

To Run With The Wild Hunt (bonus points for extra horse)

The Gardener And The Waterhorse

Aw, thanks for the shoutout! I'm a former horse girl whose favorite mythological creature is kelpies, and it shows haha

Any chance I have to talk about your books, I take it! Can’t wait for the next one. 🥰

melonreads.bsky.social•20 days ago

Wasn’t there one where they go at it atop a horse?! Also, years ago I read a Sandra Brown where there was some shenanigans happening on a horse.

bandherbooks.bsky.social•20 days ago

!!! did @jenreadsromance.bsky.social write an article about who did it better on a horse??

jenreadsromance.bsky.social•20 days ago

I did! hold on. let me find it.

Ok but now I’m curious about who you removed. 👀

jenreadsromance.bsky.social•20 days ago

some lady doing racism back during the RWA collapse.

melonreads.bsky.social•20 days ago

YES

thelindashow.bsky.social•20 days ago

Oh there's a Lindsey where they do that, Savage Thunder. I do not recommend it because it for sure did not hold up.

rkbezzie.bsky.social•20 days ago

I will second that. I cringed and skimmed a lot of that one.

amayna60.bsky.social•20 days ago

She’s not a major character but the “neat bay mare” Julius often rides in A Fashionable Indulgence by KJ Charles is called Claribel.🤗🐴

(For some reason that info was right there when I opened the ebook to look up her name.)

Lots of romantasy could be added to this list, though the one that leaps to mind is Bryony and Roses by @tkingfisher.com While technically a pony, Fumblefoot (who comes by his name honestly) deserves an honorable mention.

bandherbooks.bsky.social•20 days ago

FUMBLEFOOT!

jayceejarvis.bsky.social•19 days ago

It's a Beauty and the Beast retelling and Fumblefoot has a rough time of it LOL

Midnight is my next read! On my bedside table right now.

bandherbooks.bsky.social•20 days ago

what is the horse's name :eyes:

ariana-reads.bsky.social•20 days ago

I don’t remember 😭

shoesforall.bsky.social•20 days ago

I loved this romance!

raqinromance.bsky.social•20 days ago

In Julie Garwood's Honour's Splendour, the warrior MMC's mighty steed "betrays" him by favoring the FMC. She even changes the horse's name.

I have a series set in Australia starting with Merindah Park. https://www.reneedahlia.com/books/merindah-park/

@lianainbloom.bsky.social To Tame A Scandalous Lady!

foodycatalicia.bsky.social•19 days ago

LA Witt's Underdog has a lot of very horsey horses in it. It also introduced me to the Western Pleasure category in shows, which is a romance series title if ever I heard one.

theresawriter.bsky.social•20 days ago

I have a horsish historical romance series! Romance of the Turf, set in the Regency horse-racing world. https://theresaromain.com/books/

theresawriter.bsky.social•20 days ago

Horse names...Golden Barb and Nottingham, 0.5
Epigram and Pale Marauder, bk 1
Jerome and Hattie, bk 2
Agh agh I know there are more. Racehorse names are a rich and hliarious vein.

bandherbooks.bsky.social•20 days ago

these are GREAT

jonesyzajkolove.bsky.social•19 days ago

One Dance With a Duke by Tessa Dare is one of my favorites! It features a horse in the main plot.
