Some ghost stories can be a little too scary or sad for children. The books featured below are neither. We are a mother and daughter team here at Sage and MI, and years ago we loved a good ghost horse book that didn’t make us sleep with the lights on or cry for hours.
Horse Ghost books are great for horse crazy kids any time of the year, but the Halloween holiday season is an especially perfect time of year for these spooky stories. Holiday themed books are an excellent way to get younger children interested in reading.
The collection we have shared in this post includes books for a few different recommended age ranges, including ages 6 – 12 years. They are definitely some of our favorite ghost horse books for kids. We hope you enjoy these books just as much as we have.
Colt in the Cave – Animal Ark Hauntings #4
Colt in the Cave – Animal Ark Hauntings #4
Colt in the Cave is our all time favorite. We re-read this book a few times a year, and other books in the Animal Ark series as well. Colt in the Cave is definitely one of the books that sold us on the opinion that ghost horses are not just for Halloween. The recommended age range is 9 – 12 years.
Brave Horse – Mustang Mountain, Book 6

The Great Pumpkin Ride
We never read this book, but The Great Pumpkin Ride looks like another amazing horse ghost book for kids. The reviews are excellent and it seems quite humorous, with neither a scary or sad description. “A humorous Halloween adventure story for kids.”.
