Some excellent fictional horses. A very incomplete list.
- Ponty (Chalice, by Robin McKinley)
- Bill the Pony (LotR)
- Shadowfax (LotR)
- (actually most of the horses and ponies in LotR :-) )
- Roach (The Witcher; may count as more than one horse)
- the carthorse who chats to Ratty in The Wind in the Willows
(I am deliberately not including any of the Companions in the Mercedes Lackey Heralds of Valdemar series since they are not actually horses. ;-) )

"Graham Robertson Twice Over" | A double exposure portrait of W. Graham Robertson
W. Graham Robertson (1866–1948) is perhaps best-known today as the pale, elongated aesthete in John Singer Sargent's elegant full-length portrait of 1894. Robertson was, however, a remarkable renaissance man of the late Victorian era. He was a painter, illustrator, writer, and an avid art collector—most notably of the works of William Blake.
He designed costumes for Sarah Bernhardt, Ellen Terry, and other lights of the London stage. He was something of a social butterfly and knew a great many people in literary, theatrical, and artistic circles in the London of his time, including Kenneth Graham, Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, George Bernard Shaw, and Henry James.
He is the author of Life Was Worth Living (1921), a memoir of Edwardian charm, humour, and sensibility.
"In the Wake of the Willows"
“In the Wake of the Willows”
Salt marshes along the Westport River, in Massachusetts. (Lauren Daley/Herald-News)
Nightly over several recent weeks – interrupted by a bout of Bell’s palsy – I read to my 11-year-old boy (and his mother) an enchanting children’s book called In the Wake of the Willows, by Frederick Gorham Thurber and lovingly illustrated by his wife, Amy. The author, a Providence native, distant relation to the…

LE VENT DANS LES SAULES (Kenneth Graham)
Résumé
Au printemps, la rivière et les bois s'animent : les animaux sortent de leur terrier et redécouvrent les joies de l'amitié et de la vie en plein air. L'hiver revenu, ils goûtent à la douceur des longues soirées passées devant un feu de cheminée. Rat, Taupe et Blaireau coulent des jours heureux, et tout serait tranquille dans cette société en miniature si leur ami Crapaud, victime de sa vanité, ne se comportait pas comme un voyou et ne s'attirait pas toujours des ennuis. Leur sera-t-il possible de le raisonner un jour ?
Mon avis
C’est une lecture légère et emplie de bonheur. Il n’y a que des ondes positives et du bonheur qui découlent de ce roman. On fait la rencontre de mr Taupe, qui découvre les joies de la vie au bord de la rivière en sortant de sa zone de confort. Mr Grenouille, un aimant à catastrophes, Mr Rat, qui aime par dessus tout les longues journées d’été au bord de l’eau et mr Blaireau, un solitaire qui veille à la forêt.
Lire ce livre c’est comme participer à un pic-nique au bord de l’eau. On se prend à rêver d’oeufs mimosa et de barques sur une rivière ensoleillé. Pour celles et ceux qui ont connu Rougemuraille, on est dans la même ambiance les épées en moins.
A déguster seul ou en famille, pour soi ou à voix haute, cette pépite peut convenir à tout le monde de 0 à 150 ans. Pour ma part, un coup de coeur à propos duquel je n’ai absolument rien à redire.

Found some old artwork I made for the Penguin Competition to design the cover of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham. This was my final submission.
