I missed out on the genre as a kid because I am boy

The Black Stallion, King of the Wind, Justin Morgan Had A Horse, Misty of Chincoteague, Black Gold, Black Beauty, My Friend Flicka, National Velvet off the top of my head.
Great list, exactly what came to mind for me. I loved My Friend Flicka so much. Also Misty of Chincoteague had a whole series.
Just hoof it down to your nearest library and ask the librarian. They know how to horse around 🐴👍
The saddle club is a book series iirc. I just remember the TV show being popular when I was a kid, but I've never been a horse person so I can't say if the books or show are worth it.
It was kind of like The Babysitters Club. Fun and worth the read if you're nine, but honestly someone coming into it as an adult probably won't like those books.
I figured as much, but I thought OP might be looking to recreate the childhood experience.
Someone already mentioned Misty of Chincoteague so I'm gonna rep author Dick Francis, who wrote approximately one bajillion thriller/mystery novels involving racehorses
