Books and gifts for horse lovers of all ages

If you love uplifting horse books, you've found the right place!

Meet the author, Laura Holt-Haslam

I write uplifting, award-winning novels for tweens (and readers of all ages) who love horses, inspiring them to be more courageous, compassionate, and resilient. Horses play a big role in my books, but the heart of my writing revolves around themes of friendship, family, and the healing power of love and forgiveness.

Meet Max and Tater Tot, the River Ponies

Max, the miniature horse pictured to the right, has been a part of my family for over 22 years. He lives with his best friend, Tater Tot (Tate) at a farm beside the Saco River in Southern Maine.

About Laura Holt-Haslam

I write uplifting, award-winning novels for tweens (and readers of all ages) who love horses, inspiring them to be more courageous, compassionate, and resilient. Horses play a big role in my books, but the heart of my writing revolves around themes of friendship, family, and the healing power of love and forgiveness.


I'm the mother of two adult children and live in Southern Maine, USA, with my husband, two adorably naughty cats, and the friendliest dog you’ll ever meet. My daughter and I share ownership of Max, a 28-year-old palomino miniature horse who loves to jump.


You can find my books on most major online retailers (or get them free from your local library by requesting them), or support me directly through your purchases on this website.


Thank you!
