Books about horses

Can anyone recommend me a picture book about horses for my two year old? She asked for a book about horses so I looked at every single picture book in our local library and not one single book about horses. We settled for a horse fact book. Which she does like but isn't a story and is very long. I'd like a recommendation I can request from the library.
Also unicorns don't count apparently.

Thanks

Seems like there's a gap in the market

Look on the internet for books by Marguerite Henry. She writes lovely story books about real horses and her illustrator is fab. She has a great book about the Viennese Lipizzaners and about wild horses on costal islands in the US (similar to New Forest ponies) and famous race horses.

I don't know if Clip Clop is suitable?

There's The New Pony too.
