True Horse Stories to Laugh and Cry By
Enjoy family friendly true horse stories right here. Bring your best story telling voice and grab the kids for some good ol’ fashioned story telling fun.
Wherever you find horses and horsemen, you’ll find stories forged from real life events that often take even the participants by surprise. You've heard the old adage, “truth is stranger than fiction”…. boy howdy, ain't that true!
Here you’ll find genuine horse stories of thrilling adventure, quiet solitude, heart break and unexpected mishap. You’ll even find stories of events that seemed to be touched by the hand of God Almighty himself.
Every horseman has a story. Sometimes we tell stories to brag about our horses and sometimes we tell them for the lessons they hold. Tales of caution warn other riders of what not to do, reminding us all that anything can happen, any place, anytime….even to experienced riders.
There is something special about true horse stories (like the bear in camp). I think it’s because we connect more deeply with the story teller. It’s that human connection that draws us in.
We horsemen are full of mistakes, triumphs, fears and determination; and right there beside us...is the ever childlike, ever innocent, ever righteous horse that changes our lives.
These are my true horse stories, and stories of friends and other horsemen that I have had the privilege to know and ride with. Each story gives a glimpse into the events that shaped our real life experience as horse owners.
It is my expectation that you will be entertained by these horse stories. If you find that you are moved to tears and laughter, then I have done my job. Stories are meant to be told and shared. If you are enjoying them, spread the word so your friends can enjoy them too.
These are true horse stories. They are not always politically correct and they don’t all have happy endings, but they are full of life and they tell it like it is…or was…

The Snail and the Horse Story for Kids
This is one of the funniest horse stories for children. Once upon a time, in a vast jungle, there lived a horse. He was extremely proud of himself. One day, he came across a snail. When the horse noticed how slowly the snail crawled, he began to tease him. "Hey, snail! Would you like to have a race?" questioned the horse.
The snail was angered by the horse's behaviour. “Okay! Let us do it. "We'll meet on Sunday and will start the race," the snail stated.
The Horse and The Snail Story
The snail returned home and invited all of the snails to discuss the situation. Everyone heard about the race as he told them about it. All the snails made a plan to fool the horse. Since all snails looked identical, they planned to use their cleverness to fool the horse.
When Sunday arrived, they were up and out quite early. They began hiding at a close distance from one another all the way from the starting point to the finish line. Soon, the race started. The horse took a few steps forward before looking down. He noticed the snail in front of him. The horse quickened its pace, but the snail was still ahead of him.
The horse began to run faster and faster. The snail was still ahead of the horse, no matter how hard he tried. After a lot of attempts, the poor horse finally gave up.
The horse felt ashamed and exclaimed, " “Okay! I lose the race!" The snail started laughing, " Ha, ha, ha! So, will you ever make fun of anyone?" The horse asked the snail to forgive him and promised that he would never make fun of anyone in the future.
Moral of the Story
The story of the horse and the snail tells us not to make fun of anyone and how we should never boast about ourselves.
The Horse and the Donkey Story with Moral
You might have heard a lot of horse stories till now but this particular horse and donkey story for kids is an interesting one. It will also teach you an important moral lesson.
Once upon a time, there was a washerman who had a donkey and a horse. The washerman used to wash people’s clothes and made his earnings from that. One day, the washerman had loaded his donkey with a heavy bundle of clean clothes, while the horse carried nothing. The load on the donkey was very heavy.
The Horse and The Donkey Story
After walking for a long time, the heavy load of the clothes was hurting the donkey. So, he thought of asking for help from the horse. "Brother! These clothes are too heavy, would you mind sharing some of the loads? It is killing me." To this, the horse replied, “Why would I help you in that? I am not meant to do that. I am meant for riding, not for carrying any heavy load. It is the job of a donkey.”
The donkey was hurt and felt sad. He kept on walking with the heavy load on his back but soon, he was totally exhausted and fell down. Seeing him in this condition, the washerman felt bad. He soon realised his mistake and offered him water. He soon transferred all the heavy clothes from the donkey’s back and shifted them onto the horse’s back.
The horse was disheartened and soon realised that if he had helped the donkey in the beginning then he would not have to carry this load alone. He walked the rest of the mile and understood how difficult it is for the donkey to bear this heavy weight on his back.
He soon apologised to the donkey and promised to be always kind and helpful to others.
Moral of the Story
The story of the horse and the donkey teaches us that we should always be kind to all and be helpful to those who are in need.
