I am a bit surprised that nobody has yet mentioned s-f/fantasy’s horse-becomes-a-real-human-woman trilogy yet: Doranna Durgin’s “Dun Lady’s Jess” (Baen Books, August 1994), “Changespell” (February 1997), and “Changespell Legacy” (June 2002). (See my reviews of the first two in Yarf! #35, April 1995, and #48, May 1997, reprinted in the Anthro Library.) The plot is/are completely different from MLP:EG, but MLP:EG fans should enjoy the comparison with this more serious/dramatic take on the trauma of a mare’s turning human and having to learn to function in a human world (and falling in love with her handsome human rider, since this is a woman's romance/fantasy series).
