I'm not really sure that these count as curricula but there are some nonfiction books on horses appropriate for young kids and on a 1st-3rd grade level.

Bellwether Media books are at our library and Pal loves them. They have a few titles on horses.
Level 1 -- Horses

Level 1 -- Baby Horses

Level 4 -- Caring for Your Horse

There is also My Very Own Horse Book by Klutz publishing, its said to be a 3rd grade level according to the amazon page.

Winter Promise has an equine science program that my daughter is loving!  It has a lot of suggested literature that is horse-related, but the reading is optional and the curriculum can be completed without doing the reading suggested books.  YOu can find it here:

Thank you for this. I thought it was My Father's World that had this unit. No wonder I couldn't find that on MFW's site to share here.
