I'm writing a horse book and I need help.?
OKay, so I have decided to write a novel about horses. I was thinking it could be about a girl and her horse that she keeps in a run-down stable near her house. I need some ideas, though. What should the problem be? The title? How should I start it?

You need to play the question game--who, why, what, where, when, how. You'll come up with the best answers that way. A story develops because an author took the time to ask questions; it's called brainstorming, and it works.
Is it a fantasy or nonfiction? That makes a difference. Why would the horse be at a rundown stable? Doesn't her dad know she has a horse? Is it a secret? How is she hiding the horse from her family? What happened to her dad? Why won't he allow her to have a horse? Maybe it's her mother? Did she have a brother or anyone in her family that was injured because of a horse? Does she have a friend that needed to hide the horse? Maybe the horse isn't even hers? Where is this all taking place? A farm? A cattle ranch in Wyoming? Does she live on a horse ranch with no horses? Why? Is her horse stolen one night? By who? Does she runaway from home to find her horse and meet someone who helps her rescue her horse. Who would that be? A boy? Is her horse a runaway? Where did she get her horse in the first place?
Does the horse talk? How is the horse unique to her? Is the horse a teenage boy trapped in a horses body? Who or what cursed the boy? Can the curse be broken? Are there fae creatures involved? Werewolves? Is her dad a werewolf? Maybe her entire family is a werewolf? Is that why her dad doesn't want a horse? Because someone in her family would end up eating her horse? Does the horse ask her to help it break the curse. Does she and the boy successfully break the curse? Does the boy end up a werewolf at the end of your story so they can be together?
I give my stories working titles and final titles. Often times, the title to your book comes from your story. You find some catchy phrase in your written words that works perfect for a title. If not that, come up with a title that fits the content of your story.
Brainstorming is a lot of fun, but it also eventually provides the meat you want to include in your story.
Good luck.
