Been crap at finishing books recently but finally managed it with a book a neighbour was chucking out. Apparently what i needed was a jolly-hockey-sticks pony book from 1956, entire book was like this first page and I thoroughly enjoyed it

Still horses, this time Wyoming in the Great Depression. No more jolly hockey sticks.
God knows why I only read horse books now

I read mostly books with plucky 12-year-old heroines who discover they have magic powers that are nonstandard in their world.

This also sounds like the kind of thing I'd read, once I finally get sick of horse books... any recommendations?

Diane Wynn Jones' Dalemark Quartet. Four books written over two decades. The last volume is magnificent. Pretty good all the way through, although 1 and 2 are a bit generic and 3 is very strange.

Garth Nix, Sabriel/Lirael/Abhorsen. Characters are a little older, but teenage girls are probably still the ideal readers.

I did read Sabriel at some point! Quite liked it but apparently not enough to read the others
