As to books with animals as pov characters, I would argue (or suggest) that factor doesn't have to make a book a fantasy in the common sense of the word if the animal acts like an animal rather than a furry human.

They have different pitched neighs to warn of danger or to greet each other (or acceptable humans). They also use body language a lot. Ears back means, "Look out!

But I have to admit I'm disappointed that there isn't one horse among animals across the top of the blog. The most recent survey indicates there are 13Million adults in the US that consider themselves "horse people. Certainly horses play a big role in those people's lives.
