Horseland is an American animated television series produced by DIC Entertainment. It follows the events in the lives of a group of children at Horseland, an equestrian school and stables. Their adventures include riding their horses and entering them in competitions to test their skill and friendships. The show premiered on September 16, 2006, as part of CBS's new Saturday morning cartoon block, KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS, later KEWLopolis (now Cookie Jar TV). Concurrent with the series, the online virtual pet game that it was based upon was updated to complement the show by launching a new "Junior version" of the game based on the program and featuring its various characters and locations. After three seasons and 39 episodes, the show was cancelled on CBS and aired its final episode on December 6, 2008. Reruns of Horseland subsequently aired nationwide on the digital subchannel This TV; two episodes aired each weekend until September 2010. Horseland last aired as part of Cookie Jar TV on CBS. The series has 7 related books which are available to be purchased online.
This show, along with Sushi Pack and DinoSquad, were the final three series produced by DIC before their acquisition with Cookie Jar Entertainment, who produced the third and final season of Horseland until the series ended its run in 2008. Cookie Jar (along with most of the DiC library) would be acquired by DHX Media (now known as WildBrain) in 2012.
