The point of view is third-person, with mostly Shasta as the character of interest. The story is mostly third-person limited, but it shifts to third-person omniscient on occasion. The P.O.V. changes over the course of the book. From "How Shasta Set Out On His Travels" to "Shasta Among the Tombs", the story is told from Shasta's P.O.V. The point of view changes at the chapter "Aravis In Tashbaan", and stays so until the middle of "Across the Desert," when the point of view is casually transitioned to Shasta once he comes out of hiding among the tombs. This remains thus until the end of "Across the Desert" in the last few paragraphs when the story is told from Aravis' point of view. It quickly returns to Shasta, and we do not hear from Aravis' point of view until half way through "The Hermit of the Southern March." It shifts back to Shasta in the next chapter, however, and it is told from his perspective until about a third of the way through "The Fight at Anvard". Another third of the chapter is from Aravis/Bree/Hwin accordingly, in a third person omniscient fashion. It returns to Shasta in the third part of the chapter. "How Bree Became a Wiser Horse" is told from Aravis' perspective mostly. Rabadash the Ridiculous shifts points of view often, beginning with Aravis, shifting to... er Shasta, and changing to Rabadash for a small segment of time. The end of the story is merely a statement of facts about what happened to whom. Hope this helped, though I might have gone a little overboard. It's mostly Shasta's P.O.V. though. :)

"The Horse and His Boy" is written in third-person limited point of view, following mainly the perspectives of Shasta (the boy) and Bree (the horse). This allows readers to gain insight into the thoughts and feelings of these characters while maintaining a degree of objectivity in the narration.
