Seconding The Enchanted Forest Chronicles all the way.
Animorphs by K.A. Applegate. About 5 kids - 2 girls and 3 boys - who end up as our last line of defense in an alien war. They're granted the ability to turn into any animal they touch. 50+ books in the series.
Mustang, Wild Spirit of the West by Marguerite Henry. I was horse crazy as a kid, and all her books are great, but this is the only one of Henry's that jumps out as having a (human) female protagonist.
Daughter of the Mountains by Lousie Rankin. About a little girl who finally gets the rare dog she's always wanted, how he's stolen, and how she chases the thieves through the Himalayas into India to get him back.
The Thoroughbred Series by Joanna Campbell. Not so much on the mystery/fantasy, but an interesting female protagonist, and apparently there are now 50+ books in this series as well.

>Momo has always wanted a Lhasa terrier--a dog like the ones the Buddhist priests hold sacred in their temples. And her dream is realized when a trader brings Pempa to her parents' tea house. But after a band of robbers steals the valuable dog and quickly escapes with him into the mountains, Momo is determined to catch them and recover her beloved Pempa. To do so, she must follow the Great Trade Route across the mountains--a path that most people avoid, and which will surely put her life at risk. Momo undertakes a dangerous journey from the mountains of Tibet to the city of Calcutta, in search of her stolen dog Pempa.
