An untamed stallion, a young boy - an ill-fated ship's voyage - Walter Farley's Black Stallion model with The Black Stallion DVD.
Ship wrecked on a deserted island, Alec Ramsey and the horse he calls 'the Black' help each other to survive, gradually earning each other's trust and devotion. First published in 1941, Walter Farley's best selling novel The Black Stallion has become a child hood classic. Alec and the Black's desperate situation brings them together, and eventually they form a bond stronger than the stallion's instincts. When rescued the Black travels back to New York with Alec, where a wise old horse trainer, Henry Daily, helps Alec to train him.
When a colourful reporter gets the two greatest Through-breds of the time into a match race together to determine the best of the best, Alec knows that the Black can beat both of them. The Black and Alec get their chance and the three horses race for the title of fastest in America. Their bonds of trust and love carry them through their first adventures together and through book after book afterwards.
This beloved story will hold the rapt attention of horse fans old and new. Let your imagination race with the Black too.
