A boy and his horse.
In something of a change of pace, a horse book that may just be slightly more directed at boys than girls, although the plot stays fairly similar.
Boy helps out horse in island shipwreck situation. Horse returns the favour. Horse of course is an impressive specimen and can do the fast running thing quite nicely.
So, off to the races then go.
Rating:  - The Life Saving Horse

Rating: - Classic Book & the movie was a masterpiece
This book is a must-read for any child. When I was young I read lots of Jack London books and I also read the entire Walter Farley Black Stallion series. Walter Farley's books are written in a very simple style, easy for young readers to understand. The movie is a timeless classic & was so well done.

I now own a black Arabian ... Read More
Rating: - A Book That Has Been Special To Generations Of Children
Strange in a way that I loved this book so much when I read it in fourth grade, because, ironically, in real life, horses kind of scare me. I think Walter Farley's book is magical and I hope others who read it find as much meaning as I did in the story of a boy named Alec Ramsey, who survives a shipwreck and befriends a magnificent black Arabian stallion. Yes, this enduring classic is basically a fantasy, but sometimes it takes fantasy to create a book that is capable of touching the human soul in the exact ... Read More
