Editorial Review:
Hopeful Farm’s success has greatly increased Alec and Henry’s workload, and finally, Alec decides to seek help. When Pam Athena, a very diminutive and very pretty girl applies for the job, Alec can’t imagine that she could be of any use. But then he sees how well she works with the horses. Even the Black, usually untrusting of strangers, is surprisingly calm around her . . . and it isn’t long before Alec himself falls under her spell.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Pam Sue
Pam here is what we on the internet like to call a Mary Sue, a character, often a perfected version of the author, though in this case it is the author's daughter, who is suddenly thrust into a storyline where she does not belong and is, essentially, perfect.
While some other characters may not like her, it is inevitable that she will be pretty and kind and charming and have some sort of special, unique ability. Like, say, being able to ride a horse that refuses anyone but Alec Ramsey, ... Read More
Rating:  - Alec falls in love and remembers how it is just to ride for the fun of it
This is about Alec falling in love with a girl who applies for a job at Hopeful farm. Though those close to Alec don't think a girl should be involved in horse racing, he wants her to stay and she does. Pam (the girl) shows Alec what its like to be young though they are close in age Alec feels years older. Pam rides for the fun of riding. Alec has forgotten that since its become a business riding. Pam even works magic with Black Sand,The Black's grandson, Satan's son. In the end though Pam loves Alec ... Read More

The Black stallion series is amazing.How Walter Farley (author)makes it sound so real it's cool.The main chrachter of the book is Pam.She gets on one of the horses that aint broke yet Black sand.The setting is at a training barn calledHopefull Farm.the plot is that Henry doesn't like girls workin around animals.The conflict of the story is when Henry finds out that Pam is working at the barn.The resolution is to fire pam but Alec doesn't fire pam.
Rating:  - "The wind her fingers..."
As I mentioned in my review of THE BLACK STALLION LEGEND, I think that this book foreshadows all others in the series. THE BLACK STALLION AND THE GIRL brings the reader up to date with the time it was published in 1971. In the chapter titled "Wild Flowers and the Blues," there is mention of Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and Buddy Guy, musicians still going strong today.
The girl, Pam Athena comes like a breath of fresh air into Alec's life, bringing with her powerful emotions that Alec is not prepared for. ... Read More
