Black Beauty 

A jet-black young colt, Black Beauty, spends his early years in a cozy meadow growing up with a gentle master, a strong mother and an ideal upbringing. Through the years, he changes hands with different masters- some rough, some kind, some indifferent. Black Beauty’ s experiences throughout his life give him lessons on real friendship, loss, hardship and human nature. Gallop with Black Beauty as he grows into a worn yet mature and handsome, dutiful and loyal old horse.
