All black horses will stand forever in the shadow of Black Beauty and his sad story, As a child I read the book many many times, never failing to shed copious tears as Beauty changed hands, suffered loss and pain, yet always rose again to stand tall and strong with a heart of pure gold. All these many years later I still feel the same as with my grandchildren I have watched every remake of the movie version. Black Beauty remains the standard for all black horses and always will.
