Horse lovers book, young boy meets fearsome stallion5
A horse lover's paradise, I first read this when I was around 10. The movie does not really do it justice, there's nothing better than an imagination to give pictures of what is happening.

Young boy and Stallion in shipwreck, both survive, the boy befriends the horse who starts of as being vicious and mean but somehow ends up allowing the boy to ride him!

High adventure, desert island, beautiful horse. I dreamed of this horse for ages.

First book in a series of around 13/14, reprinted several times, always enchants people.

A little Black Beauty esque but NOT from the horses point of view.

Quite a short story, but leaves you wanting more by the end of the book. Good job there are more in the series. Reminiscient of Elynne Mitchells Silver Brumby though that is also from the horses point of view and he is never captured.

Great book !

Young boy meets and befriends scary black stallion5
If you are a horse lover, of horses in their natural element then you will like this book.

Young boy on a cruise ship going home from Arabia to America sees a huge Black Arabian Stallion being loaded on board, fighting and screaming and kicking.

The ship crashes and sinks(as they do). Boy and horse both make it to a local island and get to know each other. Boy befriends the Stallion and learns to ride him, eventually taking him home with him when they are both rescued.

Wonderful book5
As a child reading was never something I enjoyed until, under protest, I read this book. I was hooked and had to get all the others in the series.

I still have them and the Silver Brumby books on my book shelf 30 years later. Now and agian I think of clearing them out but instead I find myself re-reading them.

I cannot recommend them enough along with the Silver Brumby books, to persuade any horse mad child to read.
