and improbable.
Like the rest of the Black Stallion series the book is highly fictionalized.
Any progeny of the "Black Stallion" would not be allowed to race "legally" either under saddle or in harness.
Terms are used loosely.
Harness racing is hard on the trainers and even harder on the horses.
While I am a fan of both flat racing and harness racing the book is better left to the young. Who I hope someday learn the way it really is.

A new twist on the series that still ties in to the racing theme. But this horse is used for harness racing at the trot instead of racing galloping.

I loved this book.

The colt comes unexpectedly and his aunt and uncle are very surprised and this makes his uncle reconsider some of the things he thought he knew. He pays more attention to Tom's methods and soon he and Tom are getting along well. Then the fair comes ... Read More

First there was The Black Stallion, then there was The Black Stallion Returns, then there was Son of the Black Stallion. Then the series went rapidly downhill. Of the entire (long) list of Black Stallion books only a few really stand out in my mind years later. This is one of them. Perhaps it's because Farley is writing with a new set of characters, and a new horse - a son of the Black raised for harness racing. Whatever the reason there is freshness to the people and plot here that was sadly lacking in most ... Read More
