I started re-reading The Black Stallion series by Walter Farley in April and read five more from that series in May: Son of the Black Stallion, The Black Stallion and Satan, The Island Stallion, The Island Stallion's Fury, and The Blood Bay Colt. Only The Black Stallion and Satan was as enjoyable as when I was a kid, though I remember never really caring for the Island Stallion "spin-offs" or the two books on harness racing. Where's Alec and The Black? Bring 'em back!
Kinda sad how Satan has to be "broken" before he comes around. I have to laugh at the idea of him being glad to get a chance to race his sire - you'd think it would be like my Jack Russell Terrier getting in teh same room with his son!
I also remember getting in a fight with a girl in my 5th grade class because she insisted that I was pronouncing the horse's name wrong - she kept saying "it's Satin!" There's no way a horse would be named after the devil!!

Still love these books. Some words/phrases are way over used but totally able to overlook that. What person that loves horses doesn't think that racing looks so exciting or being such a good rider as to be able to cling to and ride a wild stallion?
Great quick reads that area fond childhood memory.

This was a good book and I learned that Alec gained his horse Satan's trust and that they both won the horse race The Hopeful.

Thoroughly enjoying re-reading these books. Brings back fond childhood memories, and I just love the simpleness and innocence of them.
Found this at a discount book store for $5 and had to buy it. I read half of it while my mom browsed. Hahaha.
I didn't much care for this book. It was too...predictable and sugary.
Another book that I read as a kid and just remembered to add. I loved it!!
I liked this book, although in some parts it was confusing... :)
This may have been the best book I read in fifth grade.
it was one of the best books i have ever read in my life
Fiction,Children's fiction
This one also was an earlier publication.
i like it alot
Awsome!!!
I love all of the Black Stallion books, and this one is no exception!
I actually read this 1947 edition of the book originally. I think I borrowed it from my grandparents...or maybe my mom had it. In any case...I love finding the edition I read because the cover pictures always hold special memories. Unfortunately, Goodreads doesn't always have the right edition. I wonder if there's a way to add one....
I loved all horse stories during my horse phase, but I held a special fondness for the wild-horse-taming genre, since I couldn't imagine being able to gentle a horse myself.
oh my gosh this is the best book IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I HAVE A LOT OF FAVS!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST LIKE IT SO MUCH!
The first book was the story of a boy and a horse, but the series grows with books on similar themes of overcoming adversity and animal/human bonding. Loved them as a kid.
When I was a kid I filled up a library card reading and re-reading this book. I read it at least 15 times and never got tired of this book, or ANY of Walter Farley's books.
The beginning felt clunkier than I remembered it, but I was soon swept into the excitement of the narrative.
to be happy that you have a new colt when its a the baby to a stallion. Exspecially if there arabians
They call their horse satan. It wasn't a very nice book to name a horse that. It's horrible.
Oh, ho! Here is the cover of the old library edition I read!! Isn't it lovely?

Son of the Black Stallion (Black Stallion No. 3) by Walter Farley (1992)
I also love Satan blacks son... I think that the Black is still better.
Fast read, and enjoyable as the series has been since I was a kid.
Satan is a nice horse, but the Black is better.

Walter Farley's love for horses began when he was a small boy living in Syracuse, New York, and continued as he grew up in New York City, where his family moved. Young Walter never owned a horse. But unlike most city children, he had little trouble gaining firsthand experience with horses-his uncle was a professional horseman, and Walter spent much of his time at the stables with him.
