Totally ridiculous. I'm amazed at how hot and cold this series runs as I've journeyed on my re-read. The Black and Flame "team up" (no joke) to fight off a rabid vampire bat (again, no joke). Stupid book.

The very first book I bought in the series through scholastic books via school. After I got it I found out it was part of a set and the rest is history lol.

One of my mom's friends had found this book and gave it to me to read because she knew I liked horses. I think I will reread this book again sometime.

I always thought the meeting between these two stallions would be better.

There was not a Black Stallion book that I could ever put down. The stories are the best.

Didn't hold up so well, sadly. A rabid vampire bat? Rilly? *sigh* So many things wrong here, starting with the bat's behaviour. No, no, no!

All the Flame books disappointed me this go-round, and they won't be staying on the shelf any longer.

I raced through this series as a child. Of course, "The Black Stallion" was my favorite, and I read it a few times, but I waited eagerly for any of the books to return to my branch of the library so I could snap them up.

Ohh, I loved this book as an 11 year old. I even wrote an (in retrospect) extremely amatuerish fanfiction for it, back before fanfiction.net even existed... The idea of the Black and Flame squaring off in a fight tickled me...

Found my diary from 1962 with a list of books read complete with ratings. Alas, no comments. I recall spending my allowance buying every Farley book I could find. Still have many.

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.

I loved this one because it brought the two great horses together in the wild.
