I stepped away from my re-read of this series as I just knew the two books listed first were coming up. Even as a child I never cared for the books without Alec and the Black. These two (Sulky Colt and Island Stallion Races) were even worse than I remembered. I wonder if The Island Stallion Races is what turned me More...

As a kid I read every Walter Farley book published that I could get my hands on - Island Stallion was more fun if you just loved horses. Black Stallion books got too much into horse racing.

This was a pivotal book in my life. It guided my reading concentration straight from horse books to science fiction, by the clever combination of genres.

Why on earth would Walter Farley add aliens to this series for no reason? It just made the whole book really weird, and not in a good way.

I wish half-star ratings were available, because, yes, this story is 'ok', but more like 'eh - it's oka-ay'.

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

What a bizarre book! I suppose every author, in the midst of a lengthy and popular series, faces the temptation at some point to break out of the well-worn groove and try something really different. This book is Walter Farley succumbing to that temptation, and the results is a quirky delight. Not perfect, but I really enjoyed the ride.

Found my diary from 1962 with a list of books read complete with ratings. Alas, no comments. I remember I devoured all the Farley books but preferred the Island Stallion to the Black.

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 stormed through this series. I made a beeline for the "F" section for a month's worth of library visits, until I had read the whole series.

If anything, the Island stallion books were better than the Black Stallion ones.
