 A worthy addition to this series January 14, 2007
It must be tough to maintain the integrity of a series as the volumes add up, but Walter Farley continues to do so. The Black Stallion's Courage is true to the characters and has an intriguing plot. Set in the aftermath of a horrible farm accident, the Black Stallion and Alec are again put to the test. An inspirational story for all ages.
The Blacks Courage December 24, 2005
Once again Walter Farley tells any excellent story. When a fire burns down one of Hopefully farms barns it's going to take a lot of money to rebuild it. Though the Black's daughter Black Minx "Baby" is running in the 2nd and 3rd legs of the triple crown. Alec still wants to bring the Black out of retirement; we see several races in this book one which gives the perspective of people watching the race, which was nice. In the end the Black must race against Eclipse "Pops" the top 3 year old, and a 5 year old horse named Casey, who is compared to Man O' War
The Black Stallion's Courage - Fine quality book July 1, 2005
This is a good book with a satisfying plot, definately one of my favorites in the Black Stallion series. Alot of action and alot of the Black :]. There are alot of racing scenes, and the one between the Black, Casey and Eclipse almost reminded me of how the Black raced Cyclone and Sun Raider in the original. This one in my opinion, is the only book in the series that is like the original in some ways. Overall, this book is recommended!

I read all the Black Stallion books as a child, but this one has long remained my favorite. It does not have the "high adventure" that frequents many of Mr. Farley's other books - that said, I think the last chapter of this book is possibly the most exciting of the series - but it offers one of the most articulated and lasting pictures of life at the racetrack I have ever come across for either adults or children (the depiction of the "old man" handicapper is especially brilliant).
I think this book is the highlight of the series - joyful and full of all the best excitement the racetrack has to offer. I'm so glad to see it's coming back into print.

This was a great book that I could read over and over. The Black is pulled out of retirement to race again so that there will be enough money to rebuild the barn. The Black must race against Eclipse, the winner of The Preakness and the Belmont and definetly the horse to beat and a chesnut horse who's name I forget. I read this book again last summer and I can still replay the race vividly in my mind. This book might notc be my favorite in the series but it is truly riding high!
