About the author
Walter Farley
169 books1,035 followersWalter 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.
"He wasn't the most successful trainer of race horses," Mr. Farley recalled, "and in a way I profited by it. He switched from runners to jumpers to show horses to trotters and pacers, then back to runners again. Consequently, I received a good background in different kinds of horse training and the people associated with each."
Walter Farley began to write his first book, THE BLACK STALLION, while he was a student at Brooklyn's Erasmus Hall High School and Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania, and
finished it while he was an undergraduate at Columbia University. It was published by Random House when he was 26. He used his first advance to go traveling and after that hardly stopped longer than it took him to write another book. He traveled and lived in Mexico, Hawaii, the South Seas, most of the South American countries, the Caribbean Islands, and Europe.
The appearance of THE BLACK STALLION in 1941 was hailed by enthusiastic boys and girls all over the country. An avalanche of mail urged Mr. Farley to write more about Alec Ramsey and the Black. But World War II intervened. Mr. Farley went into the US Army, where he spent the next five years. Most of the time he was assigned to Yank, the army weekly magazine, and he was also trained in the Fourth Armored Division.
After the war Walter Farley resumed the adventures of Alec and the Black with THE BLACK STALLION RETURNS. This was followed by SON OF THE BLACK STALLION. Then Mr. Farley tried his hand at a story about a new boy, Steve Duncan, and a new horse, Flame, in THE ISLAND STALLION. Mr. Farley's readers were just as delighted with this book as his others.
Mr. Farley went on to write many more stories about the two stallions, and about other horses as well. Children of all ages have found Farley titles to enjoy, since many of the later stories were written for Mr. Farley's own children when they were too young to read his Stallion novels. And older readers and adults have been gripped by his fictionalized biography of America's greatest Thoroughbred, Man O'War. Walter Farley's titles reached a grand total of 34. The 21 Black Stallion and Island Stallion stories are still in print and selling steadily. His readers respond with passion, writing him thousands of letters and emails every year. In May 1949, the first Black Stallion Club was founded, in Kentucky. Mr. Farley designed a membership button for it; the button was in constant demand among his readers for years. The Black Stallion books were so popular in the late 1940s and '50s that they York Times annual list of best-selling children's books. Three nationwide Black Stallion contests were held. Walter Farley's books have been published abroad in more than 20 countries, including Austria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, England, Israel, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaya, Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, and Switzerland, as well as in the United States and Canada.
All his life Walter Farley remained a keen spectator of the racing scene, and he enjoyed nothing more than hobnobbing with horse trainers and other professional horsemen. It is thanks to these people that his books are so full of authentic details of raising and training horses. When not busy working or traveling, Mr. Farley liked to ride dressage and high school Lippizaner horses. He also sailed and sometimes raced his 35-foot auxiliary sloop "Circe."
Mr. Farley and his wife Rosemary, had four children: Pam, Alice, Steve, and Tim, whom they raised on a farm in Pennsylvania and in a beach house in Florida. In addit

Don't remember this one as vividly as the first two but I do remember that despite having all 15 volumes on my shelf even back then, I never read the rest of the series. I don't think it was bad, I just never got around to doing it what with school books/reading lists and stuff. I'm gonna have to change that right after re-reading this one.

This book was just as good as the first and second. Now that Alec has no horse but remembers the promise the man who owns the black told him” he will receive the first foal of the stallion “. Alec wants a colt tho like the black and he would name him satin like the fabric in Arabia. Soon he gets the letter that says a colt will be shipped to him in the next week. Alec is so excited but what he doesn’t know is that this colt is more wild and savage than the black . Will he find a connection with satin? The son of the black stallion is an amazing book !!!!🐴🐴🐴🐴

I think each installment just gets better in this series! I am enjoying it so much and just regret that I didn't discover it about 55 years ago! 😉
Much conflict regarding how to "train" a wild horse and especially using violence, force, and control, over connecting on a much more spiritual level with the animal.

J'aime toujours l'écriture de Walter Farley; c'est fluide, ça se lit bien, et c'est forcément ce qui me permet de remonter la note. Question de principe, je ne peux pas apprécier à 100% ma lecture puisque les traitements envers les animaux dans ce livre ne sont.... vraiment pas éthiques :')

Just like the first one, out of this world.

I had low expectations for this book after revisiting The Black Stallion as an adult. (That book is still a unique story and probably one every horse lover should read, but the quality of writing leaves A LOT to be desired.)
The writing in this installment is less repetitive than the original, but only just. The first half of the story was unexpected and interesting, though the second half was both predictable and a little annoying, with lazy storytelling through cheap dialogue.
That said, I think it's a good book for a middle grade audience, especially if you have a short dialogue about the way it portrays motherhood and marriage.

This is the last book I have in this series, although the series has 19+ books in it. This is a really really old hardcover book with pages ripped, some are tapped (and the tape has yellowed, and bits torn out. I want to read it, but this copy is terribly old. I'll miss a few words here or there, but shouldn't lose too many. If this copy becomes too hard to read, I just checked and the library has a copy! :) Off I go...
I know I could just read the newer edition, but there's something about a well loved older book that appeals... as long as it's still readable. (With this edition, that's debatable... but I'll give it a go anyway.) :)
I was missing one page in the middle of the book (which I could figure out by skipping it) but it really burned me up having the last page missing! So quickly ran over to the library to read the last page! The librarian caught me reading the last page of a book and said "Shame on you!". I explained my 1947 edition was missing the last page and I'd just read the rest of the book but the one page and she laughed.
This one was good, but not quite as good as the first two. I think next in the series is The Island Stallion which is one of the few books about another horse, one equal to the black. I'll stick with the black. After discovering The Black Stallion and Satan, I'll continue with that. The Sheikh is bringing Shetan (aka the Black) back to America to race, and now Satan is racing too. Will they race together? Who would win? Ah, that's the question. :)

After reading and enjoying the first two books in the series, I was really disappointed by this one. It wasn't really the story itself, which was still good - Alec finally takes possession of the promised first foal of the Black, but the colt is wild and fights everyone who tries to befriend him. Alec and Henry still plan to race him as a two year old, but lots of things seem to conspire to get in the way, including a jealous trainer who wants the colt for himself.
No, what got to me was the feeling that Alec and Henry deserved everything they got. Taking a 5 month colt, putting it on a ship, then by van to a small farm where he's hold up in a stable with little equine contact and no turnout - then trying to back him by 'forcing' the bit in his mouth. The scene of Henry using ropes on him made my blood boil. I know this was written a while ago and, thank God, things have changed, but what a way to treat an animal. The other thing that niggled me was the front cover - I think the artist was shown a picture of an event rider, not a racehorse! But, apart from that, I was mildly entertained for a day while I read it and I won't be put off reading the next books in the set.

This book is about a boy named Alec who was on a cruse ship with his dad when it suddenly started to sink and Alec got trapped on an island for 9 or 10 days. And in that time he met a beautiful horse he named Black. Alec needed to earn Black's trust. He eventually did earn Black's trust. Alec and black finally go rescued and Alec trained Black to be a race horse. (He was a race horse breed. i forget the name though) He made record time!! When it was the big race day he won!!
The theme of the story is that Alec was on a cruse ship and it sunk. He met a horse he named Black and they formed a special bond with each other. Alec trained black to be a race horse he won his first race.
I MEANT TO RIGHT THE REVIEW ON THE BLACK STALLION!!!! I WAS TO FAR AHEAD WHEN I REALIZED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I think that Alec was trying too hard to see the black stallion in this new colt, which I found slightly annoying, because it took him longer than necessary to realize that the horse's son was nothing like his father, I still found it an enjoyable read. and it was a quick book to read as well. Most of the characters are easy to like, for example henry and Alec. Some of the problems that arose in the book didn't seem all that believable though.
January 30, 2013
Didn't much care for these, at least once I grew out of the blindly adoring HORSIE phase; too sugary a transition from fiery resistance to adoration after the scene in which Henry tries to beat the spirit out of the colt. I don't care if Alec did come to the rescue at the last moment, if I were the horse I'd still be pretty pissed off at all the humans.
September 18, 2012
This was actually the first Black Stallion book that I ever read, and I was immediately drawn into the wild, unpredictable, even dangerous colt of a famed stallion who seemed to be at war with the whole world. Beautifully written, I was drawn into the struggle of Alec's blind love for a colt who truly deserved the name Satan.

I'm enjoying re-reading my childhood favourites. However, it strikes me now what a ninny Alec's dad is. in the beginning, he keeps coyly referring to the giant, coal-black, red-eyed, son of The Black, man-killer named 'Satan' his son has in the stall as Alec's 'pony'. I mean..really, Dad. Wake up and smell the horse manure or you'll end up with a foreleg in your man groin.

I didn't think I had read this book before, but I remembered a few key pieces of the narrative, so I guess I had. I really enjoyed this book, not as much as the second, but I think maybe more or as much as the first? It's really good if you like the other Black Stallion novels.
Farley always gets my heart hammering when he's writing about a race - I feel like I'm right there with Alec and his horse - I'm always dying to skip to the end, but fighting myself to enjoy the pleasure of the read, it's worth it to hang on!
I really enjoyed the chapter featuring Alec's mother, it brought her character to greater focus, and the reader really got to see what Alec's parents were going through in their struggle to support his racing career. She's conflicted but she loves her son.
I loved the story of Satan, though I thought certain aspect dragged a bit too long. I also wish the characters generally had a bit more depth. They seem to have one defining characteristic (if any), a unique speech pattern, and that's about it. Farley's love for horses clearly shines through as he spends his most meticulous writing on them throughout his books - I love it, I just wish it was a teensy bit more balanced.
I recommend this book to fans of the The Black Stallion, horse literature, or a fun intro to chapter books for young readers. All will enjoy!

If I'm being honest, this rating is closer to three, just because even though the writing has improved substantially since the last book, it is still not the best. Too many epithets in place of a character's name, unnecessary dialogue tags, information repeated over and over. The worst thing is how Alec's dad in the first book is said to love horses, but in this book, he doesn't even like horses. It's only here to throw in some more tension, and it wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't actively go against him as an established character. That is just poor writing and an editor who either didn't notice or didn't care.
But, with all that said, I enjoyed myself so much more than I did when I was reading The Black Stallion Returns. The exposition during the first chapter is supremely well done: two characters having a very interesting and organic conversation that tells us everything we need to know to be brought up to speed. Once again, Walter Farley's greatest strength lies in writing about horse races; my heart was pounding during the final chapter. This is shaping up to be a fairly well done series, and I'm excited to see if his writing improves as he goes on.

I read all these books when I was young, and loved every word of every one! This is the first time in over 30 years I've re-read Walter Farley, and he paints a totally realistic picture of a wild cold with a temperament nothing like that of his father, The Black Stallion. To those who think there is a 'cruel' scene in it, you have no idea what horses these days have to put up with, many top eventers, dressage and showjumping top flight horses are pinned down, spurred and forced into unnatural positions every day, even the most well-tempered ones!
Anyway, this book takes pains to ensure the reader knows that Alex and his trainer, Henry, tried everything in the book with this colt, but finally made a breakthrough and he goes on to great things. Now I read it, there are two minor points, neither of which will bother youngsters when they read it. The first one is the complete unfeasibility of Alex EVER becoming a jockey in those circumstances and secondly, the story is pretty much a repeat of Farley's first book, in a slightly different setting. Again, that said, I don't think either of these will spoil the enjoyment that horse/pony-mad readers will have of this classic book!

Son of the Black Stallion (The Black Stallion, #3)
by Walter Farley
This one didn't give me the warm and fuzzies as much as the first one did and, to a lesser extent, the second. The first chapter served as a "Last time, on "The Black Stallion..." but relayed to the reader through a couple of guys "remembering" the newspaper stories and such. And the following couple of chapters did a lost of re-hashing as well.
Then there's the horse. Satan. Not as much love there as for the Black and you weren't left pulling for him at all. And Henry!! Yikes! I have to keep reminding myself, different time, man, different time. The first half of the book I was in no way thrilled with. But it finally changed it's tune and got back to what I was looking for.
Satan, the Son of the Black Stallion, is given to Alec as a few month old colt. Fire in his eyes and a killer at heart, and Alec has to win him over and break him in time for the race, the "Hopeful" for two-year old colts.
It was good, but not half as good as the first.

3.5 but I couldn't possibly drop back to a 3.
One of my absolute favorite series as an adolescent, before I ever was privileged to learn to ride but dreamt about it constantly.
Now that I've had my own horses for over 45 years, I certainly recognized a number of errors and inconsistencies, but I'm going to ignore those or maybe write them off as practices which have been changed since the books were written. I'll also admit that though I've owned two Thoroughbreds off the track (OTTB) the horse racing world is not my favorite discipline of the horse world.
I intend to go back to read the whole series now that my library is finally sort of open (still in online order with no contact pickup because of COVID-19).
FYI I'm going to be posting a similar if not very same review for many of these books with possible minor changes in rating and details specific to each book in the series. Or I may not if feeling lazy.

May 8, 2024Good Book From My Favorite Author of All Time
Mr. Farley KNEW HORSES and his stories portray them faithfully. If you love horses, this is a winner
Walter Farley books never fail! This book lives up to that standard. From start to finish, this story shows a love for the world of horses. It is a charming and fun read.
I would recommend this book for ANYONE who loves horses. I loved as a pre-teen. I loved it when my children were pre-teens. I love it again at 55 years old. It's about people living life and loving a promising colt. Just remember it is set in the early 1900's, before modern conveniences were invented.

Alec finally gets Blacks stallions first son as a gift and Satan is horrible. Alec risks his life to tame the wild horse. Satan tries to fight anything and everyone, but Alec and Henry still manage to race him as a two year old. The fact the two got the horse to America was amazing. It was really distrubing when Henry used a rope at home, which made the stallion fall to the ground and start bleeding. It was also a huge fight to get the bit in his mouth. I still loved this book, even though the plot wasn't as good as the first two Black Stallion books.

This book has a great deal more complexity than the first in the series, as well as more technical details regarding training and racing. Though I believe this book was better written, it's also very difficult to compare the two books. The Black Stallion is an adventure story, and this book shines more light on the sport of horse racing. The characters are also more fleshed out, and give a fascinating glimpse to the future of the series.
Excellent book all around. I can't wait to review the rest of the series.

Really good, and I never read the first two (this was given to me as a gift) but I feel like it explained a lot about the other two, so even though it would be helpful to have that background, it wasn't needed which I appreciate. I loved how the story flows and the accuracy of the details about horses. I work with horses and I was happy to see that the author must've at least been around them for a little, because it makes the book that much more real.

In this book, Alec receives a colt of The Black Stallions as a gift from the Arab who rightfully owned the Black. The colt is really quite wild and full of spirit. Alec must bond with the colt and train him. I cannot say enough great things about this series, and I am really tempted to buy the entire box set.

I love the Black Stallion series, but my favorite ones are the ones, well, with The Black in them. My second favorite is probably Satan. It's a new generation of amazing horses to learn to know and love.
