Quote: The horse that played him in the most recent movie of that name was a Quarter Horse. Some people think the horse in the book was a Thoroughbred, but the author never said what breed he was. Considering that he was used primarily to pull carriages and carts of various weights, a Welsh Cob seems more likely.


Though, Justin Morgan, the original Morgan horse was used for logging as well as riding and racing. He could do it all. But, the Morgan was developed in the US and Black Beauty was set in England most likely.

Black beauty was described as being tall and fine, probably not a cob. He was a light carriage horse when he was owned by the rich and was fancy enough to be paired with Ginger for a rich mans carriage. He was only hooked to heavy carriages and wagons after he scarred his knees and was sold off. He was also a lady's horse, which at that time meant he was dainty and long legged for a smoother ride.

I think about these things too much

Lol me too, over thinker here... But see, that's cool info to know! I was going along the lines of Almanzo Wilders' team of Morgans from the "little house on the prarie" books... Light and fast, but sturdy enough to pull weight for a distance...



I did not remember all that from "Black Beauty" lol, its been a LONG time since I read it...maybe I had that and the "black stallion" confused...too many kids books about black horses

Oddly enough, I haven't read fury..... But the Black Stallion was most definitely an Arabian...

The pulleys was the ad. Very true, very true.

Ha-ha me too ... It's fun to imagine it but I'd probably lose all the awe of it if it were right there in front of me.

And I think Black Beauty was a Morgan
Ahhh but THAT horse is like from a fairy tale; fit for royalty for sure!

Beautiful to look at, and great for carriages, but get something else for riding unless you are great at posting.
