“I’m from Brasil…”
“…I’m crazy about horses. Specially arabians. When I was a little girl I watched “The Black Stallion” and Black was a love at first sight. The horse of my dreams, and he still is. I would like to give thanks for this great sight about BLACK. And I would like to be a member of this Fan Club. Please, everything about the Black Stallion catch my attention, so I would love to receive every single thing about it. Thanks!”
“I think this website is the best!…”
“…It has so much information on behind the scenes in the movies! Though it was mentioned that two other horses were used for the fighting and racing scenes, other than Cass Ole and Fae-Jur. I was wondering if it is at all possible to find out the names of those two horses, at least the one who raced. I have been trying to find out for ever, but haven’t had much luck. You see, the horse who played the racing scenes is suppossedly my Arab gelding’s sire. Ace, my horse, acts so much like “the Black” that it could be true. Anyhow, if you know of any possible ways of finding this information out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
“The black stallion rulz!!!”

“This is awesome!!…”
“…I am an avid horsewoman and I grew up reading all the books on the Black!!! I have seen both movies as well! I have all the books!!! Thanks for this site! The Black deserves some serious recognition for a change! P.s. My favorite bok would have to be The Black and Satan. Hey don’t forget to mention the Island Stallion too!”
