El poni Azabache
Walter Farley

Cuando yo era niño tenía un poni.
Lo llamaba Azabache
Era mi amigo, mi gran amigo.

Andábamos los dos por toda la granja.
Nos divertíamos.
Fuimos a ver a los otros caballos.
Y vimos a Gran Alazán.
¡Uau! ¡Cómo corría!

Entonces, un día le dije: “Azabache, me gustaría tratar de montar a Gran Alazán”.

Me fui pues al establo.
Lo mire a Gran Alazán.
¿Podría yo montar este caballo?
¿Podría yo montar este gran caballo?

Little Black, a Pony

Walter Farley

When I was little I had a pony. I called him Little Black. He was my very, very good friend.

The two of us went all over the farm. We had fun. We went to see the other horses. We saw Big Red. My, that horse could run.

Then one day I said, “Little Black, I would like to try to ride Big Red.”

So I went to the barn. I looked at Big Red. Could I ride this horse? Could I ride this big horse?

Black Stallion in Lakeland Florida

alec & the black
It was another great 2 days of the Black Stallion Literacy Foundation in Lakeland Florida.
If you can’t come to Orlando for the show … the show will come to you!
This time we had to be outside which is a bit tougher but Alec is used to being on an island and the Black is a desert horse!
There’s more coming this summer with camps and after school programs so be sure to check out BSLP.org!

Navajo and Little Black, a Pony

Hi all,
We just returned from our eventful trip to Arizona and New Mexico wqhere we were working on a partnership with the Navajo Department of Education and the Black Stallion Literacy Foundation. The “Little Black, a Pony” Navajo translation book, is going to be distributed all across the Navajo reservation. That might not sound like a BIG deal but it is … it took a few years and lots of help to get the people in place to make it happen … in all four states (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado)!

I want to send a special THANK YOU out to our friends in Window Rock that helped SO much … Irving and all your friends are doing a Great job. Thanks again Louise, and special thank you to Mr. Ayze and all the council members.
I have included the description of the partnership if you are interested in the details … it’s a beautiful world in the southwest … visit soon and often!

A special event is scheduled for Jun 5, 2009 in Window Rock, AZ. Read more
