\"\"<\/a>
\nA few months ago we started to make some changes to the Black Stallion Literacy Project which I co-founded with our old family friend Mark Miller, owner of Arabian Nights<\/a> in Orlando Florida.
\nAfter the remarkable success of the literacy program over the last 11 years (and over a million books given away) we wanted to expand what we offer to students beyond “The Black Stallion” series. After much debate we decided the literacy program needed a new name of its very own, something about ALL horses and ALL stories, so we chose;
\nHORSE TALES LITERACY PROJECT<\/a><\/strong>
\n(www.HorseTales.org)
\nThe Black Stallion will hopefully always be a cornerstone of the program, but for us to have the resources to expand and include all grades, K-12, we need to be able to choose from the incredible wealth of equestrian literature available. From Misty to Smoky and Pegasus to Sea Biscuit there is a mountain of great books from all over the world!<\/p>\n

What we want to know is;
\nWhat classic stories have made a difference to you? What have you read that you will never forget? Your opinions matter so … what do want to read next – or what story do you think everyone else really needs to read?
\nThey have to be HORSE stories but beyond that your imagination is the limit.
\nPlease write and let us know what you think!<\/p>\n

Here’s a few of my choices;<\/p>\n
