Cowboys are Better Than Their HorsesI read this when I was a teenager, but even before that I really loved horses, so much so that I wanted to marry Roy Rogers horse Trigger when. I was 7 years old and living in Shandon, CA, a town of 500 people. We later moved to Porterville, CA, and I had Roy Rogers and Dale Evans paper dolls. My friend cut Dale Evans hair short, and I was rather upset. Other than that I remember wishing that Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were my parents. Perhaps I was just smartI know I read this as a kid & yet I couldn't remember a thing about it which is odd, although I hadn't remembered Misty of Chincoteague very well, either. Too many years, I guess. Anyway, I'm really happy that I had a chance to reread this as an audio book narrated by Frank Muller who did an excellent job.This is definitely a kids book, perfect for young teens & down. It's full of adventure & yet Alec never forgot to do his homework plus his parents were completely clueless while

This is the book which started my life-long habit of identifying with male characters, because I wanted to be Alec Ramsey. I am also truly lucky to have had an indulgent father who purchased my first pony, Nippy, at an auction sale for $50. (We left home with a truck full
Although I certainly enjoyed Walter Farley's classic tale of a boy and his horse when I read The Black Stallion as a young teenager, I most definitely never liked it quite as much as Marguerite Henry's Misty of Chincoteague series (and other horse series that were part of my childhood); furthermore, I also never did warm up to any of the sequels. And part of the reason why The Black Stallion has always been a bit of a miss for me is the fact that at least some of the scenarios described by
A very nice children's story.
How do you ever talk through a review about a book you love? This was my first time re-reading this book since the first time I came upon the book series some ten years ago. I was overwhelmed with sentiment just seeing its title in the library, and it was the first book I picked out of a pile of seventeen I eventually brought home that day, but I held it close to my chest and cradled it--because just holding it felt like I was holding one of my dreams in my arms again.I always grew up dreaming
