Summary:
Black Beauty first lived on a large pleasant meadow with his
mother and a few other horses. They had a very gentle master
named Squire Gordon. The coachman was a very caring man named
John Manly. As Beauty was getting older he had to learn how to
wear shoes, and many uncomfortable things on his body. Once
Beauty became accustomed to these things he was taken to a new
meadow. He lived in a roomy stall next to two horses named
Ginger, and Marylegs. One day Squire Gordon decided to take
Beauty, and Ginger on a trip to see some people. It was a long
trip, and they stopped for a night at an inn with some small
stables. Suddenly the horses where awakened by the sound of a
fire crackling from inside the barn. There was an enormous fire,
and many horses died, but Beauty, Ginger, and some other horses

The Erle, his mistress, and Mr. York went on a several month
long trip, and left the head groom in charge of the horses.
Rubin Smith was the head groom, and he was very nice, and

staying at the Hall: Lady Harriet, Lady Ann, and Mr. Blantire
One day when Mr. Blantire was brought to the train station Rubin
stopped to see some friends, and a man noticed that Beauty’s
shoe was broken, but Rubin ignored him. On the way home Beauty’s
hoof was split in half, and the pain was so great he fell down
