In the lush meadows of his youth, a proud black horse knows only freedom and care, but his life takes a sharp turn as he's sold into the hands of strangers. With each new owner, he discovers the extremes of human nature-kindness that heals and cruelty that breaks. Alongside other horses, each with their own harrowing stories, he endures the hardships of the working world while clinging to hope. His tale is a gripping journey of survival, resilience, and the silent but powerful bond between horses and the humans who shape their destinies.

Black Beauty revolutionized the way society viewed animal welfare when it was first published in 1877. Anna Sewell's powerful narrative, told from the perspective of a horse, exposed the cruelty faced by working animals and sparked a movement for more humane treatment. The book's vivid portrayal of compassion and empathy resonated deeply with readers, influencing early animal rights legislation. More than just a children's story, Black Beauty became a crucial voice in the fight for animal welfare and continues to inspire change today.
