The Amazing story of Alec Ramsay and his horse The Black is back. Is the long-term tale of this duo something that could happen in real life? Not really this is not something that would be your usual real life tale but that is one reason it is so fantastic and pleasant to read and so enjoyable. Never anything wrong with dreaming and fully enjoying that dream. Once again, Walter Farley brings his characters to us and you just want to take them off the page and immerse yourself in their real life. I know I am behind on my reviews but I really do love these books and as always, this one was wonderful with the rest of them.
