Black Beauty – 06 Liberty
I was quite happy in my new place, and if there was one thing that I missed it must not be thought I was discontented; all who had to do with me were good and I had a light airy stable, and the best of food. What more could I want? Why, liberty! For three years and a half of my life I had had all the liberty I could wish for; but now, week after week, month after month, and no doubt year after year, I must stand up in a stable night and day except when I am wanted, and then I must be just as steady and quiet as any old horse who has worked twenty years.

The name of the coachman was John Manly; he had a wife and one little child, and they lived in the coachman’s cottage, very near the stables.
Black Beauty – 04 Birtwick Park
At this time I used to stand in the stable and my coat was brushed every day till it shone like a rook’s wing. It was early in May, when there came a man from Squire Gordon’s, who took me away to the hall. My master said, “Goodbye, Darkie; be a good horse, and always do your best.” I could not say “goodbye”, so I put my nose into his hand; he patted me kindly, and I left my first home. As I lived some years with Squire Gordon, I may as well tell something about the place.

Pony Club Life Lesson 6: Sometimes Riders Need to Be Assertive
After my first pony, my next horse was much more high-strung and some may say a little ‘too much’ for me. He was a bit nappy and of course, each time I let him go in the direction he wanted to go, I made him worse. My first competition with him was a six-bar event. In this event, there are six jumps in a row at an equal distance with each jump higher than the previous one.
Pony Club Life Lesson 5: Keep Learning Wherever You Can
I didn’t start riding when I was young, but I loved to read and learn about horses from as early as I can remember. When we had the opportunity to be assessed for proficiency certificates, I jumped at the chance. Some of the better riders had a bit of a winge, saying that they came to ride but not to do schoolwork. But this was not schoolwork to me, this was learning more about horses which is what I did when I wasn’t riding anyway.
