Black Beauty is the finest horse imaginable. As a young colt, he lives an idyllic life under the guidance of his mother, Duchess, who teaches him to always be patient and do his best.

Yet against all odds, Beauty's hope remains unbreakable - for he is a horse of extraordinary courage and is determined to survive.
