The Black Stallion - Flying Without WingsRead the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only". « Previous 1 2 Next » » Tina_Coruth - Re: It has been years In response to It has been years posted by jerrib:It's been many long years since I read the Black Stallion, too. As a girl, I dreamed of having a horse. This is a wonderful review, Joy. I didn't know that the Arabians' had different anatomy as far as having fewer ribs, lumbar bones and vertebrae compared to other horses. I was also very interested to read that they are considered to be the oldest pure breed. Very interesting and informative review! -- posted by Tina_Coruth

Hi Dan, it's nice to have you stop by Extraordinary Animals. I'm glad that I was able to help you recall some fond memories. -- posted by Joy Butler

It's been many years for me too but I read every book in the series. I too thought it was interesting that they used so many horses in the latest movie. I don't know why they felt they needed so many stand bys. -- posted by Joy Butler

Looks like everyone posting here has read the Black Stallion books, Tina. I suppose that speaks for how good they were. I'm glad you found the article interesting. -- posted by Joy Butler » Tina_Coruth - Re: Re: Re: It has been years In response to Re: Re: It has been years posted by JButler:Yes, Joy. I think your article brought back a lot of happy memories for us. I know a lot more people read the articles than post. I'm sure your article will inspire those who haven't read the Black Stallion books to do so. More happy memories in the making! -- posted by Tina_Coruth » _Boanerges_ - Re: Re: Re: It has been years In response to Re: Re: It has been years posted by JButler:Looks like everyone posting here has read the Black Stallion books Almost! I have never read those books. But, I think (if I remember) I have seen a movie or two! I was one of those little girls who experienced the unforgettable magic of the magnificent Arabian stallion. Thanks to this excellent article, I will read the books! Thanks Joy, for inspiring an ole soul to go back and be a kid again Jeremiah 4:13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles -- posted by _Boanerges_

I believe several generations have grown up on Walter Farley's books. I remember these as good wholesome books that parents could be proud to get for their children. -- posted by Joy Butler

It's been so long since I read them...I don't know if the magic would be the same for me, reading them as an adult (as we discussed in your Writers' Suite topic). But with your go back and be a kid again outlook on life, Wendell, you'll never be an ole soul. -- posted by Joy Butler » plox - Re: extraordinary animals, movie horses In response to Re: Re: Re: Re: It has been years posted by JButler:Changing the subject somewhat, but seems like a good place to ask. -- posted by plox

I haven't seen this movie so I'm not familiar with the scene but, for many years, most movies using animals are monitored for animal safety by the American Humane Association. Since this movie was made in 1982, I would guess that much of the event you speak of was faked, perhaps trick photography. Here's a link with a little more info. -- posted by Joy Butler « Previous 1 2 Next » Please follow the guidelines set forth in the Suite101 Posting Etiquette when adding to the discussion. |
