A horse of nineteenth century England tells his life story from his early home through many masters and experiences, both good and bad.

After Black Beauty is stolen and taken to a barn far out in the countryside, he breaks free and tries to make his way back to his owner in the city.

When the young Black Beauty is sold, he has no idea of the hardships he's about to face. Read his story in his own words as Black Beauty overcomes danger and cruelty, working at everything from pulling cabs in a smog-filled city to carriages in the country.

The adventures of a horse as he is passed through the hands of many masters prior to returning to his original young master and a happy retirement.
