Zippy, I do remember that scene! Actually my brother gave me that movie for Christmas a few years ago because he knows how much I love horses! And that book by Anna Sewell was my absolute favorite growing up! I still read it a few times a year and I still cry at the sad parts!!
And the Black Stallion I love too! (I love black animals, can you tell!!?) I liked National Velvet too. I barely remember it as I haven't seen it in forever but when I was younger I watched it over and over again. I didn't even pay attention to the words or the plot, just the horses!!
Zippy, do you know if those horses were Friesians, in the Black Beauty and Black Stallion movies? Or was one of them a Morgan? I can't remember...I think I'll do a search on my lunch break...

As for songs... does anyone know that song "she ran calling Wilddddfire" I liked that one!
