Walter Farley

Remember reading the Black Stallion series of books by Walter Farley. The American author primarily of horse stories for children was born ninety years ago on June 26, 1922. His first and most famous book “The Black Stallion” was published in 1941. He wrote many sequels and the series has continued since his death. We have many of them in our children’s collection. Farley’s uncle was a professional horseman and taught him various methods of horse training and about the advantages or disadvantages of each method.
