DESCRIPTION:
Born free in the American West, Black Beauty is rounded up and brought
to Birtwick Stables, where she meets spirited teenager Jo Green.
TRANSCRIPT:
How¡¯s she doing? She barely speaks to me. I don¡¯t need your sympathy
uncle John. That mustang¡¯s got a real mean streak. She¡¯s just angry.
She was rounded up and taken away from her family. What¡¯s her name?
I haven¡¯t given her name yet. I heard you lost your family too. You really
are beautiful. That¡¯s what I¡¯ll call you, Black Beauty. (Music) You¡¯ve gotten
closer to that filly in days than I have in weeks. They say horses pick you.
Thank you. The rescues have a time limit. You can¡¯t sell Beauty.
You¡¯re my family. You know that, right! (Music) I¡¯m gonna find me.
You promise. (Music) She saved my life you know. How can a horse save
a person. If I fought for every horse, I¡¯d ever loved I¡¯d have a hundred of
them. I don¡¯t want a hundred horses. I just want one.
