I read this book when I was a small child. I loved this series of books. I still own the book and the statue of the black Arabian stallion. ( )

Here is a masterpiece of adventure and the love of animals. The young hero, Alec Ramsey, is shipwrecked on an island with a beautiful stallion. Once they are rescued, back in the world, they start a partnership, with a trainer, and the story takes off as an exciting partnership between a boy and a horse. The writing is easy to read and would captivate kids of all ages.
