I would have picked Man o' War...that's the one I have the most vivid memories of...the little star on his forehead!

[em_kellesvig]

I loved all of them but yes, Man o' War was special!

[melagan]

I loved and still love those books. I see some titles that are new to me and I may just have to hunt them down.

[em_kellesvig]

I had all of them at one time. I wonder where they are now?

[goddess47]

I loved the Black Stallion books! There was no way I could ever have a horse as a kid, but this came close!

[em_kellesvig]

Absolutely! This was as good as it got for a lot of kids -- and it was very good!

[adafrog]

Yes! I've read a lot of those, too.

[em_kellesvig]

Such a wonderful series! I learned a lot about horses from them and yet got no closer to owning one myself. How odd. *snicker*

[mific]

So many horsies!

[em_kellesvig]

So many! I do love a good series!

[amberleewriter]

I had all of those! I still have about 6. As friends had kids I have given them various books. Man o' War is probably my fav.

[em_kellesvig]

Yes, Man o' War! I don't know what happened to my set; lost in a move or in the great purge when my mother died. What a great series for a horse crazy kid like me. :D

I LOVED this series, except the last one.

I'm not sure I know which one you're talking about. The ones by Walter Farley were all fairly upbeat and I never read the ones by his son--never even knew they existed until I started putting together this list. Do you have the title handy?
