[Music] Black Beauty this is my story it begins in a time when I knew nothing but freedom and a little bit of Mischief are you tired oh who am I kidding you never get tired nope I've got energy for days ready to lose again can you guess which one I am and the champion is me as usual that's me the Eternal showoff luckily someone always kept my Hooves on the ground honey maybe time for a Victory lap that someone was my mother Duchess Mama did you see that I was flying I saw you soaring my star but remember true Champions know how to soar and be humble humble that's like quiet winning right exactly and always work hard play fair and keep those kicks for the race not for play her wisdom was the wind beneath my wings or well Hooves and those words I Carri them with me like a secret treasure all right Mr champion thank for fast next race we use blindfolds blindfolds that's just another word for nap time for me I miss those Carefree days of my ctth hood we lived in a vast Meadow owned by farmer gray he treated us with such love and gentleness a true home where every Sunrise promised new games and every sunset brought stories under the Stars one day he came up to me here boy today is the day we start with your lessons I quickly discovered that lessons meant getting familiar with the bit and Bridal a saddle and other such things and let me tell you it was so uncomfortable come on boy just let's try that again shall we the bit was horrible hard and cold in my mouth here boy here have some oats good boy I trusted him and soon I got used to the bit and bridle the treats were a nice bonus next came the saddle I'd seen my mother carry humans before Strangely I felt proud carrying my master look at you a real Pro shoes were next on the agenda what are these Mama tap shoes no darling they're to protect your Hooves on the road not for dancing just when I was getting used to my new gear John Manley showed up you mentioned a good horse Mr Gordon needs one Mr Gordon was John's boss who lived in a mansion not far away where is oh there I was groomed and gleaming Jon's jaw nearly hit the [Music] floor is that the one yep he's not just a pretty face well-mannered too I'll take him then it hit me I was leaving everything familiar behind mama do I really have to go it's a fine home sweetheart and remember Mr Gordon's Stables have unlimited hay but I'll miss you remember my advice work well and hard I will always love you I left the only home I'd known and loved John led me to Berwick Park my new home right this way here's your new star all hello oh hi there it was a sprightly Little Pony whose silky Mane cascaded over his gleaming white coat I'm Mary legs what's your name I don't actually know yet don't worry they'll soon give you one hm hopefully something better than they gave him my old stall an iate Chestnut May chimed in in ginger you wouldn't have lost your stall if you didn't snap at everyone keep it up and I'll start snapping at [Music] you why is she so Snappy oh poor Ginger had a rough start never really felt a gentle hand I was suddenly aware not all humans showed kindness later that day Mr Gordon my new master dropped by he's beautiful we're still brain storming a name sir how about Black Beauty quite fitting and just like that I was named Black Beauty I loved the ring to it soon I was teamed up with ginger for Carriage pulling I was jittery what if she was bad tempered turns out she was tough but fair we make a good team don't [Music] we hm I suppose for a newbie Mary legs became an instant friend Ginger took a little longer but we eventually found our Rhythm on the road together though we worked hard we enjoyed a well-deserved day off each week woohoo Ginger and I would race each other laughing and letting [Music] loose I can't believe you're the same ill tempered M from when I first arrived well it turns out kindness is quite contagious around here were all humans really so mean before in my past humans used me for their schemes but not one of my previous Masters ever showed the warmth I found here her stories tugged at my heartstrings poor Ginger but you're happier now right yes I've never felt so cherished we grew to be quite the trio enjoying our days at Berwick Park everyone was kind to us there John Mr Gordon even the young Joe Green um oh Charming kid but as graceful as a newborn fold but our joy was short-lived Mr Gordon's wife fell Gravely ill and they had to move it breaks my heart but I have to sell my beautiful horses soon the house was shuttered and we all stood ready to part ways my wonderful Duo I'll miss you at least you two will be together we'll meet again Mary legs and we'll never forget you Ginger and I soon arrived at the Grand estate of our new owner lady W she quickly fitted us with something called bearing rains oh no not these again they're like corsets but for your neck these rains for forced our necks into a painful elegant Arch as if we were trying to look snobby on purpose H I've rather not come on ginger maybe it's just for a fancy photo higher it hurts seriously it hurts higher that was the last draw Ginger rebell kicking up a real thought how troublesome we'll find another use for her gingo that was the end of us working together the work was relentless and there were no days off like with Mr Gordon oh your shoes L ah you'll manage yeah John would have never let me try a step with a loose shoe Faster come on yeah yes SL yeah I limped back sore and disheartened and there was Ginger looking as if she'd lost a battle with a paint mixer hey beauty what in the world did they do to you lady W's harsh treatment had taken its toll it was heartbreaking to see her like this tomorrow I'm off to yet another owner no I can't the thought of being a part it's just another chapter my friend I'll miss you terribly that night we cherished our final moments together as best we could by Dawn my dear friend was gone I often found myself daydreaming about the kind Souls from my past John with his ever-patient guidance Little Joe Green whose pranks could fill a book and my dear Mother Duchess whose loving advice still rang in my ears remember my advice work well and hard I will always love you oh he was so Noble when he arrived now just look at him time to sell him off and so I left lady W's harsh service and found a new home with Jeremy a cab driver it isn't much but it's got all the food groups if hey was a food group life pulling cabs wasn't wasn't easy the hours were long but Jeremy's kindness was a small comfort in the hard World H ginger in the thick City smoke I spotted a form too familiar a frail Chestnut mare Ginger is that really you why why have we stopped sorry about that come on boy as the seasons turned Jeremy and I faced the bitter winter [Music] together the Cold's taken its toll I can't keep going I'm sorry boy but you must find another path with a heavy heart I was sold once more this time to a demanding horse renter his demands were Steep and we horses worked Dawn till Dusk without proper rest or nourishment H move faster though worn and weary I did not join the others in Rebellion my mother's wisdom echoed through the hardship to endure to strive and to remember in those dark days memories of her JN and ginger were the lanterns in the night guiding me through Ginger I wish I could see you just once more Beauty my dear Beauty Ginger is it really you you look weary so thin I've missed you so much I am beyond this world now my friend life was too harsh too unkind and it pains me to see you suffer so oh Ginger but hold on to hope my dear Beauty brighter days lie ahead farewell for now Ginger oh goodbye my sweet Ginger I pray you're at peace and free at last the grueling days dragged on as The Coachman pushed us relentlessly into the night it was the hardest time of my life come on you old nag move move my Hooves achd my knees buckled I could barely stand let alone move viewed with nothing but disdain the humans decided I was no longer useful they sent me off to a horse Fair a place of Uncertain fate there I stood at the horse Fair wondering who would want an old withered horse like me memories of Ginger mother and JN filled my thoughts clinging to the hope and Ginger's words even if they were just a dream Ginger mother John beauty is that you that name my name I hadn't heard it spoken with such fondness in years then a warm hand gently stroked my face a white hoof and a white star it is you remember me Joe Green the weary I recognized his scent a familiar comfort from my past Joe Green once the clumsy little boy at Berwick park now stood before me all grown up oh what have they done to you I'm taking you home with me Beauty and so joob brought me into his home I was wellfed cherished and at long last truly happy throughout my journey I've witnessed both the cruelty and the kindness of humanity like you we horses feel pain and yearn for compassion passion let us lead with kindness together we can forge a world where every creature big and small finds peace and harmony [Music]
