"The Black Stallion and Satan" by Walter Farley is the thrilling sequel to the beloved classic, "The Black Stallion." In this installment, Alec Ramsay and the Black, now famous racehorse, are back for another heart-pounding adventure. When Alec and the Black are invited to a remote ranch in Arizona to help break a wild stallion, they have no idea what they are getting themselves into. The stallion, known as Satan, is as fierce and untamed as his name suggests. Alec is determined to gentle the horse, but Satan's wild spirit and powerful strength make it a dangerous task. As Alec and the Black work to tame Satan, they must also navigate the challenges of the desert and the suspicious behavior of the ranch's owner. With each passing day, the stakes get higher, and the trio must rely on their courage, determination, and trust in each other to survive.
