The Black Stallion Mystery (2011)
“The wind blew in gusts and despite the climbing sun the morning continued to be icy cold. Alec went to his horse, cupping the Black’s muzzle in both hands for warmth and comfort.
Henry said, “Send him on his way. See if he doesn’t lead us to some tracks.”
Alec set the stallion’s head into the mountain wind. “Let’s go, black horse,” he said, watching the ears.
As he walked beside the Black, his confidence returned. It might take a little time, he told himself, but they’d find their way to safety.... Only when he lifted his gaze to the unreal shape of the peaks looming above did he have any doubts. He frowned as his eyes squinted into the blaze of the morning sun and suddenly he felt terribly alone beneath the vastness of the mountains and sky. His hand tightened on the Black’s leather lead shank.
The stallion turned to the north of the sun, and soon he began snorting and neighing, talking the language of the wild. A few moments later they came to a road leading from the valley.MoreLess
