The story of a noble horse named Black Handsome, who faithfully served people, is told in the first person. On the pages of the book, the main character lives a long horse life, full of unpredictable turns and dramatic events. Having gone from a foolish foal to a wise aging animal, Black Handsome learned to distinguish between good and evil, to be loyal and patient, to value attention and sympathy. A multi-part feature film was shot based on this famous book.
