This book is written by Anna Sewell and she had composed this in the last years of her life. It is an autobiography of a horse named Black Beauty. This is about him as a colt on an English farm, then how cruel his days became when he spent his life pulling cabs in London; about how harshly he was being treated. He was strapped using the checkrein (a bearing rein, a strap to keep the horses’ heads high which passed through his nostrils) and then back to his happy retirement. Black Beauty could not bear the load because this was immensely painful and this damaged his shoulder back. This book is special to me because I like horses, they are one of the most lovable animals and because Anna Sewell brought forward the ways of how horses were treated cruelly, and she also explained why it was wrong to treat them like that. The checkrein and the blinders were banned through the animal welfare because of her effort.
