There have been numerous films entitled Black Beauty based on Anna Sewell's 1877 novel...... the earliest may have been 1933. An older version I saw as a child had a Welsh pony as a friend of Black Beauty...

Question Author

I was referring to the most recent film (1994 I think!)

Vasquoy

The pony in the book and in the film were Welshies (sec B, I would think)

I don't know which team did the horses for Black Beauty but the main horse that played Beauty was called Justin (don't know why I remember that!)

Might be worth looking at The devil's Horseman - they did the horses for Troy, Braveheart etc...
