When Beauty, or Blackie, his first name, timed three, farmer Grey sent him to spend a year with other colts. When Blackie timed four, farmer Grey started to train him to have a saddle and bridle. When Blackies training was done, farmer Grey sold him to Mr Douglas Gordon, a squire at the English country, but another man, John Manley, got Blackie to Birtwick Park, the domain squire Gordon was owner to. It is here he gets his name Black Beauty and his journey begins. This was written when he saw his first box: "It was no ordinary stall. It had three walls and a door, a box." When Black Beauty made himself well-settled, he maked friend with a white pony, named Merrylegs, a chestnut mare named Ginger, Sir Oliver and Justice. After living there three years at Birtwick Park, he hears that squire Gordons wife Mrs Gordon is sick and must move to a warmer country.

Earlshall

Black Beauty and Ginger got sold to a big place. Anna Sewell wrote this when they came to Earlshall: "This was a grand place we´d come to. Three or four times a size of Birtwick. But not at all enjoyable. If a horse would made his oponion." A day later Mr York, Lord Wis cabbie, came to get them to the carriage, he sat a bearing rein on them, because Lady Wis wanted her horses to carry their heads high. Ginger had experience of bearing reins and hated them like plague. So when they reined them too tight, it choked Ginger, and she made chaos.
