Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What relation was Black Beauty to Rob Roy, the horse killed in the hunt?

Answer: Brother

Their mother would not go to the part of the field where the accident happened afterwards. This is the part of the book that first has me reaching for the tissues.

2. When Black Beauty left his first home, what was the surname of the family that owned him?

Answer: Gordon

Squire Gordon and his family probably provided the best home the Beauty ever had.

3. Which of the following is not the name of a horse that shared this happy home with Black Beauty?

Answer: Lizzie

Lizzie was one of the horses he shared his next home with. Merrylegs was the children's pony, Justice was a cob used for riding or the luggage cart and Sir Oliver was an old hunter.

4. What is the name of the third home that Black Beauty has?

Answer: Earlshall Park

The other three are beautiful parks in my much maligned home county of Essex.

5. When Black Beauty is sold on from the above place, what is the reason?

Answer: His knees were ruined in a fall

He had a fall when being ridden by a drunken groom. The Earl said 'I could not have knees like these in my stables', which always seemed a bit harsh to me.

6. After another couple of homes, Beauty was bought by a man called Jeremiah Barker and taken to live in London. What was Jeremiah's profession?

Answer: Cab driver

The Barker family consisted of Jerry Barker, his wife Polly, son Harry and daughter Dolly. They were forever preaching to each other and singing little songs. Black Beauty liked them but even as a child I found them extremely irritating!

Answer: Captain

He was a Crimean War veteran.

8. Which one of Black Beauty's friends did he meet up with again while he was working in London?

I just have to think of the chapter entitled 'Poor Ginger' and I'm reaching for the tissues again!

9. In Black Beauty's final home, which one of his grooms was he reunited with?

Answer: Joe Green

Reuben Smith was the groom responsible for the accident in which Black Beauty's knees were broken. Smith broke his neck. Black Beauty lives out the rest of the days in a pleasant home, dreaming of his youth. Now where did I put my tissues?

10. What was Black Beauty's mother's name?

Answer: Duchess

Their master sometimes called her Pet, but her real name was Duchess. Black Auster was a name given to Black Beauty in one of his other homes and Skye was a terrier mentioned by Sir Oliver in chapter ten.
