What breed of horse was Black Beauty?
Black Beauty's sire was a Thoroughbred and his dam was a mare that likely was a heavy-boned part-Thoroughbred. For Black Beauty to be physically suitable as a lady's hunter, a cab horse, or a carriage horse (Beauty spent time doing all these things), he'd have had to be built like a modern-day “warmblood” sport-horse.
