The New Adventures of Black Beauty

Jenny Denning, the original heroine from the first series who rode Black Beauty, has moved on and is now married to Nigel. They sailed off to New Zealand together after getting hitched...

Jenny Denning, having grown up alongside the legendary stallion Black Beauty during the first series, has now married Nigel and embarked on a journey with his ship bound for New Zealand to prepare for their arrival. However, he never reaches New Zealand, leaving Jenny devastated as she misses her beloved husband and horse, Black Beauty. Jenny, the kind-hearted young vet who detests inactivity, takes matters into her own hands by traveling to New Zealand alongside Vicky. Their journey is filled with challenges as they struggle to say goodbye to their father, Dr. Gordon, and their cherished Black Beauty. Determined to overcome all odds, Jenny embarks on a mission to find Nigel. Weeks later, when she and Vicky arrive at the farm in New Zealand's south, they are shocked to discover that it is deserted and uninhabited. The manager who was supposed to oversee cattle and fields has vanished without a trace. Undeterred by their misfortune, Jenny and Vicky dig deep and find unexpected assistance from a young German boy named Manfred, who had secretly moved into the stables under the mistaken belief they were abandoned. Manfred, despite his fear of horses, proves himself to be an ingenious inventor, creating flying machines as part of his work. As days pass, Jenny and Vicky settle down on the farm, encountering a beautiful black stallion that instantly captures their hearts. The horse, reminiscent of Black Beauty from England, allows only Vicky to ride it. This experience brings back vivid memories for Jenny, who names him "Black Beauty." Their journey through New Zealand is filled with unexpected twists and turns as they navigate life's challenges together.
