Story Of A Hazelnut Colored Horse: Ginger

Ginger is a hazelnut colored horse, she has an attitude, she has had many owners that treated her like nothing, and that’s why she is so sour around people until James (the groom at Birtwick park). Ginger had a connection with Black Beauty and loved him. Ginger was a violent, mean horse with a wild temper, she bit and kicked many of her owners and never felt love. She was, you could say a hard nut to crack until she realized that James and Beauty only wanted to be her friend. She bit James once; he didn’t hit or whip her, he gave her a warm mash and talk to her with kind and patient words, that was the last time she bit him.
When their owners had to move to a warm place, they couldn’t take Beauty or Ginger along. The two stays together at first.
She was sold to a taxi renter and was used; not fed or hydrated, she was turned to skin and bones. In the end of her life, Black beauty (Jack) had been walking, she called to him. He didn’t recognize her at first, but then he walked over and they touch noses, Beauty tells his story, and she shares hers. Ginger was on her final limb and Beauty made her so happy, she called him “her one and only friend.” (136) Later she died and her body was carried away in a cart. Beauty was glad she died so that she wasn't suffering any longer.
Ginger was a fighter, till she realized that the people would only get stronger, so she stopped biting and kicking and gave up. In the book, from a horse's perspective, there are great, kind and compassionate owners. But sadly there’s the handful, that doesn't give a rats butt about any creature, or person, all they want is money. In the end that's the kind of owner Ginger got, she died from pulling his heavy, unfair cart, with a mean, unfair owner. Black Beauty is set in 19th-century England. 19th-century is the time when horses were used for transportation. Black beauty and Ginger, are sadly born in this time.
