The Black Stallion Literacy Project; Wisconsin's Dancing Horses Theater

by Sarah Conrad
  • I have always enjoyed reading…books, magazines, now material on the Internet. But books always win out. My favorite book as a child was The Black Stallion. Imagine my delight when I found out years ago about a program to increase literacy through use of the Black Stallion books. Now others can read this wonderful book by Walter Farley. The program is still going strong 10 years later, and children in Arkansas are also learning about the magic of the horse. Teamed up with Arabian Nights, the equine-themed dinner theater, children get a wonderful experience with some exceptionally beautiful and, of course, really well-trained horses. I have seen the Arabian Nights show in Orlando, FL, both as a child and as an adult, and it’s an amazing show at any age. If you have been, you can comment below about your thoughts on it, or if you have been a part of the The Black Stallion Literacy Project, how did you like it?
  • Planning on getting away for the Memorial Day weekend? Why not check out Wisconsin and Lake Geneva. Horse enthusiasts can find a treat there with the Dancing Horses Theater.  The 1½-hour show features Andalusians, Arabians, National Show Horses, and others are the stars of the show. Check out a preview of their show on YouTube. I have seen several shows like this with Cheval being my favorite. This one reminds me a bit of Cheval and a circus act, etc., all together. If anyone goes, feel free let us know how it is.
