Black Stallion Literacy Foundation

The mission of the Black Stallion Literacy Foundation (BSLF), working through its team of volunteers and professionals, is to help children discover the joys of reading and wonders of learning through the magic of live horses and Black Stallion books by Walter Farley. BSLF instills in young students the desire to read by connecting reading with real-life, enjoyable experiences – and promotes the message that “reading is cool.”

Description:
Conceived in 1999 by Mark Miller, creator and owner of Arabian Nights Dinner Attraction, and Tim Farley, noted writer and son of the late Walter Farley who was the author of the Black Stallion Series, the Black Stallion Literacy Foundation (BSLF) began serving children in 2000. Since then, BSLF has served over 450,000 children all over the nation.
