Here's a book with a lot of similarities to Black Beauty; it's anthropomorphic (though this main character is a dog/wolf instead of a horse), broken into parts based on major life changes, and dissects relationships between humans and animals. - Fables
Fables are short animal tales with morals. Sound familiar? After discussing what they are, send the students to find one of Aesop's fables (there's a link on this page), read one, and compare it to a chapter from Black Beauty.
