Flicka is a jet black brood mare mustang who first appeared in the book and movie my friend flicka than in flicka 2 and flicka 3
In the book "My Friend Flicka," Flicka is described as a sorrel or chestnut color. She is a purebred Arabian filly.
In the movie and book Flicka is determined to be a wild Mustang. However, the actual horse used in the movie is an Arabian.
Breed-wise:Arabian, Quarter Horse, Throughbred and Morgan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In like "Hollywood Terms", Mr.Ed, Black Beauty, Flicka, and Seabiscuit. Mr.Ed was from a show called Mr.Ed back in the day about a talking horse and it's owner (fictional) Black Beauty is a tale about a colt's adventure through life (fictional) Flicka, from the book and movie "My Friend Flicka" Seabiscuit was a famous race horse (non-fiction)
There is no mention of the breed in the books but judging from the movie (and from Massie's wealth) it might be a Thoroughbred or warmblood sport horse of some kind, and the colour of Brownie in the book is described as 'white' but in the movie the horse is fleabitten grey.
Black is the only acceptable color for Friesians. The FPS stud book requires horses to be tested for red and will not allow any horse with red genetics into the book. The color testing is an effort to rid the breed of the unwanted red or Chestnut coloring.

If you purchase a horse breed book such as horses and ponies by corinne clark, they mention the tempurament of the certain breed which could help you decide which breed is right for you. To me, most people depend on the tempurament that they can handle with for many years in a very strong bond between themselves and their horse.
She (Duchess) was a grayed-out Appaloosa mare.
In my breed book it says "Good nature and calm"
"My Friend Flicka" won the William Allen White Children's Book Award in 1942. It was also named an American Library Association Notable Book in 1942.
When a horse is registered, you have the freedom to enter in high-level breed competitions, like at national level and such. Stallions can be entered in a stud book for their breed. Their offspring can be registered only if both parents were registered and of the same breed. It makes a horse easier to sell. There are many reasons why you should register a horse, and there really aren't any bad things about it. It's good to do it anyways.
According to the book, Justin Morgan was a primary school teacher.
Hell-Bitch's breed was never really given out in the book. She was described as a 'Kiowa Mare' and that she had some Arab like features. So most likely she was some sort of tribal cross breed.
