==Background==

===Physical appearance===
Jo Green is a beautiful teenage girl with long, dark brown hair, fair skin, red lips, and brown eyes. She wears green short-sleeved shirt, long blue pants, and black shoes.
==Role in the film==
Jo makes her first appearance when John is informed that his sister and her husband have died in a car accident; leaving him to take in his niece, Jo Green. Jo wants nothing to do with John, especially since he rarely visited them, but becomes entranced with the mustang who continues to act difficult. However, the mustang recognizes Jo's pain as similar to her own and ends up connecting with her. Jo learns to tame the mustang and names her Black Beauty, or Beauty for short. John manages to get through to Jo by having her work in the stables and tend to Beauty on a regular basis. They popularize the phrase "partnering" a horse as opposed to "breaking" a horse. John informs Jo that they will eventually have to sell Beauty, but Jo refuses. 
Seeing Jo couldn't ride since their first meeting, Beauty decided to let her ride on her. Suddenly, Jo begins to ride Beauty, much to John's surprise. In the slow-motion, Jo can feel the wind in her mane (which is her hair), it would help her to heal. Jo smiles as she rode for the first time until she fall off and landed on haystack. John comes to her aid, but Jo laughed and says it's fun. With that, John trained Jo to ride Beauty. Afterwards, Jo rides to the beach with Beauty, where she spread out her arms and she and Beauty were one. 
One night, a fire breaks out due to a distracted stable handler leaving a heater on and the horses have to be evacuated. With Birtwick losing money, Jo is concerned over Beauty having to be sold, but works out a deal with John's boss, Henry Gordon, so that she can work extra to earn the money to buy Beauty, though he states that they might lease her. The upper class Winthorp Family arrive to purchase horses for their estate with the daughter Georgina immediately choosing Beauty to be leased. John manages to convince them to have Jo come along as her tenant. At the Earlshall estate, Beauty learns that her friend Ginger was purchased for the Winthorps' son, George, who unlike Georgina, is kind and takes an interest in Jo.
Georgina is cruel and rude to Beauty who resists the urge to harm her as it would get her and Jo in trouble. Jo discovers that Beauty has serious injuries and George tries to have Jo be closer with her, but his mother puts an end to it. One day, a race is held at a social gathering where Georgina's poor horse-riding results in Beauty injuring one of her legs, much to Jo's worry. George stands up to his mother and the Winthorps choose to return Beauty. However, John arrives to inform Jo that Birtwick is closing down and all the horses have to be sold. Beauty is suddenly taken away without Jo getting a chance to say goodbye to her, which she becomes determined to find and buy her again.
Jo finds Beauty and reunites with her. She then reveals that she has managed to rebuild Birtwick in full and now works with her uncle and George (who's now her husband) to help rehabilitate horses full time. Beauty happily continues to ride with Jo for the rest of her life.

*In the original novel, it was a boy named Joseph "Joe" Green who takes James' place at Birtwick.
