His rags-to-riches story began in 1956, when Harry de layer, a long Island riding instructor, went shopping for potential school horses in Pennsylvania. Arriving too late for the auction, he spotted "rejects" Being loaded onto a van bound for the slaughterhouse. Though bony, beat up and filthy, one plow horse showed enough spark to catch his eye. De layer made an offer, and for $80, the 7-year-old Gelding was his. Model measures 11.75"L x 8.75"H
