Snowman: The True Story of a Champion

A twist of fate brings a man and horse together in this remarkable true story now available in a new version adapted by the author of the Marguerite Henryâ‚¬s Ponies of Chincoteague series.

Snowman, an Amish plow horse, was bound for the meat market when Harry deLeyer, a Long Island riding instructor, spotted him at auction. After making eye contact with the gentle giant deLeyer decided to purchase him for $80.

At first, Snowman was just a horse that children rode during lessons, but when deLeyer sold him to a neighbor, the horse had other ideas. He would jump the high fences so he could return â‚¬Å“home.â‚¬Â Harry then began training Snowman as a show jumper. Less than two years out of the plow fields, Snowman won the 1958 horse show jumping Triple Crownâ‚¬"the American Horse Shows Association Horse of the Year, Professional Horsemanâ‚¬s Association Champion, and Champion of Madison Square Gardenâ‚¬s Diamond Jubilee.

Snowman was inducted into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 1992.
