The Ultimate Rescue Horse

Looking for uplift? In the 1950s, Snowman was a broken-down Amish plow horse rescued off a slaughter-bound truck…before going on to win the national triple crown of show jumping with Dutch immigrant Harry deLeyer. A documentary in theatres September 30 recounts this nearly unbelievable story— as told by Harry deLeyer himself. Check movie listings for “Harry & Snowman.”
