A beautiful, true story about Snowman, an older plow horse who was saved by Harry, a Durch immigrant. Harry was an expert horseman who was the riding instructor at an exclusive girls school on Long Island, in the late 1950's. He bought Snowman to use for training, and what happens next is unbelievable! I loved this book! It is about the love and trust between a man and his horse! They were the underdogs in the national horse jumping competition, but went on to win, two,years in a row. I fell in love with Snowman!! It is a wonderful, true story!
