Night 9
The tall gray horse had already been through the wringer by the age of 8. He had been heavily used as a plow horse and discarded for bad knees. He had found himself at auction, loaded on a truck bound for the slaughter house, when a young man stepped into the trailer, met his eye, and saw a flash of potential. The horse knew that he and the man would become great friends...and so they did.
The horse now known as Snowman turned out to be one of the greatest show jumpers of all time. Harry de Leyer, at the time a somewhat insignificant rider himself, saw in the big-footed, heavy boned farm horse what no other person could see: the outline of a world-class champion (and a true sweetheart of a horse within).
During one of their famous puissance stunts, a crowd had come to see Snowman jump over another horse! A diminutive, red and white pinto was chosen as a flashy assistant for the trick. As Snowman leapt over the fence, however, the other horse reared up into the air, sending Snowman crashing to the rails and toppling head over heels to the ground. Surgery was attempted to fix the broken cannon bone, but the prognosis was too grave, and he was euthanized on the operating table.
