A kind man gave his last $80 to save a plow horse but they wrote history together. Harry Deleyer and Snowman, an old Amish plow horse, were united when Harry rescued Snowman from a truck heading to a meat and glue factory. The cost of Snowman’s freedom was just $80. In less than two years after their serendipitous meeting, they defied all expectations to become national show jumping champions. Their incredible journey resembled a modern-day Cinderella story, captivating the public and attracting significant media attention throughout the late 1950s and 1960s.
Few equine stories have resonated deeply with an entire nation. In the 1930s, Red Pollard and Seabiscuit achieved this, followed by Harry deLeyer and Snowman in the 1950s. In the 1970s, Ron Turcotte and Secretariat continued this tradition of captivating the nation with their extraordinary bond and achievements.
The film “HARRY & SNOWMAN” marked a significant milestone as it was the first time Harry’s extraordinary and heartfelt life story was narrated by Harry himself.
