Harry & Snowman

Harry & Snowman is the heartwarming true story about a broken down plow horse bound for the slaughterhouse who became a triple crown champion in show jumping.
Harry deLeyer paid eighty dollars for the horse and named him Snowman. In less than two years, Harry and Snowman went on to win the Triple Crown of show jumping and champion of Madison Square Garden's Diamond Jubilee. Their chance meeting at a horse auction created a friendship that lasted a lifetime.

"Snowman has a very special place in my heart. I grew up down street from him!" ~Carol Freud Spiegel, Palace Managing Director
