Title: A great story, humbly told -
Review: This is a bit of a sleeper. Published as a children's book as i understand it, the story concerns the fate of a man and the life he builds around horses--and Snowman himself, a non-descript, heavy, forgotten horse, by odd chance rescued right out of the slaughterer's trailer. This is a true story--the unlikely horse given a second chance by a man of mercy, and ending up a national and global jumping champion. The meaning here is so important, especially in our times: our gifts are sometimes well hidden, but with courage, mercy, hope - we may find the great things we were born to do. I'm not saying this well. The book is about hope and follow-through, and its virtue is in its meaning rather than its art. The heart of the story is a statement seldom made in our media, and we need it. Oh, we need it. God bless the man who rescued the horse, and recognized the great gift - and allowed this horse his life, and so, room for his joy.
