This book is great - we are using it for a book club for special needs adults, as it is such an inspirational story.Personally, Snowman's story inspired me to become a marathon runner (when I had never run before in my life) at the ripe old age of 58 - this was four years ago - which is why I recommended it to the book club as a book they would want to use. I may be the last marathoner to cross the finish line, but I've crossed 16 of them now - and that is despite my diabetes, arthritis, and the fact that I have cancer that is currently in remission. Four years ago, when running a marathon was just a dream of mine, I took strength from Snowman's story. It's hard to explain why. I was so weighted down with the depression that having cancer can cause, I guess I needed something positive in my life. I loved the story of a horse who was given a second chance at life and didn't waste any of it. Snowman is the story of a horse in the fifties, who'd been used as a plow horse for an Amish farm. As the author tells us, a plow horse has an average lifespan of about 8 years; Snowman was seven when a local Dutch horse trainer, Harry, buys the horse for eighty dollars. Snowman turns out to be an excellent lesson horse at a nearby school for girls, he's gentle with his young riders, but clumsy at the even the lowest jumps. When Harry needs to sell his horses at the end of the school year, Snowman goes to a local doctor for his young son to ride. Snowman wants to go back to Harry and jumps all of the fences in-between the two farms until he gets back home. Harry had no idea that Snowman could jump a four foot fences, and after buying the horse back, sets out to teach Snowman to be a show jumper. Snowman exceeds Harry's expectations and becomes a superstar of a horse beating all of the best horses of his time.What I loved about this story is how anyone can start from nothing and build a life with meaning, even if you're a horse. Snowman had heart, and along with talent, that what it takes to be the best. It's obvious that Snowman jumped, both to get back to Harry, and then for Harry at every show he was entered in. I've heard that this story is going to be a movie, and what I can't believe is that no one has seen the potential earlier. Surely enough bad movies have been made that movie people can tell the difference by now.The book was written well, though there was a lot of repetition that got in the way of my enjoyment of the book. The class differences between Harry a Dutch immigrant, and the rich horse folk of the fifties got old. It's apparent from the start and didn't need to be repeated with every show Harry and Snowman entered. Along with this, is the use of the description of Snowman as a plow horse. Snowman didn't look like a plow horse to me, he looked like a warmblood, the combination of a draft horse and a thoroughbred, Arab, or any other 'hot' blooded horse. He was gorgeous and in fact looks a lot like my German Warmblood who has perfect conformation(in my eyes).This book is well-worth reading, and the movie will hopefully be worth watching. It was a joy to read the story of how the love of a man for his horse, and the horse for his man, gave both everything they'd ever wanted. All you need is love.
