In the film, a student of Mr. deLeyer's recalls some of his advice: "Throw your heart over the top, and your horse will follow." "Harry & Snowman" makes you want to do the same.

Horse lovers will not be able to contain themselves. Those who don't care much for horses will still admire the dedication this guy showed to a creature that was deemed worthless, and how the beast let it be known that it was loved.

Rated: 3/5

Loved it for so many reasons! The power of mindset, and determination by the entire family was amazing. Made me miss my two horses Roy and Petie tremendously.

Perhaps the best horse movie I have ever seen, and the best part is that it is true.

This is a lovely story about a pair of subjects who is intriguing in short doses, but loses steam over the long haul. Harry saves a horse, snowman from certain death and turns him into a showjumper. The story of how the two of them met is fascinating but quick. Harry, still alive at 86, talks about his story of teaching and finding Snowman. This is not only a story of the pair, but also a family autobiography. It's worth seeing if you enjoy animals and especially if you're a fan of horses. Final Score 7.1/10
