“Heartwarming…Captivating.” —The Hollywood Reporter
Harry & Snowman is a feature-length documentary that tells the extraordinary true story of Harry deLeyer and the unlikely horse who changed his life forever. In the late 1950s, Harry rescued Snowman—an aging Amish plow horse—from a truck bound for slaughter, paying just $80 to give him a second chance. What followed was nothing short of miraculous.
Within two years, Snowman rose from obscurity to become a national show jumping champion, carrying Harry with him into the spotlight as they captured the imagination of a nation. Their partnership—built on trust, instinct, and quiet determination—became one of the most beloved underdog stories in American sports history, often mentioned alongside legends like Seabiscuit and Secretariat.
Told for the first time in his own words, the film is guided by Harry himself, reflecting on a life shaped by resilience, gratitude, and the unbreakable bond between horse and rider. Harry & Snowman is a timeless story of second chances—for both man and horse—and the extraordinary heights they reached together.
