Harry & Snowman (BD)

Dutch immigrant Harry deLeyer journeyed to the United States after World War II and developed a transformative relationship with a broken down Amish plow horse he rescued off a slaughter truck bound for the glue factory. Harry 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, beating the nation's top pedigree horses and wealthiest socialites. They became famous and traveled around the world together. Their chance meeting at a Pennsylvania horse auction saved them both and crafted a friendship that lasted a lifetime. Eighty-six year old Harry tells their Cinderella love story firsthand, as he continues to train on today's show jumping circuit. This Blu-ray features surround sound, the official "Harry and Snowman" trailer and extras including interview with Olympian George Morris, interview with the legendary horseman Rodney Jenkins, interview with Harry deLeyer, exclusive interview with director Ron Davis and Harriet deLeyer, and "The Story of Olympic Jumper Sinjon" along with English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired.
