I read this book when it was originally released and decided I wanted to read it again so I purchased it. Snowman was such a legend and everyone loves an underdog!
The Cinderella Horse!
Published by Candy , 4 years ago
Rescued from a slaughter truck, Snowman seemed to know Harry rescued him. The Cinderella horse proved his love and loyalty to the DeLayer family and they in return.
My kids and I enjoyed this story.
Amazing story!
Published by Stephanie Y , 5 years ago
There is no way to explain this incredible story in mere words. It’s almost unbelievable how this horse happened to be and how he was surrounded by people around him who nurtured his fame. I laughed. I cried. And I’ve read this book over and over. It’s a keeper!
