Media Release: A simple horse goes on a difficult journey
“When I was a young horse, I thought if I wasn’t always good, I could at least be useful. Then I broke my leg.”
When Snoopy was three years old, he won the 2007 Pacific Coast Quarter Horse Association Trail Futurity. His trainer and his owner had his career mapped out—he would be campaigned around the circuit and qualify to be invited to the AQHA World Show.
Then in 2008, Snoopy broke his left hind sesamoid, a small bone in the leg. This injury can mean anything from surgery to euthanasia. Surgery didn’t guarantee he could be ridden again, much less shown.
In the tradition of Black Beauty, this is Snoopy’s own story, told from his special point of view. He tells of his youth, his training, his injury, and his long fight to return to the show arena, to prove he’s the same horse he always was, only different.
“The perfect gift-book for horse-lovers of all ages.”
—Michele Scott, best-selling author of Silent Harmony (Into the Ring)
“It’s laugh-out-loud funny, touching, and a great way to learn about life as a horse.”
- Debbie Haas, book reviewer, California Riding Magazine

We’ve got birds nesting in our terrace, flowers blooming in our yard, and the horses are all shedding their winter coats. I started contributing to this weblog on the fourth Saturday of the month, however over time, I’ve drifted to the primary. Do not know the way it occurred, however this month, I may give you a publish on April Idiot’s, Easter, or Passover.Vendor’s selection, as they are saying.April is a big month for me. Snoopy was born on the twenty eighth, and two days after his fourth birthday, he broke his leg. Belief me, I keep in mind it nicely.Right now looks like a great time to re-go to a type of days, both his start or his damage. Since I’m the everlasting optimist, I select the happier of these two.
