This challenge is quite enjoyable but at the same time I just want to rip every hair off my head because I just can’t quite get the perfect loop. The background is killing me because the legs are like, perfect. mmmmmerp

Snowman (1949-1974) was a former plough horse, purchased on his way to the “meat market,” who became a champion in show jumping in the United States during the 1950s. Snowman originally was used for farm work and in 1956 was headed for the slaughterhouse at eight years of age. On that day, Harry de Leyer, a Long Island, New York riding instructor, attended a Pennsylvania horse auction looking for school horses. He arrived late, and the only remaining horses were the “rejects”, loaded into trucks bound for the dog food and glue slaughter house. De Leyer made eye contact with a large gray horse that he purchased for $80. He first used Snowman as a lesson horse for children. De Leyer recognized talent in the horse after he sold him to a neighbor and the horse jumped high fences to return “home.” De Leyer then began training Snowman as a show jumper. The horse began winning prestigious classes only two years after he was bought off the slaughter truck and his career lasted five years. He willingly jumped over other horses,[1] and his calm disposition made him a favorite: he once won a leadline class and an open jumper championship on the same day. Snowman also appeared on television shows (Johnny Carson’s for one, where Carson climbed on his back). He was the subject of two books, had his own fan club, and was flown abroad for “guest appearances.” De Leyer kept Snowman through his retirement until his humane euthanasia due to complications from kidney failure at the age of twenty-six. Inducted into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 1992, Snowman has been made into a Breyer horse model, which apparently is no longer manufactured.

I found this on facebook. A woman in my area lost her battle against cancer about a month ago. Her last wish was to see her horse Sharron. The Keetch Hospice (where she was at) allowed and arranged for her horse to come visit one last time…
