- TriviaHarry DeLeyer kept Snowman through his retirement in 1962 until the animal was euthanized in the fall of 1974 due to complications from kidney failure at the age of 26. When they reluctantly made the decision he had to be put to sleep, Harry didn't think he bear to be there. But when Snowman refused to leave the barn with anyone else, Harry was called on to walk him out to say goodbye.

This Doc Ain't Horsin' Around
Pressing the play button, I expected to be quite bored. Horse riding itself is exhilarating, but for many, myself included, watching horse races or watching people talk about horses isn't nearly as enjoyable as doing the act itself.
I did not expect to be sucked into this story within the first five minutes -- but I was.
The story itself is magnetizing, compelling, and unexpected. The dynamic between a poor immigrant and a horse meant for death, riding together to fame, is something you'd think to see in fiction. The turns and twists in this story proved to be the perfect subject for a humbling documentary.
Besides the tale itself, the filmmakers did a fantastic job at telling it. The heart within Harry and his horse Snowman is mirrored throughout the organization, thought, and execution of the film. It's a story that lasts from Harry as a young man to an elder, and the timeline told is perfectly matched.
You don't need to love horses to love this doc -- all you need are some feelings.
