From the Horse's Mouth

“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.
