The Eighty-Dollar Champion: Snowman, the Horse that Inspired a Nation
by Elizabeth Letts
Sorry to admit that I quit on this, about three-quarters through. But I read the ending. It's a good book and well-written, but after that first or second competition, it was the same thing over and over. Snowman is up against horses from farther and farther away; the owners and jockeys are better funded and the horses all look better on the way to the field. Snowman wins.
And that's a great thing. There just didn't seem to be any enjoyment in reading the same thing again and again. If you're really into horses and jumping, you'll rejoice over every single page.
