Angel Heart Farm, a non-profit organization in Nashville that uses equine assisted therapy for children facing chronic or life threatening illness and their families in conjunction with their medical treatments, is presenting the showing of Harry and Snowman, at the Factory in Franklin.
A first showing in Tennessee, this documentary entails the relationship of Harry deLeyer, who journeyed to the United States after World War II and developed a transformative relationship with a broken down Amish plow horse he rescued off a slaughter truck bound for the glue factory.
Harry paid $80 for the horse and named him Snowman. In less than two years, Harry and Snowman went on to win the triple crown of show jumping, beating the nations blue bloods. They were famous for their day and traveled around the world together. Their chance meeting at a Pennsylvania horse auction saved them both and crafted a friendship that lasted a lifetime. Eighty-six year old Harry tells their Cinderella love story firsthand, as he continues to train on today’s show jumping circuit.
Movie goers and supporters of Angel Heart Farm have two opportunities to view Harry and Snowman on Saturday, August 13th in the Little Brick Theatre at The Factory in Franklin. At 1pm, there will be a family matinee, tickets prices are $15 for adults and $10 for children. There will also be a 7pm adult only showing with a wine and cheese reception where movie goers can meet equine artist Joan Jannaman and equine photographer Montgomery Lee.
A framed limited edition art piece will be auctioned off at the conclusion of the movie as well as a signed copy of the biography of Harry deLeyer and Snowman titled The Eighty Dollar Champion by Elizabeth Letts. To purchase your tickets, visit the Angel Farm website.
