"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.
