"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.
