Sisters Movie House to help horses find homes
Sisters Movie House is
showing the film “Harry and
Snowman” starting October
21 — and they’ll be taking
donations for an equine char-

“Harry and Snowman”
tells the heart-warming story
of Dutch immigrant Harry
deLeyer who journeyed to
the United States after World
War II and developed a trans-
formative relationship with
a broken-down Amish plow
horse he rescued off a slaugh-
ter 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, beat-
ing the nation’s blue-bloods.
They were famous for their
Heroin

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.
In the film, 86-year-old
Harry tells their Cinderella
love story firsthand, as he
continues to train on today’s
show-jumping circuit.
Sisters Movie House
will take donations for The
Snowman Rescue Fund
during the film’s run. The
Snowman Rescue Fund sup-
ports Omega Horse Rescue &
Rehabilitation Center, which
gives other slaughter-bound
horses the same chance that
Snowman had to become a
part of a loving family.
Omega has placed
over 1,200 horses since its
foundation in 1997, and res-
cues slaughter-bound horses
from the New Holland
Auction, the same auction
where Harry deLeyer rescued
Snowman in 1956. Omega
saves, rehabilitates, re-trains
and prepares horses for adop-
tion into new homes. For
