Description
Leslie Humphrey (British, born 1957)
ASCENDING
Oil on panel, 24" x 12"

Depicted here is the legendary jumper Snowman. Snowman was a former plow horse headed for the slaughterhouse when he was spotted by Harry de Leyer and purchased for $80. After the horse repeatedly jumped high fences in escape attempts, de Leyer began training him as a show jumper. Two years after his purchase, Snowman was winning classes, including a leadline class and an open jumper championship in the same day. Retiring after a five year career, his story appeared in Life magazine twice and included an appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Snowman also is the subject of a book. He was inducted in the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 1992.
