Welcome to Horse and Man Lite.
Yup. While recovering from surgery and vacationing with the family, I would like to bring to you VALIANT: The blind horse and his human, Jeanette Sassoon.
A reader sent this article to me and I thought it was the perfect story to share. After all, this blog is about the relationships between equines and their humans. What a great story this is – the young, blind horse who is brought to excellence through the dedication of his owner.
So, I have the article as well as a very nice trailer for the documentary on their life together.

Jeanette Sassoon and Valiant. He is blind.
FIRST, THE ARTICLE
Here it the link to the original article.
NOW, THE MOVIE TRAILER
I figured there had to be some You Tube video on the two… but instead of the dressage movie I expected, I found this trailer about their documentary! John Lyons is shown here as well as other celebrity dressage people.
I think many of the quotes in this trailer are very nice… one went something like this:
You think this is about competition (visual: dressage arena in the background), but with them, it is so much more. It is mutual respect.
I loved that.
Truly… isn’t this kind of trust and bond what we all wish for with our horses?
Lovely.
