The blind horse, Valiant. A perfect story about a horse and his human…

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.

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.
