Product Description

Kids send him valentines. Grown-ups ask for his autograph. Fans of all ages bake him bran muffins. When he is sick, get-well wishes arrive by the dozen. When he performs, crowds leap to their feet and cheer. Who is this world famous character? He is Big Ben, Canada's greatest show jumper, and this is his story: from too-tall, funny-looking colt to world champion; from dramatic brushes with death to triumphant comebacks. Big Ben has a spirit that just won't quit, and that spirit has helped make him one of the most successful horses in history!
