Reading, The Eighty Dollar Champion (courtesy of Maureen Eddy!) and am tickled. In 1956, Harry de Leyer bought a horse bound for slaughter from the New Holland auction for $80.00. According to her coggins, before I picked her out of the kill pen, Xeno came from the same New Holland auction house. The value of $80 today? Estimated to be $685. I paid $650 for Xeno. Like me, Harry describes seeing something that looked a lot like pride in the horses eye. Like Snowman, Xeno is a fabulous kid-safe lesson horse. Unfortunately, I dont think she is going to be a national champion in anything- but she has a job and she is good at it, and sometimes thats enough.
