The extraordinary bond between Lissa Bachner, a young blind woman and Milo, a neglected, frightened horse, helped them overcome staggering odds to become one of America's most inspiring, successful riding teams in the world of show jumping. LissaBachner was born with a passion for horses and won her first blue ribbon at agefive. Other awards would follow as a young rider, and for years Lissa trainedwith jumpers, tackling more difficult leaps, and working to perfect her ride. When blindness struck inher teens, it appeared her passion for riding would come to an end. How could she jump hurdles whenshe could barely navigate through herown home? Butsuccess, trust, and love came to Lissa when her trainer convinced her to buy a "diamondin the rough" from Germany. On New Year's Eve, Milo arrived at the barn, frightened and neglected. Taking one look at his shaking, filthy body, Lissa promised Milo that he would only know kindness. In return, Milo took special care of her in the ring. Through countless eye surgeries and the manymonths of training and work, Lissa and Milo formed a magic bond that made theminseparable. And winners. Witheffortless humor and penetrating compassion, Lissa weaves a story of unfalteringfaith in Milo, and the unconditional love they shared.
