​When blindness struck in
her teens, it appeared her ​passion for riding would come to an end. How could she ​jump hurdles when
she could barely​ navigate through her
own home?

But
success, trust, and love came to Lissa when her trainer convinced her to buy a "diamond
in 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 many
months of training and work, Lissa and Milo formed a magic bond that made them
inseparable. And winners.

With
effortless humor and penetrating compassion, Lissa weaves a story of unfaltering
faith in Milo, and the unconditional love they shared.
