The Ghost Horse: A True Story of Love, Death, and Redemption
In The Ghost Horse, Joe Layden tells the inspiring true tale of a one-eyed, club-footed thoroughbred racehorse and a journeyman trainer, Tim Snyder, who scraped together every penny he had to purchase the broken and unwanted filly. Snyder helped the horse overcome its deficiencies, eventually naming her in part after his deceased wife, Lisa, the great and only love of his life―a bright and sweet-tempered woman whose gentle demeanor seemed eerily reflected in the horse. The trainer (and now owner) was by nature a crusty and combative sort, the yin to his wife's yang, a racetrack lifer not easily moved by new-age mysticism or sentiment. And yet in those final days back in 2003, when Lisa Snyder lay in bed, her body ravaged by cancer, she reassured her family with a weak smile. "It's okay," she'd say. "I'll see you again. I'm coming back as a horse." Tim Snyder did not then believe in reincarnation. But he acknowledged the strangeness of this journey, the series of coincidences that brought them together, and the undeniable similarities between the horse and his late wife. And so did those who knew the couple well, and who could now only marvel at the story of the filly, Lisa's Booby Trap, and the down-on-his-luck trainer who apparently had been given a new lease on life. The Ghost Horse is a powerful horseracing story of underdogs and second chances.

"Just because a horse can run or train doesn't mean it can race."
If you want to know what it's like living on a race track, living and breathing horses, then read this. It'll tell you exactly what it's like: sleeping above a horse stall, crazy hours, lots of traveling and all of the weird problems that come with horses. The dangers of horses. Like breaking bones or having one fall on you. And that just because a horse can run fast in practice doesn't mean he can run fast in a race! Weird, huh?
I love reading horse books and this true story was a real pleasure! The pages just flew by as I was drawn into the world of horse racing. The first half of the book is actually about the two owners of the horse: Timmy Snyder and his wife Lisa. We learn all about their lives and even about their parents too. They both gree up with horses so it made sense they would want to work with horses once they grew up. And to my surprise I never found this part boring at all. It was written in such a way it was just fascinating! And the horse in question doesn't come into the book until much later.
This book is about a horse named Lisa's Booby Trap. She was a powerful three year old filly but she had a physical deformity: a club foot and also unbalanced shoulders. This made her the slowest race horse ever! But Timmy bought her, figured out the problems and a miracle happened: she could run! And run really fast!
And she ended up racing at Saratoga!
But the most amazing thing is how she saved Timmy from deep depression after his wife died. She had promised to come back as a horse and so he named the filly after her. She and the horse both had physical problems.
I learned many new horse related terms from this book. And other horse facts. Like I didn't know about horses changing leads as they run. And I learned about thrush and what a handicapper is. But one of the most surprising things is about the weight of a jockey! So yes, I was googling some stuff while reading this. I just love horses but I'm not that knowledgeable about horse racing.
But it's the story that I loved in here! How Timmy loved that horse and how the horse was the most important thing to him. She wasn't a commodity or something to sell for big amounts of money. And that her health came before running a race.
This book has heart! ❤

Fortunately, author Joe Layden avoids the sentimentality suggested by the title of this book. In telling the story of hardscrabble horse trainer Tim Snyder he also recounts the tough economic and emotional realities of horse racing. Layden is particularly adept at revealing the paradoxes that surround the sport. Horse handling is not something just anyone can learn. Most horse handlers, like Snyder and his wife Lisa, grew up around horses. Tim Snyder's father was jockey Warren Snyder; his grandfather was Earl Snyder, a race horse trainer. Even then, few people have the gift of communicating, the soft hands, the reassuring voice, the feel of when a horse still has something left to give in a race, the intuitive understanding. The gifts of nature and circumstance are honed by long hours mucking out stalls, hot walking and grooming the horses, enduring all manner of freak injuries, and through trial and error, but too often those gifts are squandered. For the vast majority, the pay is never great. Jockeys can spend their entire careers battling weight gain, starving themselves, taking drugs, inducing bulimic episodes, only to end up as alcoholics like Tim's father. The business of horse racing is precisely that. It exists to turn a profit for the owner. Usually, however, the owner is the person with the least contact with the horse. Those that know the horses intimately are small-time trainers like Tim Snyder, and the anonymous grooms and jockeys that feed, exercise and care for the animals. Horses come and go. Horses are fatally injured. It's part of the business and those involved distance themselves from emotional attachments, both to the horses and to each other.
Layden is careful to link the dysfunction of Tim Snyder's childhood with his shortcomings as an adult. The family lived a nomadic life moving from race track to race track: Rockingham, the late Suffolk Downs, Scarborough Downs in Maine. There were fights, both physical and verbal between his parents. Needless to say, money was always tight. Warren separated from his family — one day he simply left for another track, and never came back home. Tim's sister Cheryl escaped by leaving and having two out-of-wedlock children. The details of Tim Snyder's life give “dysfunctional family” new meaning and warped Tim's own ability to cope with personal relationships. When his wife Lisa was dying of cancer, he retreated into himself. After her death at age 37, he vanished for two years, drifting in an aimless depression, leaving behind his grieving in-laws who had practically acted as parents to him as well. He never even said “good-bye.” Even his lifelong friend, John Tebbit relates a history of explosive quarrels and abrupt disappearances. “ '...he's a high-maintenance person. He can be a loyal friend but he's hard to get along with; he's demanding and he can be rude.' ” (p.71) (That's the sugar-coated version, one suspects!).
Layden eloquently and sympathetically summarizes the grief that engulfed not only Tim, but his deceased wife's close-knit family. “Grief is amorphous. It flows into your life, takes as much space as it needs, as much as it damn well pleases, filling every nook and cranny of your heart and soul, and then recedes an inch at a time. It's an illness of sorts, with no cure, no protocol for treatment, no assurance of a complete recovery. So who's to say that there is a right or wrong way to cope with it? Some people get on with their lives, finding comfort and solace in the routine of work or the support of family. Others slide into bed and try to sleep away the pain.” (p.121)
The remainder of the story tells how Tim climbed out of that grief through the chance meeting with a showy looking thoroughbred whose racing career appeared to be a non-starter. Horse broker John Shaw remarks: “ '...she was slow. I practically had to time this horse with a sundial.' ” (p.92) Because of her slowness, Tim was able to buy her for $4500. It was all the money he had and then some. Although there are contradictory opinions, the events speak for themselves. Tim worked with the horse. Over time, he tried out different shoeing techniques and worked on lead changes. The project returned focus to his life. He named the horse Lisa's Booby Trap, (a humorous reference that many failed to find funny, as disclosed in the book), and for a while she was the cinderella horse, trained at bottom tier Finger Lakes, one step from oblivion, and bound for Saratoga, where Kent Desormeaux eagerly jumped at the chance to ride her, and with his Cajun bent for myth spinning, spread the romantic fable of Tim's wife and the “ghost horse”.
This is not a happy story because she was a winner. It's a happy story because it reunited Tim with his in-laws — his family. It brought him back to his calling — horses. It even changed him from the profit-oriented business man to a guy who became so attached to a horse that he spurned lucrative purchase offers with the blunt refusal: “She ain't for sale.”
Layden has researched his subject thoroughly and demonstrates a gift for integrating the unique voices of his many subjects into a cohesive narrative that captures their distinctive passions and contradictions.

I think I likely gave myself a false notion of this book and assumed it would be mostly about the horse Lisa's Booby Trap. The entire first half of the book was actually about Tim Snyder her trainer and his background. From an abusive step father and broken family, to alcoholism he had an incredibly rough upbringing. I respect how honest he was about his struggles. The parts about his wife were also interesting and she sounded like a really amazing woman. I just really was hoping to read a book about a horse, and this was not it. I felt like the author kept reiterating himself to make the book longer which just made it repetitive, and I did not particularly enjoy his style. Tim and some of the other people interviewed were very knowledgeable horsemen and once we got to that part I enjoyed it. It was marred by the author incorrectly saying Lisa's Booby Trap was 17.5 hands tall. There is no 17.5 hands as a hand is a 4" unit of measurement and the decimal does NOT represent a fraction as non horse people would normally assume, it represents the remaining inches, so 17.5 would actually by 18.1.
There felt like too much background about the racing industry and horses as well. This could just be because I assumed this book was wrote for people who already were involved in the horse industry, but it was not, and just felt dumbed down.
Overall I felt this book missed what could have been a great story by saving it for the last 50 pages, and it had a hard time keeping my attention in the 150 pages leading up to that. While it covered the difficulty of grief accurately it also glossed over how detrimental alcoholism and drug addiction is for the people around the addict, and I just wanted a horse book, not all of this.

I have never heard of Tim Snyder or Lisa's Booby Trap until now. What a wonderful story. I love a feel good story that just warms the heart and leaves me with a big smile on my face. This is what this book did for me. Mr. Snyder and Lisa's Booby Trap needed each other but did not know it until they were united. I have always had a place in my heart for horses. Although I am not as horse crazy as Mr. Snyder or his wife, Lisa was herself. She was truly born to ride horses. Even though I have never met the Snyder's I do believe that Lisa did make good on her promise to come back as a horse in her new life.
This book shows that if you have patience, the will, a big heart, and love that you can achieve anything. I mean it is incredible that Lisa's Booby Trap won her first race. She just needed someone to show her she could do it. I read this book in a matter of a few hours. This book is a keeper. Horse lovers will enjoy reading this book.

A story about a man, and the horse that brought back his zest for life after his wife's death. That is the simple summary, but there are others I can think of. A story told in emotionless tone, filled with random quotes from people who dispute the other quotes. I get the swearing in the quotes, but the random swearing in the text kind of threw me out. There was a lot of back story, but not much actual story, which was the disappointing part for me. I've never heard of this great racing horse, not being a particular fan of the sport though that's not surprising. I can think of two race horses, Makybe Diva and Pharlap, and I probably spelled one of those wrong.
Kind of disjointed, but I dug down and finished it. The end of the year reading slump continues, what will I struggle through next?

Ghost Horse is a non-fiction book showing a realistic view of the horse racing industry and what it takes to get there if you are a "little guy" with one horse in a game with the "big guys." Tim Snyder, more comfortable in the backstretch, now an owner, trainer...driven by passion, not money, makes a go of it with a horse no one wanted. This book was more enjoyable where some of the racing takes place and the names and owners of local owners, trainers, horses...were very familiar.
The "love story" was touching, but the guts and hardships to make a champion were heartfelt. An easy read and an uplifting story.

I enjoyed this book as when I was younger I wanted to be a jockey or exercise rider. Parts of the book took place at a farm I believe I may have worked at. I didn't realize how much physical strength it took to hold Thoroughbred horses back from running too fast too soon!
It is a very difficult life with very few reaching the elite races most of us watch on TV.
Tim Snyder's story portrays this well, and it is more his story than Lisa Booby Trap's story.
I would have enjoyed reading more about the actual horse after her racing days ended. But all in all it was an interesting and fun read.

This is a true story. I highly recommend it even if you are not a horse person or racing fan. This story isn't about the high end of the racing world. Rather it is about a man with little, but his desire to be in the the business. He works in the backstretch
That is being a groom. A hot walker
Mucking out stalls and anything that needs done. He ran away from home at a very young age because of an abusive father. He eventually meets a girl that becomes his wife. I will end my review here because I don't want to give anything away
This is a great book!!

A biography from the horse racing world, this is the story of underdog horse trainer Tim Synder, his wife Lisa Calley, who passed away from cancer at an early age, and a clubfooted and blind in one eye filly that Tim named Lisa's Booby Trap. The filly was remarkably like her name sake, who had promised on her deathbed to come back as a horse. Whether or not one believes in reincarnation (thankfully this book did not get too hokey and mystical) this was a great read.
April 15, 2018
I was particularly interested in this book because I am a horse owner who lives near Finger Lakes Race Track and I remember when Lisa's Booby Trap was racing. Although not great literature, the author held the reader's interest in telling the story.
April 24, 2019
I was disappointed in this book. The blurb made it sound intriguing, but it was written like an extremely long newspaper article combined with a very long lecture on the horse racing industry. Not at all moving despite the awfulness of cancer and alcoholism described. Not recommended.

An enjoyable read

A great read about a man, his life, loss and his dedication to one horse.

So there's nothing really wrong with "The Ghost Horse," aside from the expectations set up by the title and jacket copy. As a straightforward piece of longform sports journalism that examines the unglamorous parts of the horse racing industry, it's effective. As a relatively clear-eyed but affectionate character sketch of a complicated denizen of that world, it's entertaining. But if (like me!) you're really not all that interested in either of those things, and you're hoping the book lives up to the delightfully bonkers premise of "dead woman returns to her widower in the form of a race horse," you will be disappointed.
Oh well. At least I learned some things about horse breeding? 3 stars.

A true story, The Ghost Horse tells the story of Tim Snyder, a horse trainer who has had anything but an easy life, and Lisa’s Booby Trap, a young horse who probably should have never had the racing success she did. When Tim’s wife passes away after a battle with cancer he becomes a lost soul of sorts. Drifting between jobs with no fixed address, he is a broken man after losing perhaps the only good thing he’d ever had in his life. But the day he comes across the young filly who would later be named Lisa’s Booby Trap, things begin looking up for him and for the horse, who was seen by many as being broken also. What follows is quite a miraculous story, as Snyder turns a no hope horse into one of the biggest feel good stories seen in horse racing in recent times, and in doing so forms a bond with the horse that goes beyond that of horse and trainer. I would go so far as to call it a friendship.
While this book is certainly not for everybody, it is a very touching read and a well written account of the events involving Snyder and Lisa’s Booby Trap. With input from jockeys, trainers, owners, friends, and family, Layden gradually pieces together the respective stories of the two and gives us a story that goes beyond horse racing and becomes a story of hope even when a person is at the very lowest point of their life. It truly is a modern day version of Phar Lap – a story of a horse that looked anything but a champion, and the down and out trainer with little left in his life but whatever hope was vested in the horse.

I hadn't heard about this horse,which was odd because I usually always pick up on horse stories. The beginning & middle were tedious but necessary for the set up of the story.I thoroughly enjoyed the last 75 pages.
I feel the title of the book is misleading, a little too romanticized but then I suppose the author didn't want to title the book "Lisa's Booby Trap: A True Story of Love, Death and Redemption." Yeah, that probably didn't float with an editor or publisher so "Ghost Horse....." sounded catchier and obviously it got my attention.
I appreciated the author's telling of how Tim bonded with Lisa (the horse, you have to read, I'm not spoiling it!)and the lengths he went to to keep her healthy and happy in a racing world that can be downright mean and nasty to a horse with basically no good lineage to speak of...he was (is?) a true horseman in my book.
To see LBT,Tim and others watch Parts 1 & 2 of this NBC Dateline:

She is truly a gorgeous horse and I admire Tim Snyder for sticking to what he always felt was the right thing to do.

I didnt realize that this was a true story until after I bought it. But when I found out it made it even better. If you are looking for a classic house tale like Black Beauty then this may be a bit dry for you but Joe Layden has a great technique of providing fact in a stimulating way. It provided information about the behind-the-scenes of house rescuing that i would probably have remained largely ignorant of, but it is not overpoweringly dismal and depressing either. Worth a read for fact lovers and horse lovers.

I won this book from goodreads! I truly enjoyed reading about a "true story" of how powerful love is when it finds us. Such a beautiful story of a husband and wifes love for one another, as well as the love we have for the animals in our lives. We are taken on the not so beautiful events in life through Tim's unnurtured childhood to Lisa's battle with her health. Their will to fight and survive is inspirational!
July 31, 2014
An enjoyable read about a rags to riches story with refreshing honesty. The author clearly did his research, interviewing the various people who were in the Thoroughbred racehorse, Lisa's Booby Trap's life and quoting them throughout the story as appropriate. This book is a great inside look at what life is like on the backstretch for average owners, trainers, jockeys, exercise riders and grooms and what happens when a horse gets discovered and makes it to the big leagues.

I really wanted to like this book but I couldn't....even though I read the whole story. There was horses and a love story of sorts but In general I couldn't get behind the main character and his gruffness. Nothing against him as a person but I'm not sure what if anything he go tout of the situation. The poor guy had a rough life and there was no " storybook happy ending" for him. It was jut to sad for me.
I have enough sadness in my life . I don't need anymore.

I really enjoyed the book. It was a good read and very interesting. The book sucks you in and makes you want to read more. I could not really relate to how Timmy felt most of the timebut still facinated by his reactions and behaviors and how different they are to how i would react.
