Janyck, a gentle giant, was the Christmas miracle for a group of equestrian vaulters looking for the perfect horse to help them win a national title. After winning the hearts of everyone who met him, Janyck plunged through the surface of an ice-covered lake. Dozens of rescue workers could notpull his 2,000 pound ice-covered body from the icy grip of the lake. Meanwhile, a second disaster loomed on the horizon. Having profoundly touched the lives of so many people, an entire nation prayed as only a miracle could save Janyck from the clutches of impending death.
