The Wish That Came True – Cody Dorman and His Namesake, Cody’s Wish

By Delores Kuhlwein

As horseman, we know the power of the horse to heal, nurture, and rehabilitate. If this video story does not prove it, we don’t know what does.

When the video link in this article opens, you’ll see the words, “This is the story of a very special bond between a race horse and one exceptional boy.”

It’s the story of Cody’s Wish, a racehorse named for a special young man named Cody Dorman.  Cody’s Wish is a horse that is said to have saved Cody when he was depressed – even though Cody had been to a million doctors in his young lifetime, it was the relationship with a racehorse that is his namesake that made all the difference.

The words you’ll hear from Cody at the end of this video that’s well worth your time: “I never say ‘can’t’ and Cody’s Wish – he never quits either.”

Watch this sweet story shared with us by Gordon Downey, who says he was fortunate enough to see Cody’s Wish win the Breeders Cup Mile in person.
