Lisbeth Asay tells a story of salvation and adventure from the point of view of Lipizzaner stallion, Siglavy Sagana II.

I, Siglavy will delight, touch and inspire.

Based on a true story, the stallion, Siglavy reflects on his life, the people and animals in it. Over a period of seven days he contemplates the essence of life and the central relationships in his world of beings.

A former circus horse, Siglavy comes into Margaret's life as a gift from her husband. In Siglavy's presence, events unfold to shape Margaret's life and deepen her perspective. With beauty and pure goodness, Siglavy impresses everyone in his midst, from people who have never touched a horse to world-famous horse people. He becomes a mentor of love and understanding, of learning and effort. When tragedy suddenly strikes, Margaret's will to live is lost. It is Siglavy who brings her back, step by step.

I, Siglavy is a fascinating and poetic tale of the deep and influential connection between animal and human, to be enjoyed by horse people and those who have never known an animal.
