Secretariat

I think Secretariat was and still is the greatest racehorse in the history of America http://t.co/3GnqlnEKyc

Secretariat is one of the best racehorses of all time. In this documentary you learn about all the struggles that the trainers and horse went through. Secretariat did not just win the Triple Crown he won the people. He was also awarded the world’s best horse at the age of 2. What an accomplishment. The rider says that he didn’t have too much. Secretariat knew what he was doing. I believe Secretariat was the people’s horse because even as a little kid I dreamed of riding a horse of that nature. After going to the Kentucky Derby my self I finally realized the speed at which he was running to beat other horses with 31 lengths was unbelievable. One of the greatest quotes in the documentary is when the owner says to his dad. “You have always wanted perfection well at the end of the Belmont, you saw it.” Secretariat was designed for racing he was an athlete. Secretariat is a story of a great American team not of a rider or a horse. This leads to me to final point. When you ride your horse, you’re a team; you need to trust your horse. Allow them to show you what they can do instead of making the horse do pointless things over and over again. Watch the documentary it is truly amazing.
