I visited Claiborne in 1980, when Secretariat was 10. He was a beautiful and kind horse, but really tore around his paddock and put on quite a show of speed. This was way before laminitis affected him. I had my picture taken with Big Red, had it blown up to poster size, and got to pet him.

I myself have been in the habit of re-watching Secretariat’s Belmont Stakes often. For many years now. It awes, elates & gives me hope. His other 2 Triple Crown races are rather enjoyable too 😃THANK YOU, BIG RED, for the joy & inspiration you continue to bring us humans 🫶❤️✨🌈

I was 18 living in Ireland in 1973. Remember hearing all about Secretariat on the radio at that time. I am not a horsey person at all but was in Kentucky a few years ago an made a point of visiting Claiborne to see his resting place. Very simple place full of big names but with a great sense of history and magic in the air. Great story and the wonderful legacy that is Secretariat

The last two pieces of music are by Hans Zimmer. They are from the soundtrack of "Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron." The one track is called "Homeland" and the other is "Run Free." Although this movie is geared for children and young adults, I believe anyone who loves horses will love the movie. I'm not sure if the horses you mention are all in the same row as Secretariat. If you contact Clairborne Horse Farm, they could tell you. Thank you for the compliment.

Thanks for the video. As much as I respect Claiborne, I'm not sure that I like their handling of the studs---those guys should NOT be 1500 lbs! You could see how overweight he was--those poor mares. And treats constantly to control them? I've got 3 stallions--2 Arabs and a TB and NONE of them bite or kick or are seriously over weight, you can pet their heads, necks--wherever. I don't give peppermints (seriously, sugar? Who thought that was a good idea? Laminitis is often caused (not always, but often) by an equine form of diabetes. Only treats my boys get are a carrot, or maybe, maybe an equine cookie (mostly made up of minerals that they need anyway) after a hard days work when they've done a good job. Anyhow, thanks again for the video, nice to see War Front and Blame.
@Nicole-qc5dh5 жыл бұрын
I've been there on a tour and these people are professionals who know how to handle stallions. Your horses are a completely different story, as I'm assuming they were not raised in the industry to race and are not breeding up to three times a day. If there is any lack of respect, it's because nobody put the time into teaching manners before the horse started racing. I'm sure you are well aware that manners aren't the main concern for a racehorse. I'm not saying it's right, but you can't come here bragging about how your stallions behave better and blaming the handlers. Your stallions likely had a better foundation on manners to start from. It's not fair to act like if these stallions aren't perfectly behaved, that it's because of the handlers. They are just doing their job, which is not to train the horse to stand quieter. I agree with you that the stallions are somewhat overweight, but it's not because they get constant treats. The only time they get treats are when the public is there for a tour. I actually think it's fantastic that they give the public access and this is the only big breeding farm that will let you touch the studs and give them a treat. The treats are not to control the stallion, they are to please the public. I've been to Claiborne multiple times and have never seen any questionable handling. Three Chimneys won't let you get anywhere near their stallions, it's nice that Claiborne does. I only wish Clairborne would exercise their stallions under saddle to keep them in shape like a few of the other breeding farms do. It's good for their body's and their minds and I don't understand why all breeding operations don't exercise the stallions that weren't retired due to injury.

I was an eventer in my younger years. We went down to the horse park every year to see the Rolex three day event. My most memorable and favorite year we went to tour Claiborne and Three Chimneys. Unfortunately, Secretariat was gone by this time. I did get to see Flatter, Seeking the Gold, Pulpit, the incredible Danzing and Mr. Prospector. At that time Monorcos was also there, I have a beautiful picture of me petting him. He was such a kind stallion with so much presence. I knelt at big red's grave and had a little conversation with him on him being the greatest in history and the mark he's left on racing and in our hearts. He didn't produce many remarkable colts, but most do not realize what a prolific brood mare sire he was. His girls produced many, many graded stakes winners. I ended my ramblings with Secretariat by telling him in all these years there hasn't been and there never will be another quite so special. 💗
