Secretariat.com

I am new to the fan club and I dont normally join fan clubs but felt I just had to join this one. Secretariat was the best and will always be the best in my mind. Its amazing how he touched me and how I feel close to him even though I never got to see him other than on TV.

I was too small to watch Secretariat win the Triple Crown I was born in 1971 but I have watched the footage lots of times and it moves me to tears. I had the pleasure of knowing one of Secratariat's descendants and he was a beautiful red I wish I could have seen Secretariat in person! what a sight he must have been! Miss Penny I admire you for your strength and perserverance! you are a remarkable woman! My horse is a retired thoroughbred and they are quite the characters.
I have been a Secretariat fan since I was a child he was always special to me.
Thank you for preserving his accoplishments! I hope to one day be able to visit his grave and see where he grew up.
Miss Penny thank you for making a cameo appearance in the recent Disney film it was an honor to see you reliving the moment.
I hope to see another Triple Crown winner in my lifetime (I also didn't see Seattle Slew or Affirmed's runs I was too small)
There will only ever be one
Secretariat! Thank you

I love horses and my favorite movie of horses beside Spirit, stallion of the cimarron and SECRETARIAT XD when i saw the movie for the second time I cried:') and my mom told me about this page and it's now my favorite page :)

Realmente no conocía la historia de Secretariat hasta que vi la pelicula en HBO. Que caballo tan excepcional y con una dueña con temples de acero. Mis respetos para ellos

Hello. I am new to the Secretariat website but a long time fan! Secretariat is a huge inspiration for me as well as Penny. I have seen the movie more than a hundred times and i cant wait to come to his birthday! Horses have always been a passion for me so i can't wait to hear more about this race horse's legacy!
GO SECRETAIAT!!!!!

My dream is to one day own my own horse! Both my daughter and I are fans of horses. When i first saw the movie, "Secretariat" - it had me on my feet jumping. I can't tell you how many times I've seen that movie - I admire Penny Chenery's will and love for "horses".

Dear Penny:

Happy Birthday and many more! I have always been a horse person. My grandmother used to talk about Man O' War and Seabiscuit to me when I was a kid in the 1930s. I have always watched the triple crown races and watched in 1973 and was as thrilled then as I was again when watching the Disney movie, Secretariat, on DVD for the first of many times. There probably will never be another horse as great as the Big Red. I admire you for your will to persevere and win. I also admire and thank you for your work with rescue horses. I have an old gelding that I rescued 12 years ago is now in his thirties. Since I am now 80, we are both too old to ride anymore so I keep him now just my buddy. My ranch vet says that he would sit in your lap if he could.

I love your website.

I was a young bride and hopelessly in love with a horse. I will never forget watching that race on my small TV and crying.America achieved greatness on the back of a horse, ...with the westward move and throughout our history...the horse brought us to where we are now.

When I was 24, I watched Secretariat on TV, thrilled, but ignorant of what I was truly seeing. After watching the Disney movie (multiple time) I was motivated to order every book I could find on his life, breeding, history of Meadow Farm, etc. I admire Penny Chenery's hard work and commitment. I had visited Claiborne and seen Secretariat's stall and his grave twice. (My husband and I travelled to Lexington each June for 30 years for a benefit.) I wish it all could be lived over again. I will always wonder just how fast he would have run just to have fun and beat another stallion. I wish I could have known him and looked into his big dark eyes. I thank Penny for affording us the opportunity witness such natural strength, perfection, and beauty.

Happy Birthday Ms. Chenery. Thank you for having the vision and determination to continue your quest for making certain the world saw in Secretariat what you saw. I have never joined a fan club but Secretariat's would be the one for me. I have watched the movie multiple times. I live in Louisiana and for my summer vacation we traveled to the Meadow, while I was unable to tour the facility it was rewarding to view the barns from the road. We then left and traveled to Claiborne Farm, but without realizing an appointment was required we were unable to visit the Secretariat site. The country was beautiful and I will return someday. Once again, thank you for the memories.
