I grabbed onto my horse’s mane as she galloped through the trails. Everything around me was a blur. It was almost as if I was riding a thoroughbred that had just taken off out of the gates. There have been many amazing animals throughout history, but perhaps one rose above the others. Perhaps that one was Secretariat.
