The movie was wonderful and full of emotional moments for me. Witnessing the birth of a foal is a life-changing experience. Somehow they are so fragile and so strong at the same time - standing on long wobbly legs just hours after being born.
Young Secretariat
I found myself being nervous and excited before every racing scene, even though I already knew the outcome. The race scenes were a mix of emotions - both happy (for the appreciation and gratitude I felt for the years I got to spend bonding and caring for these incredible animals) and sad (I miss it).
Secretariat may not be movie of the year, but you'll the theater feeling good - and inspired! My only regret is that I forgot to bring tissue!
Hope your week is dreamy!

Dogs and horses are my favorite creatures. How lucky you are to have had horses in your life for so long. I'm sure they will come back in someday. Thought about seeing that movie yesterday!
What a touching post! I am for sure going to see this and already predicted the need for tissue...I am a crybaby!
I think it is so awesome that you were a part of that life for so long....it's never too late to start again :)
Have a great week!

I see I'm not the only one who gets carried away into the plot of a movie. This sounds like a good one.
I cannot wait to see this movie! We have to wait until February here in Australia, can you believe it?! I spent some time with horses when I was young too and it changes you forever, they are the most noble creatures.. I loved Seabiscuit too, I've just ordered it on blu ray so I can watch it again!

I look forward to seeing this movie. I am a huge Diane Lane fan and I love that she is acting in this movie.

Oh, I get so emotional with movies about animals too!! What wonderful memories you have to share with your daughter! Take care, Caroline
From a past barn girl to another...it was a great movie. I did a post on Monday too! xx
What? Are you out of your mind. It is the movie of the year. You made the point perfectly, we all knew the outcome, but the story of Penny Tweedy was the most inspirational story, in a time, where her behavior was considered, dangerous to marriage and family. Watching the transition from, nobody gets her, to pure admiration and the message of tenacity, is the message of truth. Legendary courage, combined with insanity, guts and intuition,makes this the movie of the year.
Best,
