Willie Nelson once said, "My horses are probably the luckiest horses in the world. They get hand-fed twice a day, and they were just about to be sent to slaughter, which is probably the last thing they remember. So, they're happy horses." His words reflect a profound bond with these animals. For Nelson, horses are more than just creatures of work or leisure—they are companions who have been given a second chance at life.

Over the years, he has rescued many horses from dire circumstances, offering them a sanctuary where they can live peacefully and enjoy their days. His deep affection for horses stems from a genuine understanding of their spirit and needs. He has often spoken about how they are incredibly sensitive, intelligent creatures, and his connection with them goes beyond mere ownership—it's a relationship based on mutual respect and care. In many ways, the horses he has saved are a reflection of his own life philosophy: that everyone, no matter their past, deserves a chance at happiness and peace

Every morning at dawn, at his “home” racetrack of Belmont in New York City, or at whatever track he happened to be, the Thoroughbred racehorse named Secretariat would stick his head out the stall and wait for his pal. The stall had a strong door, of course, but the usual way of keeping horses in their stalls is to slide the door back into its slot and attach strong, foot-high webbing into bolts on either side of the door set at the horse’s chest height.

This allows a curious horse to stick his head out, look down the hallways and watch everything. If a horse hears human footsteps or the clip-clop of another horse, he can check it out. Maybe say hello. Racehorses spend most of their time in stalls, and an open door helps relieve boredom. Early every morning, with sunrise still hours away, groom Edward “Shorty” Sweat would walk down that long hallway to begin his day’s work, and every morning he saw the same thing. Secretary with his head out, watching for, waiting for, his best friend.

Secretariat was a kind horse, and playful. Eddie would toss the horse’s halter into the corner of the stall. Secretariat would pick up the halter with his teeth and drop it at Eddie’s feet; it was a game they played. Secretariat would try to steal the brush from Eddie’s hand, and he would pull on Eddie’s shirt like a pup playing tug-of-war.
Eddie was Secretariats groom, the man who cleaned his stall, gave him his food and water, put on his bridle and saddle, picked the dirt and stones from his hooves, put on his blanket, loaded him in the van and drove him to the next track and the one after that. This was Eddie’s job, and he did it better than anyone, according to many people long familiar with horses and grooms and racetracks. But looking after Secretariat was more than a job for Shorty Sweat. For him, that horse was like a son, brother and best friend all rolled into one.

Eddie knew, for example, that Big Red – as many now called him – hated to have his ears touched. He knew that the horse slept standing, facing a corner. At night, when the barn was quiet, the horse would lie down, but not on his side. He would fold his front legs beneath him and listen for strange sounds. When he heard one, he would quickly stand up. ready to run if called upon.

When Eddie would arrive before dawn, Secretariat always stuck out his tongue. Eddie would grab it playfully and shake it as if he were shaking another man’s hand. Ron Turcotte, the horse’s jockey, or rider, started this by one day reaching into Secretariat‘s mouth and grabbing his tongue as a greeting. The horse must’ve thought this was another good game, because every morning after that, Big Red would stick out that big pink tongue of his, and Eddie would shake it.
“Hey, Eddie,” Secretariat was saying.
Hey, Red,” his groom would reply.
This was their routine morning greeting through late 1972 and into 1973, when Secretariat was The Reigning King of Racehorses.

Penny offering Secretariat his favorite treat in his Belmont stall, Certs breath mints. Someone had a sweet tooth. Riva Ridge, Meadow Stable's 1972 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner, had the stall to Secretariat's left. I am sure he got a favorite treat too. Penny loved both of her babies. She considered Riva belonging to her, but Secretariat belonging to the world.

NORTHERN DANCER❤️🏆
Small and stocky, the bonny bay c**t was built more like an old-style Quarter Horse than a sleek Thoroughbred. In 1962, he was offered for $25,000 at his yearling sale. There were no takers. Two years later, in the lead-up to the Kentucky Derby the press poked fun at the c**t’s pint-size (15.1 hands) stature. Then Northern Dancer uncorked a jaw-dropping two-minute flat run breaking the 89-year-old track record and become the first Canadian-born and -bred horse to win the world’s most famous race.
