But you may not know this (although maybe you do as I blab about it all the time and consider it one of my life highlights - I'll probably be blabbing about it on my deathbed!) - I actually got to meet Secretariat in the spring of 1989 at Claiborne Farms. And what's more, they brought him out of the pasture so we could see him up close - and I GOT TO TOUCH HIM! He was such a kind, sweet horse - I was able to stand right next to him - he was as big in person as he looks in the photos - and stroke him on the neck and shoulder. I was greatly saddened to hear of his death that fall.<br /><br />I was pregnant with my older daughter at the time and she says that's why she's so "horsey"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
