Secretariat - The horse that God Built

Description

“Have you given the horse strength?
Have you clothed his neck with thunder?
Can you frighten him like a locust?
His majestic snorting strikes terror.
He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
He gallops into the clash of arms.
He mocks at fear, and is not frightened;
Nor does he turn back from the sword.
The quiver rattles against him,
The glittering spear and javelin.
He devours the distance with fierceness and rage;
Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.
At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle from afar,
The thunder of captains and shouting.
Job 39:19-25

It’s not the best, but I’m really fighting with my shading style. But I did want to draw Secretariat. It’s kind of amazing if you think of all the little things that had to work just right for him to have become who he was and just how much faith his owner had to have. In the Disney movie they reflect everything back to the story of Job and the verse above. It’s just an awesome story in all.

Was an awesome film! Even i had to admit it was a crazy set of coincidences that 'made' this horse... the faith his owner had in him was amazing and paid off.
