Seabiscuit: The Little Horse with a Big Heart
Seabiscuit was a very special racehorse who lived many years ago. He was born on May 23, 1933, and he was smaller than most racehorses. He also had a funny way of running. But what Seabiscuit lacked in size and style, he made up for with his big heart and love for running.
At first, people didn't think Seabiscuit could be a good racehorse. He lost many of his early races, and he loved to sleep and eat more than he liked to run! But a man named Tom Smith saw something special in Seabiscuit. He thought Seabiscuit could be a great racehorse with a little help. So, Tom began training Seabiscuit, teaching him how to use his speed and energy in the best way.
With Tom's help, Seabiscuit started winning races, and he started winning a lot! He ran so fast that he often finished ahead of all the other horses. People everywhere were surprised by this little horse who could run so fast, and they began to cheer for him.
One of Seabiscuit's most exciting races was against a horse named War Admiral in 1938. War Admiral was a very fast horse, and many people thought Seabiscuit didn't stand a chance. But on that day, Seabiscuit ran faster than ever before and won the race!
Seabiscuit showed everyone that you don't have to be the biggest or the most beautiful to be the best. What's most important is what's inside: your heart and your spirit. His story reminds us to never give up, even when things seem tough. He will always be remembered as a little horse with a big heart.
